Nanny Bloomberg Goes After Guns...in Arizona

Perhaps Nanny Bloomberg should worry about clearing the snow in Manhattan rather than spend $100,000 to hit gun shows in Arizona:

Weeks after the shooting in Tucson, sellers at an Arizona gun show allowed undercover investigators hired by New York City to buy semiautomatic pistols even after they said they probably couldn't pass a background check, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday.

"After Tucson, you would think that people, particularly at a gun show in Arizona, would have been much more careful in enforcing the law," he said. "That unfortunately in some cases wasn't the case."

Bloomberg has authorized similar sting operations around the country as part of a push for tougher federal laws to help keep guns off the streets of New York.

But in the sensitive aftermath of the shooting Jan. 8 that killed six people and critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the mayor was questioned about the time and place of his hidden-camera investigation, a $100,000 operation conducted almost clear across the country.

"Let me get this straight: From New York City, they are going to send people to Arizona to look into this?" said state Sen. Ron Gould, a Republican. "They might take a look a little closer to home if they are concerned about guns getting in their state."

Both New York City and State have tremendous fiscal problems and yet Nanny can spend $100,000 of the city's money to fund this gun/witch hunt.

Nanny Bloomberg wants to be America's mayor...literally. He doesn't see the boundaries of New York City as a limit on his power. The guy's dangerous and I guarantee you he has his sights set on the White House (to use a politically incorrect gun metaphor).
