Michael Bloomberg is perhaps the greatest threat to freedom ever to lead a major city in this nation. He wants to control the citizens of the Big Apple and other locales through the power of legislation and law enforcement. In New York City, you are not allowed to eat what you want, smoke where you wish or own a gun for self-defense, at least not without jumping through legal hurdles erected with help from this self-righteous man. He is helping to make New York City a socialist paradise where the word freedom is never used except in hypocrisy or ignorance.
Lawyers for Mayor Bloomberg are asking a judge to ban any reference to the Second Amendment during the upcoming trial of a gun shop owner who was sued by the city. While trials are often tightly choreographed, with lawyers routinely instructed to not tell certain facts to a jury, a gag order on a section of the Constitution would be an oddity.
A gag order on a section of the Constitution would be more than an oddity. It would be an end to the pretending that those in power actually care what the Constitution contains. For some people, such a gag order would be an invitation to armed revolution. When the government finally dares to spit on the Constitution openly there will be repercussions. At least I hope there will be. The document is worth defending.
In the meantime, I need to head down to Adventure Outdoors and support them by buying another gun from my favorite retailer of self-defense products. I happen to have anecdotal experience – I’ve purchased five guns from the store in the last ten years and have witnessed people being turned away for failing background checks. In my experience, the company has always complied with all applicable state and federal laws. Go to hell Bloomberg.
