Bloomburg editorial at Huff Post about gun shows

[fightingquaker13]

If Bloomberg wanted be useful, he would hold his sting out as an example of why we need better enforcement, not new laws. As others have pointed out this would be simple and cheap. Just send that felon in (maybe a tax cheat who gets a reduced sentence for playing along) and bust the sellers. Every PD in the country does this with booze. They send in an uderaged kid with no ID to bars and package stores to buy. If they succeed there is a bust. Its why bartenders check ID (unless you're a hot girl ). They know that making that extra $10 could cost them their license so they don't. ATF could do this at gunshows for pennies. Bloomberg knows it. but he doesn't care because he wants the shows closed and guns banned. This is all disingenuous bs.

You would be amazed at how many people will sell booze/ cigs to people under age. I have a freind that is 23, but she looks 16, she is the person that goes in to buy stuff.  From what she says, its 1/3 that will sell you cigs and about 1 in 5 that will sell you booze.
