Of Course

Of course Mayor Bloomberg blames the people in states that are hundreds of miles from New York for New York City’s crime problem.

The mayor’s team blasted the state’s existing laws, saying what is in place makes it easier for criminals to obtain firearms, which are sold illegally in New York City’s black market.

New York Special Narcotics Prosecutor spoke about the “simplicity of business model” and the complete “indifference of gun suppliers” in the consequences of their actions to citizens there.

“It was all about money. It was all about the fact that they could buy guns in a state where restrictions were loose and resell them on the black market in a state at a very high price, because we have such tough gun restrictions in New York State.”

Larry Hyatt, owner of the country’s largest independent gun shop, attributes New York City’s burgeoning sales of illegal guns as an “unintended consequence” to the state’s tough laws.

“It is so lucrative for a criminal to get an illegal gun, by theft or straw purchase, and get it to New York. And they can make good profit, and that’s what they are doing,” said Hyatt.

Hyatt believes New York’s close proximity to the Carolinas, in this case, a bus ride away, has more to do the illegal guns from this state than existing laws.

“They are blaming us but they really don’t have a solution. The solution is for us to give up our gun rights,” he said.

Giving up your rights seems to be the solution to all of Bloomberg’s problems.
