Bloomberg Breaking the Law: Round II

So first he hires PI's to go out of state to try and entrap gun stores into breaking the law. The result? A bunch of civil lawsuits forcing shops to close, a letter of reprimand to him by the BATFE, a new law specifically targeting Bloomberg's actions, and not a single criminal charge pressed against any of the shops.

Bloomie apparently considered that a victory as he has now done the same thing at out of state gun shows, hiring PI's to go to various states and try to buy guns from "unlicensed firearm dealers" and exploit the 'Gun Show Loophole', nevermind the fact that these same transactions can occur outside of any show. And all of this right before the upcoming election.

I'm going to guess that again there will be no criminal charges against the alleged sellers.

More at SIH.

No, but there bloody well should be against those responsible for the illegal purchases.

Ditto. I want the PI and the guy that hired them brought up on charges. Fat chance.

about 3 months back my local new hampshire FFL holder had a carload (NY plates) of people come into his store one at a time..they'd look over the rifles, and go back to the car.

finally the driver got out, and tried to buy all the rifles all the other guys were just drooling over.

the FFL holder threw his ass out...but not until the local cops showed up.

I don't give a damn if any of these these idiot private investigators ARE working for bloomberg. they violated federal law and should be prosecuted.

a PI license does not allow you to break the law.
