NY Daily News Offers Bloomberg Platform

Anti-gun zealot Michael Bloomberg, New York City’s mayor, was given an opportunity to voice his opinions on guns this weekend for The New York Daily News. We hope the paper will allow those who oppose Bloomberg’s plans to have a chance to have their voice be heard.

While we don’t totally disagree with the plans to microstamp bullets, we do want to know what the cost would be. Additionally, we question what this would mean for the potential millions of bullets that are already owned? We worry that Bloomberg would call for these to be handed in. Even if that’s not the case, we fear that microstamping could result in a black market of existing ammo, where criminals look to buy or steal bullets to avoid being traced.
