NY Mayor Bloomberg Pushes Gun Control
by Ian Mosley
I suppose it was inevitable. The anti-gun liberals are jumping on the Virginia Tech bandwagon. Never mind the fact that the university president created a “gun-free zone” where the massacre took place –violating Virginia state law. Never mind the fact that every large massacre has taken place where gun control prevails. And Never mind the fact a psycho killer isn’t going to stop his shooting spree just because a liberal has put up a gun ban somewhere.
CBS TV reports that New York “Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a coalition of 214 mayors are using the Virginia Tech massacre to pressure Congress to give local cops the information they need to trace illegal guns used in crimes.” (It’s called gun registration and has already been declared illegal and unconstitutional in a number of court cases. Canada just recently wasted billions on a massive gun registration effort.) “CBS 2 has also learned that they’re also launching a TV ad campaign starting Sunday…The ads will start running in four days in New York, Washington and the congressional districts of key gun advocates. The ads are funded by Bloomberg, who said he will personally spend whatever it takes to stop a bill that would allow the feds to withhold crucial information on illegal guns needed by local cops.” (more…)
