New York City) The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit accusing the gun industry of selling firearms with the knowledge that they could be diverted to illegal markets. New York lawyers cited a violation to a state nuisance law which makes it a crime to knowingly create a condition which endangers people.

The lawsuit asked for no monetary damages. It had sought a court order for gun makers to more closely monitor those dealers who frequently sell guns later used to commit crimes.

"I am disappointed in the court's decision," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "Regardless of this ruling, we will continue our fight against illegal guns full bore--in the courtrooms, on the streets and in the Congress."

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act enacted in 2005 by President Bush protects gun makers from lawsuits by crime victims and liberal city politicians. The court ruled that the New York nuisance law doesn't override the federal law.

Meanwhile, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has once again revealed himself as a leftist politician, despite the fact that he's a registered Republican. I'd call him a devout gun-control liberal.

Interestingly, a rumor is currently being floated that Bloomberg is on the short-list of potential running mates for Barack Obama. Given Bloomberg's leftist viscera, it makes sense.

Hope the citizens of NY are glad to see how their tax dollars are being spent. WIn or lose, the city lawyers still got paid.

Hey, Mass is no leader in gun rights, but at least its hypothetically possible to get a LTC...try to get one in NYC without being a cop.
