Score one for Virginia
VIRGINIA GOVERNOR STANDS STRONG AGAINST BLOOMBERG . . . New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will have a harder time targeting Virginia gun dealers for lawsuits under legislation signed Friday by Gov. Tim Kaine, reports The Roanoke Times. The legislation (House Bill 2653) restricts "simulated straw purchases," the modus operandi of Bloomberg's civilian investigators. The mayor has used simulated transactions to allege wrongdoing and file suit against out-of-state firearms dealers. The U.S. Department of Justice has said the "evidence" derived from Bloomberg's private investigators does not warrant prosecution and has further admonished the mayor for his operations. NSSF has repeatedly warned that Bloomberg's actions have endangered law enforcement and interfered with ongoing criminal investigations, warnings that have now been validated by the DOJ.

I know one of the dealers targeted. He has received letter of support from ATF. ATF is also looking into criminal prosecution of the lead heads who set up the buys. The whole thing was bogus. Caused him to shut down his business for a while, though. 0 -
