Bloomberg Buddy Charged With Illegal Gun Carry

Because with these types, hypocrisy is a way of life:

One of the members of Mayor Bloomberg's anti-gun coalition has pleaded to charges of illegally carrying a gun into a church, onto a college campus, and into a park.

The mayor of Jackson, Miss., Frank Melton, is one of more than 100 mayors in the coalition Mr. Bloomberg and the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, created to push for stronger gun control laws.

But, last week, Mr. Melton — who according to news reports, carries firearms at all times and has a reputation for being tough on crime — pleaded no contest to carrying a concealed gun on the campus of a Mississippi College School of Law. He also pleaded guilty to carrying a gun into a church and into a park, also illegal under state law. The first was reduced from a felony charge to a misdemeanor; the latter two were misdemeanors.

Not that I think there should be a ban on carrying concealed into places like a campus or park, et al, but elected officials are no better than we are and should not be granted the "priviledge" (meaning "right" of course) of self-defense where we aren't. They must live by the same stupid laws and regulations that we are forced to.

If it was concealed, how does anyone know he was carrying?

There is more to this story...

Two words: Rosie O'Donnell. And the likes of her.

Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
