Excellent Idea
There’s someone out there telling folks to buy guns illegally, and I think it’s time we put a stop to it. He’s directing contract employees to walk into gun stores, lie on the paperwork about who’s buying the gun, and walk out after making a straw purchase.
Even worse, he’s bragging about what he’s doing. He’s holding press conferences to tell the world about what he’s done, but so far law enforcement doesn’t seem to be listening.
Well, I think it’s time we help out the ATF agents that enforce our nation’s gun laws. We need to call their Illegal Gun Hotline at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (that’s 1-800-283-4867) and alert them to this illegal firearms activity. Tell them that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is hiring private investigators to initiate straw purchases in several states, and you want them to enforce the law.
Capital idea. I’m going to call today. You should do the same thing.
It’s good to see the NRA finally pushing the Bloomberg-broke-the-law angle since the blogs have been saying it for a while.

[…] First, asking people to contact the ATF to report gun crimes being committed by Michael Bloomberg was genius. Now, it seems LaPierre is all Bloomberg all the time: Bloomberg and Menino have been trying to blame violent crime in their own vicious cities on the gun laws of Vermont. […]

Actually, a “simulated” straw purchase isn’t a real straw purchase, and so is perfectly legal. But this also means that the gun dealers didn’t break any laws either, since no straw purchase occured. It’s just a bunch of crap.

Because she asked nicely
Well actually, she didn’t ask so much just say she didn’t have time. I don’t have time to do much of a fisking but I can do a little:…
