The real story here, as Uncle’s headline suggests, isn’t that “bad men got gun permits”, if such is the case, but that in New York one must be famous, connected, or rich to enjoy certain enumerated rights. And possibly that law enforcement officials are more concerned with lining their pockets than in upholding and protecting citizens rights.
