Mayor Bloomberg’s NYC Police Officers Arrested For Smuggling Illegal Guns

Virginia Citizens Defense League

New York, NY --(Ammoland.com)- So Mayor Michael “Only police should have guns”…?

Bloomberg has some explaining to do.

EIGHT current and former police officers from New York City have just been arrested for smuggling M-16 MACHINE GUNS, OVER A DOZEN HANDGUNS, SHOTGUNS, all with serial numbers removed!

Funny, could Mayor Bloomberg be in on it. You know: Operation Fast and Furious envy?

But, now that I think about it, such gun running would allow Bloomberg to continue to point his finger at Virginia, while piously screaming that we need more gun control at federal levels.

But talk about bad timing – a “study” on gun trafficking was released today, of all days, and the author, Brian Knight, concludes that we need more federal laws to keep guns from being smuggled to New York!

I’ll bet Brian is slapping his head saying, “Doh!’

8 Officers Charged With Gun Trafficking in U.S. Corruption Case

By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM
Eight current and former New York Police Department officers were arrested early Tuesday on federal charges including gun trafficking and conspiracy to smuggle cigarettes, according to people briefed on the case.

The charges allege that the officers — five are still on the force and three are retired — were involved in illegally transporting more than a dozen handguns as well as M-16 assault rifles and shotguns and a variety of stolen property, the people briefed on the case said. The officers, along with a former New Jersey correction officer and three civilians, were arrested at their homes before sunrise by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and investigators from the Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, the people said.

The gun-trafficking allegations strike at the heart of one of the New York Police Department’s most hard-fought and robust initiatives, and one that has been a central theme of the administration of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg: getting guns off the street of New York City….[ follow the link above to read more.]

Here is an article on the “study” on gun smuggling. Perhaps the conclusion should be that we need to keep guns out of the hands of the NYC PD  http://tiny.cc/qos73

Mayors Against Legal Governing (MALG) Spins Off From Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG)

USA --(Ammoland.com)- Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) spokesperson Senator Al Franken announced today formation of a new political organization – Mayors Against Legal Governing, or MALG.

Inspiration for the spinoff organization came out of a recent emergency meeting called to address the problem of inordinate numbers of MAIG members running afoul of the law. Since it’s formation in 2006, MAIG has suffered a rash of embarrassing incidents where member Mayors have been arrested, convicted, and even jailed for a broad variety of crimes.

“I mean everyone knows that we don’t play by the same rules as common people. We finally decided, hey, why the secrecy? Let’s just be out in the open about it and organize and embrace the lawlessness,” noted MAIG and MALG Founder New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

MALG organizers stress the importance of planning and metrics to success of their long term mission.

“The pro-second amendment crowd likes to use lot’s of fancy statistics to prove things, so we decided we needed to whip up some of our own,” explained MALG organizer Bloomberg.

Inside sources indicate that Mayors Against Legal Governing is trying to make sure that their mayors have equal representation from all sorts of lawless behavior. So far, members have compiled an impressive list of illicit behaviors including Campaign Finance Scandal, Bribery, Counterfeiting, Domestic Abuse, Extortion, Money Laundering, Miscellaneous Corruption, Falsifying Evidence, Double-Secret Federal Charges, and Child Pornography.

“While we’re off to an impressive start, we’ve got some real gaps in the areas of armed robbery,  impersonation of clergy, and nude Llama wrestling,” observed Mayor Bloomberg. “If you know anyone, please give them my number.

“Originally we wanted to keep this organization exclusive and only allow membership to Mayors who are actual convicted felons or those who were in the process of being convicted,” explained Mayor Bloomberg. “But we’re really making a renewed effort to be inclusive so we’re going consider adding Mayors with Misdemeanors to the group.”
