That's a block away from my apartment. Faaaantastic. I think I may have actually heard it Sunday afternoon - some shouting/screaming - but I thought it was just some kids horsing around.

I beg to disagree PGP. One thing that our Mayor did that really blew the lid off this debate was to use undercover NYPD to investigate gun dealers that sold, in statistically significant numbers, guns to straw purchasers. Technically outside of their jurisdiction, the NYPD still managed to prove that gun dealers were deliberately circumventing the law by selling to people who were with 3rd parties that were consulted during the purchase. Many of these dealers in specific States (Virgina, North Carolina and Ohio) have since settled, admitting no wrong-doing. The situation right now is basically at a stalemate. Pro-gun states are just praying that Bloomberg doesnt run for a 3rd term, while this policy has fallen short of its goal of removing illegal handguns from our young people.

A GUN IN EVERY POCKET – Probably not what the framers of the Constitution really would intend today. Emotions make this an endless debate, and solutions will be hard to come by. http://pacificgatepost.blogspot.com/2008/08/gun-debate-intent-emotions-reason.html
