Dixon: City Could Join Gun Dealer Lawsuit
POSTED: 10:34 am EDT September 19, 2007
NEW YORK -- Baltimore could follow New York City's lead and sue gun dealers for their alleged role in the flow of illegal guns into the city.
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was in New York on Tuesday and met with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spearheaded the legal fight against 27 gun dealers on the East Coast.
Bloomberg alleges that hundreds of weapons used in crimes in New York had been purchased illegally from the dealers.
Dixon's meeting with Bloomberg came after Baltimore's deadliest weekend of the year, in which six people were killed.
Dixon said that illegal guns are being used in Baltimore's shootings, and she said she'll ask the city solicitor about possibly joining the lawsuit.
No other cities have joined New York's case.
:banghead::banghead::banghead:
First the "Gun Offender Database", then the new forms we have to fill out for handgun/"assault rifle" purchases, now THIS.
Any ideas what to do about it? I realize that we're probably not going to change her mind, but Dixon is the head of a city that is currently awash in murders. She's been taking fire for that, and maybe there's a way to point out her desperate struggle for credibility, among the compete lack of action her plans have turned out as.
