Bob Barr Sues NYC's Bloomberg Over Gun Laws

Newsmax reports:
Former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr filed a lawsuit against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday, claiming Bloomberg's attempt to crack down on gun dealers was "careless, willful and clearly illegal."

The lawsuit, filed in Cobb County Superior Court, is in response to a federal lawsuit filed by Bloomberg in May alleging that 15 firearm brokers in five states, including Georgia, were "rogue gun dealers."

Bloomberg's chief spokesman, Stu Loeser, dismissed the suit as a "public relations stunt."

Bloomberg recently went to Georgia and discussed gun control with the mayor of Atlanta, who is part of his coalition of mayors against gun violence.
Mayor Bloomberg probably doesn't realize how different the rest of America is from New York City.Guns,cars,barbecues,free parking,and Wal-Mart.
