NYPD Shoots Man in Times Square

As we’ve long suggested, why don’t the police in New York and other big cities go after the real criminals and not worry so much about senseless gun laws that keep firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens. The proof today, as reported by WABC News:

“According to officials, an undercover officer was dealing with illegal peddlers in Times Square. When the officer approached two peddlers, one of them took off running and a chase ensued. The sergeant pursued, and the man turned and fired with a Mac-10 machine pistol that held 30 rounds; he got off two shots before it jammed, Browne said, shattering the glass window at a Broadway baby store.”

To recap; an illegal peddler fired on the police with a very illegal Mac-10 machine pistol. This is NOT the sort of weapon that can just be obtained at Ohio or Virginia Gun Shows. So here again is proof that even with strict gun laws, criminals will obtain illegal weapons!
