Maybe not. As I understand it, those were not “gun dealers” but pawn shops, and the Mayor’s complaint seems to be that the weapons may have been sold as a “private” transaction and no checking done.

Still grandstanding, but possibly with a point depending on how many units were sold at a time and whether any type of form was used and/or reported. Of course, this is the same mayor who outlawed toy guns and had his picture taken holding up a lime-green water pistol as one of the items banned for too closely resembling a “real” pistol… And NYC now requires tracking of medicines taken by diabetics: just what dangers do diabetics and their medications pose that they must be tracked?

I think the ATF needs to have a talk with those PIs.

BTW-your sitemeter says 1,000,014.
