A Bloomberg Anti-Gun Mayor Is Charged With Carrying Weapon

Submitted by Keric McKern, Nov 25, 2006 10:26

Why is it gun control politicians who break the gun control laws of their states have their felonys reduced to misdemeanors? If any regular citizen had done the same thing, you can bet their felony arrest would not have been lowered to a misdemeanor.

Why should Mayor Melton get a break? Why isn't he facing a felony conviction? Why aren't the gun control groups howling for a conviction? Hypocrisy, perhaps, when its one of their own?
