DOUBLE DOSE OF NEWS FROM CURRENT, FORMER MAYORS
DOUBLE DOSE OF NEWS FROM CURRENT, FORMER MAYORS
After former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani took the penultimate step in declaring his candidacy for president (filing a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission), the National Shooting Sports Foundation issued a nationwide press release reminding America's sportsmen and gun enthusiasts of Giuliani's horrendous record concerning firearms freedoms, including support for gun bans and being the only Republican mayor to sue the firearms industry. NSSF's release was cited in several newspapers and news reports, including Washington, D.C.'s The Hill.
In the meantime, federal authorities condemned the current city administration for its actions involving "sting" operations of federally licensed firearms dealers. In a letter to the Mayor's Office, the U.S. Department of Justice admonished the city for engaging in stings of out-of-state dealers (using private investigators) and warned it not to conduct any additional stings or face "potential legal liabilities." At the time the city announced filing civil lawsuits against these dealers, NSSF was the first to call for a federal investigation and warned that the mayor's actions jeopardized the lives of law enforcement officials and interfered with ongoing criminal investigations. In fact, ATF officials later publicly confirmed the city's actions did interfere with as many as 18 ongoing criminal investigations.

Romney is a gun grabber just like Guilliani and McCain. These three stooges are a threat to American freedoms, period.0 -

Oh yeah, I really liked this quote: "I strongly support the Second Ammendment, but I support the Assault Weapons Ban"

The more I watch the debates, the more I like Huckabee....not that he'll ever win [:(]0 -
If a dem president is voted in, we darn sure better have more republicans in the House of reps.It wouldn't hurt if the Senate gained a few republicans seats.If Dubya had gone looking in Afganistan and left Iraq alone we'd all be safer , as far as are guns are concerned.I could be wrong, but I don't see a republican president in are future. 0 -
If we end up with a Democratic Congress and President there is no hope remaining for our second amendment rights. Like Schumer said, we will get our turn, and here it comes.
I am amazed that all these anti-gun senators and congressment just get elected time after time by NY, Mass, MI, NJ, CA, IL and other blue states.0 -
The last hope may be if the DC lawyers push the Parker case to the supreme court. IF their decision went our way on the 2nd then making more gun laws would be a dead issue and we might even get some repealed. I know, wishful thinking. 0 -

I don't think its wishful, I think its realistic.....
The only thing that troubles me is that it appears that Levy is all by himself in paying for the case....the NRA and others have only expressed interest in "observing" the case if it goes to the SCOTUS.
On the other hand, I know that anti-gun organizations are lining up to give D.C. money to fight the case. They are assembling a sizable
"war chest" and likely a small army of lawyers.
It looks like it'll be David vs. Goliath......0 -
As I understand it, Levy has turned down help from outside organizations (like the NRA). I think he didn't want the baggage they would bring. At any rate, he has some very deep pockets. 0
