BLOOMBERG OUTRAGE: ASKS JUDGE TO BAN 2ND AMENDMENT REFERENCES!
BELLEVUE, WA - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has moved from outrage to
atrocity by asking anti-gun activist federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein to ban
any reference to the Secon d Amendment during a civil lawsuit trial beginning
May 27 against Georgia gun dealer Jay Wallace, proprietor at Adventure
Outdoors.
The New York Sun reported that Bloomberg's attorneys made the request. Alan
Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, said the move clearly
shows that Bloomberg has "total disregard not only for the Second Amendment,
but also the First."
Bloomberg's attorney on this case, Eric Proshansky, has reportedly argued in a
brief that "Any references to the Second Amendment or analogous state
constitutional provisions are likewise irrelevant" to the upcoming trial.
"This trial is supposed to be held in a federal court, not a kangaroo court,"
Gottlieb stated. "What's next, a request that Judge Weinstein not allow
defense witnesses or rebuttal? Why not just dispense with the trial altogether
and lynch Mr. Wallace from the limb of a tree out in Central Par k?
"The civil prosecution, and un-civil persecution, of Jay Wallace has never
really been about the Second Amendment, until right now," he observed. "And,
thanks to Mr. Proshansky's brief, this trial is suddenly all about the First
Amendment as well.
"We are neither surprised nor shocked at Mayor Bloomberg and the city's
attorney for making this move," Gottlieb added. "This is the kind of behavior
one should expect from a billionaire demagogue who considers himself so far
above the law that he launched this vigilante campaign against firearms
retailers by stepping outside legal channels in the first place. He sent
private agents to several states without legal authority, jeopardizing
legitimate on-going criminal investigations in the process.
"Now Bloomberg wants a gag order," he concluded. "Apparently, in Mikey's
world, a fair trial is one in which a defense attorney is muzzle d, and the
defendant is already guilty until proven innocent. Bloomberg missed his
calling. Instead of being mayor of an American city, he should have been the
administrator of a gulag."
