Wall Street Journal Sets Record Straight

Did you hear that bankers in New York City were all practically lining up to get guns? Of course this was reported in Bloomberg News, which was founded by… oh let’s see, the same Mike Bloomberg who is now mayor of New York and who has started Mayors Against Illegal Guns. We can’t imagine that could be anything but biased.

Fortunately, we’re happy to report that The Wall Street Journal has set the record straight, offering some interesting facts:

“New York police spokesman Paul J. Browne says that their records show only four Goldman employees have applied for gun permits in recent years — and the last application was made in 2003. That application, by the firm’s head of security for a ‘carry permit,’ was granted.”

Imagine the head of security would need a firearm.
