The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association notes:

The City Council yesterday passed a series of bills aimed at bolstering gun control and cracking down on gun crime. The measures, introduced jointly by Mayor Bloomberg and the council speaker, Christine Quinn, require any person convicted of a gun crime to register with the city and prohibit a person from buying more than one handgun in a three-month period.

So, like sex offenders, gun criminals are now registered. And one handgun every three months? Remember, they said the one gun per month was just to prevent illegal dealers. This law will only prevent the law-abiding from buying them. Bloomy issues a statement:

These four bills – the first of their kind in the nation – will make it harder and riskier to buy and sell illegal guns in our City, and help make the safest big city in America even safer.

No, they won’t. More:

As I have said many times, the City has no objection to law-abiding citizens who own guns …

Then why do you punish the law-abiding when criminals simply will not obey this law. They don’t obey the others after all.

… and gun dealers who play by the rules.

Is that why you conducted an illegal sting operation against gun dealers who were playing by the rules and are now getting sued for it?
