NYC Mayor blames NRA

Posted by David Hardy · 16 December 2005 09:15 AM

New York CIty mayor Michael Bloomberg has blamed the NRA for shooting deaths of two officers. Nevermind that the city, and the state, have strict firearms laws, those of Pennsylvania and Virginia aren't up to his standards, and that must be why the laws don't work. The one gun the article mentions as having been traced was stolen, in Florida, so exactly how stricter laws would have affected this is not very clear.

I always found this interesting in debates. The other side will contend (1) gun laws won't be evaded, because murders are crimes of passion where the offender doesn't plan in advance to evade the law, but (2) gun laws must be strict nationwide, because offenders will travel hundreds of miles in advance to evade local laws.
