NYPD gunrunning

Posted by David Hardy · 25 October 2011 07:58 AM

8 NYPD officers charged with running guns, including M-16s.

"The gun-trafficking allegations strike at the heart of one of the New York Police Department’s most hard-fought and robust initiatives, and one that has been a central theme of the administration of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg: getting guns off the street of New York City."

Bummer for Bloomie. However, make guns hard for people to get, and the incentive to sell them illegally goes up, as does the temptation for people with access to guns to take advantage of the situation for their personal benefit.

It's called "human nature", unchanged for millenia despite our intellectual progress in other areas.

Isn't this the same agency that investigated "illegal" AZ Gun Shows, because they had solved all the problems back east?

The irony is that this is the same organization that recently filed lawsuits against law-abiding gun shop owners in other states.

On the contrary, this is exactly what Bloomberg wants. Those guns probably didn't make it to the NYC streets...
