In May, New York authorities accused a Smyrna gun store of illegally supplying guns that sometimes ended up in the hands of criminals. The gun store fired back on Thursday.
In a $400 million lawsuit filed Thursday in Cobb County, Adventure Outdoors said that New York officials libeled and slandered several gun shop owners by referring to them as “rogue gun dealers.“ The suit takes aim at New York and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.» AJC: Cobb gun store files lawsuit against N.Y.
Bloomberg has become known as “The Nanny” because of his paternalistic statist proclivities since succeeding Rudy Giuliani as New York mayor. He has sought to ban every choice ever made by ordinary people, of which he happens to disapprove—except gun ownership, which was already all but banned outright in New York City decades ago. But of course he still zeroes in on lawful gun ownership by law-abiding Americans as something that needs to be stamped out even if he has to go far beyond his jurisdiction to do it.
Not that this is anything new for the Big Apple’s big cheeses; once after a highly publicized stabbing murder in a New York subway, then-mayor David Dinkins told reporters the crime illustrated the need for more stringent gun control in the city.
There has actually been talk of Bloomberg running for president.
I don’t think he’d do too well in the red states.
