Stop Gun Phobia in NYC NOW!

New York City hates guns! Last week there was a shooting in the Village in which two UNarmed auxiliary officers were murdered in cold blood. And of course the incessant media coverage over the Sean Bell incident back in November where police officers killed a man when they felt threatened that he had a gun. Three of the five officers were indicted in this incident. Michael Bloomberg and Ray Kelly should be ashamed of themselves. These cops have miliseconds to react to a dangerous situation and their reward for doing their job is an indictment. Bloomberg has turned NYC into a gun phobic city. The police officers thought Bell had a gun and he was not being cooperative, so they shot him, end of story. Bloomberg and Kelly should have backed these men and not convict them in the media the day after the shooting. Bloomberg, do I need to remind you what happened the last time guns were taken out if the hands of the people, something called the Holocaust. Jews should be the biggest supporters of the NRA and they are not.

NYC keeps enacting tougher and tougher gun control laws and gun related crimes are on the rise in NYC. In 2005, Gov. Bush of Florida signed into law the "stand your ground law" this allows citizens to use force when threatened anywhere on anyone. Since this law took effect gun related crimes in FL have been on a decline. If someone walks into a restaurant and starts shooting, you can bet most of the patrons in the restaurant will shoot the gunman and continue their meal. Not so in NYC. Last week when a gunman walked into De Marcos in the village and killed an employee, no one shot back. It was left to the unarmed officers to give their lives in pursuit of this murderer. These men could still be alive today if NYC didn't have their ridiculous gun laws. Imagine, if even half the patrons in the restaurant had guns and confronted the gunman, we would probably have a happier ending. Bloomberg has instilled such a fear of guns in the population that people think guns are our enemy. I have seen commercials where the person is stating "make sure your child doesn't play in a house where there is a gun." These ads add to the fear of guns. The bad people will always find a way to get guns, we need to put the guns back in the hands of the good people so the good guns on the streets can outnumber the bad ones on the streets. God bless the two officers, may their deaths not be in vain. Bloomberg, change the gun laws NOW!
