Gun Show Undercover is not a new Dick Wolf crime procedural—it's actually NYC's report on the city's investigation into illegal gun sales. According to the city's press release, "The investigation, which covered seven gun shows in three states, proves on video how easy it is for criminals to buy firearms at gun shows. 35 of 47 gun sellers sold to people who said either they probably could not pass a background check or to apparent 'straw purchasers.'" And there are videos!
Over four months, undercover investigators went to seven gun shows in Nevada, Ohio and Tennessee for the stings. Mayor Bloomberg said, "The gun show loophole is a deadly serious problem - and this undercover operation exposes just how pervasive and serious it is. We are sending a copy of our detailed report Gun Show Undercover to every member of the United States Congress. We’ll work with Congressional leaders to pass legislation closing the gun show loophole. This is an issue that has nothing to do with the Second Amendment; it’s about keeping guns from criminals, plain and simple." In other words: Take that, NRA!
You can see more at the Gun Show Undercover website. And Bloomberg has been crusading against illegal guns for a while, to the point of one gun dealer making a Bloomberg bobblehead.

I'm sure the right wingers will hate this and find a reason to fight it.
no! not my precious guns! how am i supposed to shoot cariboo and deer.. in brooklyn...??
we are the death of each other.
Bs Propaganda, Screw you Bloomberg
Given the drug law changes that occurred today, I support a pot for guns exchange program.
Bloomberg can't do squat to shut down gun shows in other states which is where most illegal guns are acquired. All his tough laws and BS are accomplishing HERE is making sure that ONLY criminals can have guns.
great HOW TO GET A GUN WITHOUT A BACKGROUND CHECK.
thanks Gloomberg.
buying a gun without a background check doesnt mean your a criminal, it could mean you want to defend yourself against criminals who invade your home, even if you have a criminal record.
why is there so many guns in nyc, because if someone breaks into your home most people would rather be ready for that make my day moment rather than wait until their children are raped at knifepoint.
then call 911.
In NYC, it's easier to get an illegal gun than trying to obtain one legally.
One of the worst places to try to obtain a permit....
also, the Gun Show is not (ILLEGAL)and the title implies.
and the city's investigation is not investigating
illegal gun sales, its a legal sale.
its just illegal when its possesed unlicensed in nyc or sold to a crip from the trunk of the car.
this is exactly like the investigation into illegal cigarette sales.
id like 500 cartons of smokes.
but im not an indian.
i dont care, im not an indian either.
thanks.
the sale is really legal, until someone tries to RE-sell it in nyc avoiding the city and state tax.
just the rules say if
the guy states he will not pass a background check then the seller cant complete the purchase.
just like its illegal to sell a bong to someone who states that its not for tobacco. a worded impediment to the sale but no actual requirement to ask questions,
so the only reason anybody would say otherwise is because they are part of a sting and the seller is just bored or complacent or overly accomadating like the acorn morons.
When someone shoots someone, they usually know each other.
Chris Rock has it right, forget the guns, sell the bullets for $5000. each.
