NYCPD With Bloomberg OK, Set Up Gun Show Loophole Sting In 3 States

Bastards...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, issued the following statement about the announcement, by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, of the results of an investigation into gun shows:

"Many transactions at gun shows are a threat to public safety. We need leadership on this issue from the White House and we don't have it right now. President Obama supported tightening the rules at gun shows as a Senator and as a candidate for President in 2007 and 2008. But since taking office, he has refused to engage on this issue, and he appears to have silenced his Cabinet secretaries as well.

"The President needs to urge Congress to close this dangerous loophole, and his Administration needs to provide the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives the resources to effectively enforce federal gun laws. Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg and the New York City Police Department, the public can see firsthand what goes on at these weapons markets. Private sellers trade AK-47s for cash without even seeing identification, and straw purchases occur regularly without oversight.

"This important investigation shines light on two critical gaps regarding gun shows. First, unlicensed sellers are selling guns without conducting Brady criminal background checks - cash and carry, no questions asked. Second, some licensed sellers operating at gun shows are breaking current federal laws, and are not held accountable due to the lack of federal law enforcement oversight at these events. Mayor Bloomberg and New York's law enforcement leaders deserve praise for conducting this investigation."

As the nation's largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign, with its dedicated network of Million Mom March Chapters, works to enact and enforce sensible gun laws, regulations and public policies. The Brady Campaign is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work, and in our communities.

*** NON PARTISAN???!?!?!?!??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! ****

They used the same tactics used in the Acorn sting to find this in Ohio, TN, and NV.

Any way they can, the video doesn't help, when a buyer tells a dealer "I can't pass a NICS check, and the dealer says cash and carry".....

Damn,...

It has nothing to do with Gun Shows and everything to do with bad people committing felonious acts. People that are knowingly committing a felony should go to prison........ THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GUNS!

 According to www.gunfacts.info far less than 1% of guns used in violent crimes are purchased at gunshows. Bear in mind that this includes those used in suicides and domestic violence incidents.
Bloomburg is AGAIN conspiring to commit felonies in his vendetta against our civil rights.
ATF should charge him this time.

I wish, this time, the anti's would use that, but they don't, won't and will stop at nothing to get Gov't to get their grubby fingers into any part of public "weapons markets" they can....

Why aren't the Senators and Reps from OH, TN and NV getting together and petitioning the DOJ to investigate this, and have the ATF bring Nanny Bloomie to bear?

Would love to see him do the perp walk just once.

So far I have only read their version.  I'd like to see the vids (unedited) and see interviews (if possible) with the sellers.

When only one side is presented.....

While I'm sure the number is really low, I really doubt its 1%.  FTF sales are very hard to keep track off.    Most guns used in crimes are stolen.
