Well, which is it?
Sharp shootin’ Jack Weinstein, judge of the Eastern District, has used a silver bullet to single-handedly keep alive Mayor Bloomberg’s battle to get illegal guns off the street. The judge rightly ruled that the city can use federal data it already has against gunmakers and distributors who carelessly deliver their wares to unscrupulous dealers who, in turn, sell to criminals. Weinstein is the man in the white hat against the firearms black market.
Again, in New York there is no difference between legitimate firearms manufacturers or distributors and the black market, even though every where else, one is lawful and the other is not.

Weinstein is a doddering old (over 80) liberal who uses the law to do whatever he wants to do. This will be overturned on appeal, just like his previous decisions on gun lawsuits were.
