Firing Back: Mayor Bloomberg Says “Gun Show Loophole” Not About Second Amendment Rights… Yeah, Right!

Election day is coming up. And I have a problem with my mayor, Mike Bloomberg, and I for one won’t vote him. I won’t vote for his challenger either, so on Election Day I’ll opt not to cast my vote. I need to do this to hopefully send a message to His Honor that he is in fact sending the wrong message when it comes to the issue of firearms. Mayor Bloomberg has released a report entitled “Gun Show Undercover,” and while this report should be taken seriously – especially if criminals are using gun shows to obtain guns illegally, there is a bigger issue at heart. 

In a statement Bloomberg said, “This is an issue that has nothing to do with the Second Amendment; it’s about keeping guns from criminals, plain and simple.”

I don’t know if I see it that way. Getting a rifle permit is difficult and expensive in New York City, and obtaining a pistol permit is for many nearly impossible. Bloomberg uses the phrases, “guns off the streets,” and “out of the hands of criminals.” But really he wants all guns – expect for those of the police and his wealthy friends – completely out of New York City. The best solution is for this mayor to go back to being a private citizen, and hopefully soon.
