NYC To Justice Department: WE WON'T STOP THE ILLEGAL GUN STINGS

"Despite a stern warning from the Justice Department, the city plans to move forward with more sting operations against illegal gun dealers, a top city official said yesterday.

John Feinblatt, the city's criminal justice coordinator, said a half-dozen other cities are also exploring the possibility of doing similar stings.

"There will be more actions against dealers," Feinblatt said. "That's the way we've driven crime down - by taking an aggressive approach. We're not going to stop."

Last year, the Bloomberg administration filed a lawsuit against 27 out-of-state gun dealers, accusing them of illegally selling guns. Twelve of those dealers have settled with the city.

As the Daily News exclusively reported in February, the Justice Department warned the Bloomberg administration in a letter that it could face "potential legal liabilities" if it continues to conduct sting operations that fall within the jurisdiction of federal agents.

Asked to comment on the city's intentions, a Justice Department spokesman referred The News to the letter it sent the city.

The letter scolded City Hall for engaging in sting operations that could "unintentionally interrupt or jeopardize" criminal probes."

Virginia Governor Tim Kaine has said that HE will no longer tolerate seedy private investigators sent by NYC to entrap gun dealers, but since this is a political move the apple and it's resident worm will flaunt the laws of the land as well as another state to do what liberals do. Use one tragedy or another to further an agenda. Virginia's Attorney General Bob McDonald said as much to the loons by the following:

"'(Our) new state law makes undercover gun purchases by non-law enforcement entities a felony.' McDonnell said the law 'strikes the proper balance between ensuring effective law enforcement and protecting the rights of law abiding firearms dealers' and the Second Amendment rights of Virginians.

'Law abiding Virginia gun dealers certainly do not deserve to be targeted by private agents intentionally misleading them as to their intentions and motives," said Tucker Martin, a spokesman for McDonnell's office. 'This is a courtesy to the mayor. Prior actions of his are now felony offenses in the commonwealth and he knows this.'"

Since there's already one pretty important law, this thing we call the 2nd Amendment, that Bloomberg and his adoring cronies flaunt with impunity, don't for a moment think that any of them will pay the slightest bit of attention to either the federal government or some nobody little state like Virginia. To keep the trains running on time, more transit workers are electrocuted each year than members of law enforcement who die in the line of duty, so don't believe that Bloomberg's attack on guns has anything to do with the preservation of human life. A disproportionate amount of minorities are sent to prison because they steal then use guns, and this can not be tolerated.
