Didn't this information allegedly come from people who were paid to lie in order to get information? If they're willing to lie and so good at it as to be able to dupe people into saying what they want can they really be trusted?US RKBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828308103980894858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-91607934111086251322011-12-15T07:38:33.435-05:002011-12-15T07:38:33.435-05:00What I found interesting is that North Carolina wa...What I found interesting is that North Carolina was NOT on the list.

One even said "Well if you shoot someone I'll have to shoot you with my other gun."<br /><br />Then there was a run-in a friend of mine had with city cops who were "cracking down" on underage drinking. He was heading into a liquor store when a young-looking girl offered him $20 if he'd buy her some booze. So he took the money, made the purchase and went back out where the girl asked for the bottle and he asked to see her ID. She said she didn't have any and he said "Sorry, it would be illegal for me to give you this alcohol" and started to walk off, which was when the cops swooped in. Boy were *they* pissed!<br /><br />Anyway, listening to these calls made me wonder how many sellers were planning on showing up with a cop in tow to bust the illegal buyer?Bruce Kraffthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335335927366243101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-11442590857064581552011-12-14T22:25:36.336-05:002011-12-14T22:25:36.336-05:00Clearly the way to stop these illegal sales is to ...Clearly the way to stop these illegal sales is to make them more illegaler.zeeke42https://www.blogger.com/profile/13782810414231954138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-31425741712945123592011-12-14T22:22:37.844-05:002011-12-14T22:22:37.844-05:00I wonder what NYC taxpayers think about this littl...I wonder what NYC taxpayers think about <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jvE7OCbgfgSJMi4pxVbPZxHyWCnQ?docId=7ae474dc00334e3482bdecadad44ca08" rel="nofollow"><i>this</i> little tidbit</a>:<br><br><i>The $290,000 effort — the latest in a series of city-sponsored sting operations targeting out-of-state illegal gun sales — took private investigators hired by the city far beyond New York's borders.</i><br><br>290 grand, as down payment on The War on Craigslist.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-71718125573096975742011-12-14T22:21:13.659-05:002011-12-14T22:21:13.659-05:00Federal Gun Law?
