Exiled And Addicted
Retired Screen Name
Last night; Mike Wallace covered it; horribly one-sided (ant-gun, go figure), IMO.
What Mayor Daly Dunce needs to realize is that IF the suburban guns stores in question did what is alleged (selling guns with KNOWLEDGE of intended illegal use or KNOWLEDGE of intended illegal tranfer), then that is ALREADY a federal crime which carries a stiff criminal penalty and carries FFL revocation.
The Dunce's answer to why, then, try to hold the manufacturers liable? was so weak it's pathetic: He said, in essence, it was the gun manufacurer's responsibility to police the gun dealers for violations like that (nevermind that there is a huge federal beauracracy whose job is already precisely that - BATF).
What an idiot; at least Monkey Mike called him on one thing; He basically got the Mayor to admit that he wants to see the gun manufacturers out of business at all costs, for any excuse, legal or otherwise, just like those out to squash the tobacco companies at all costs. Of course, we have known this all along; that the anti's goal is not reasonable enforcement of existing law, but to put gun makers out of business.
