United States citizen groups demand federal prosecution of New York's
Bloomberg, notes American gun law expert

Washington, DC 20036 January 21 2007

Gun rights expert John M. Snyder released the following column today:

Over two dozen national and regional groups of American citizens over

the weekend called for a federal investigation of Mayor Michael
Bloomberg of New York City.

In a letter to Michael J. Sullivan, Acting Director of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the 26 organizations, through
the auspices of the Liberty Coalition in Washington, D.C., called upon
BATFE "to immediately investigate and prosecute New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg and his associates for conspiring to violate the
federal Gun Control Act of 1968 as amended by the Brady Act of 1995."

For some time now, the Manhattan gun grabber has been stumping the
country campaigning for laws and regulations to undermine if not
downright eliminate the individual Second Amendment civil right of tens
of millions of law-abiding American citizens to keep and bear arms.

It's about time he got his comeuppance. In reality, Bloomberg is working
against the right to self-defense of law-abiding American citizens, of
the very right to life itself. Perhaps this citizen letter to the U.S.
Justice Department's BATFE is a good first step in giving Bloomberg a
dose of his own medicine.

"It is well known," reads the letter, "that Mayor Bloomberg has
organized a multi-state vigilante-style campaign against federal gun
dealers. Bloomberg's gambit is simple - without any federal or state law
enforcement authorization, he sends people to federal firearms dealers
to break federal law by providing false information on the federal ATF
Form 4473 firearm transfer form, and then purchasing guns for persons
prohibited by law from taking possession of guns (a so called 'straw
sale'). Bloomberg then files a civil lawsuit against the dealer in a New
York court while using a covertly made video tape of the transaction to
blackmail the dealer into 'settling' on terms where the City of New
York's 'Special Master' will supplant ATF supervision of the dealer and
peruse Americans' confidential federal gun transfer records at will."

According to the letter, "Congress' charter to the ATF to regulate
federal gun dealers and interstate gun sales did not come with a command
for the agency to step aside when a wealthy New York City mayor wants to
break federal criminal statutes and impose New York City style gun
control across the nation as a publicity stunt. Moreover, America's
Second Amendment rights are at risk because the ATF has not done its job
to intervene in Bloomberg's travesty of justice."

The citizen groups tell Director Sullivan that "the ball is in your
court. The ATF needs to take action to show that no one is above the
law, not even the Mayor of New York."

National groups signing the letter are American Policy Center, Center
for Financial Privacy and Human Rights, Citizen Outreach Project,
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Doctors for Open
Government, Firearm Owners Against Crime, Gun Owners of America,
KeepAndBearArms.com, Liberty Coalition.net, OpenCarry.org, Second
Amendment Foundation, and Second Amendment Sisters.

Regional groups include Allegheny County Sportsmen's League, Clarion Gun
Owners, Lehigh Valley Firearms Coalition, and Pennsylvania Rifle and
Pistol Association, all from the Keystone State,
FairfaxCountyPrivacyCouncil.org, and Virginia Citizens Defense League,
both of the Old Dominion, Grass Roots North Carolina, GeorgiaCarry.org,
I Carry Gun Owners Association (www.icarry.org) of Illinois, Kentucky
Coalition to Carry Concealed, Ohioans for Concealed Carry (OhioCCW.org),
SecondAmendmentClub.org of Land O Lakes FL, Texas Citizens Defense
League and West Virginia Citizens Defense League.
