Bloomberg tells Mormons to stop selling guns
This is an odd one:
One would think that a church would feel a special obligation to make sure that they weren’t fueling a black market for a particularly deadly form of commerce
Bloomie’s knickers are all in a twist because the LDS folks run classified ads on their for profit website.

As a (non-LDS) Utahn, I think Bloomberg should worry about the shit in his own city, and keep his nose out of what other states do.
Bloomberg can kiss my ass.

You mean he totally ignored http://www.texasguntrader.com?
I wonder how it can get on the list?

Bloomie and his felons that call themselves mayors can pound sand. KSL’s classified ads are the very best online free classifieds anywhere and if you want to buy a firearm, just like if you want to buy a couch, motorcycle or snowblower, KSL is where you turn in Utah. For example, compare Craigslist in Salt Lake City to any other major city, you will see they are under populated and poorly used. That is because KSL’s classifieds beat them hands down.
I’ve bought and sold guns on KSL and never not had a seller ask me to show some kind of ID, normally my CCW permit. Buyers and sellers are looking out for each other. We don’t need an eastern lib mayor telling us how to do business in Utah!

Nate from Ogden, AMEN TO THAT! Also… greetings FROM Ogden. There’s a reason that even here in Ogden, considered the armpit of Utah, I can leave my doors unlocked at night. You break into a home in Utah and you stand a very high chance of running your last job.

Heh. “Know who benefits?”

Let’s see what Mickey Bloomberg is trying to do today. Violate the First Amendment twice; i.e., Speech and Religion; violate the 2nd. Amendment; violate Article 1, section 9; violate the 9th and 10th Amendment.
Gee, you think that someone who is just a Mayor and a Billionaire could afford to hire a Lawyer to tell him that his Legal Authority ends in Hoboken, and he’s NOT the Mayor of the United States.

Tango, a shame some of those people doing the B&E are the Ogden SWAT.
But yeah, +1 NYC is a crime-ridden cesspit awash with criminals and corrupt cops, and Utah is listed in The Guide as “Mostly Harmless”.

Yeah, Weerd… he’s got moral superiority over criminals. He’s got not a leg to stand on over the law-abiding. Better make THEM criminals so he can have superiority over them, too. Barring that, all he can do is take away THEIR arms. Can’t have those pesky subjects standing up for themselves and getting all uppity, now can we?

Not even a city the size of NYFC can contain Bloomberg’s ego.

All newspapers should let people sell or buy their guns in the Classified section.

But doesn’t Bloomberg’s goons have guns?

John Moses Browning designed the quintessential American arms because he was Mormon who was persecuted and wanted to make sure his religious fellow travelers could defend themselves from folks like… Mayor Bloomberg.
The irony is tragically thick here.

Paul, they’re “only ones”.

Gene, JMB (PBUH) understood something that most people don’t realize. Perhaps you’ve heard this before. 😉
“Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”
He never forgot history and in return for being grateful for what he had, he also designed them for the military. That’s “turning the other cheek”, so to speak. Yet another thing Bloomberg will never be able to do.
