warpedskydiver 0 #1 July 10, 2007 this is the same anti-gun retard that cofounded the American Hunters and Shooters Association Lets see if the BATFE and/or the Attorney Generals office will take action... John Rosenthal Admits to Violating Federal Gun Law On Tuesday, July 10, 2007 John Rosenthal, of Stop Handgun Violence and American Hunters and Shooters Association, was a guest on WRKO 680 AM “Finneran’s Forum” show. Rosenthal was on the show to discuss his organization’s new political billboard slamming the National Rifle Association. During the show a reporter, Steve Bailey of the Boston Globe, explained how he and Rosenthal had attended a gun show in New Hampshire over a year ago. The trip was supposed to prove how easy it was for criminals to buy a handgun in New Hampshire. They actually found that it was not possible to do so without violating several laws. Rosenthal explained that when he tried to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, he was told he could not because he was not a resident of New Hampshire. Bailey and Rosenthal then explained how they brought a New Hampshire resident with them, supposedly a prison guard, who was able to pass the background checks and purchase the gun for them. Bailey even stated on Finneran’s show that the Boston Globe paid for the gun. When asked by the hosts of the show if he had committed a straw purchase, Rosenthal admitted that he had indeed conducted a straw purchase to prove a point. Unfortunately for Rosenthal, the point is that he and Bailey had to admit that it was illegal for him to go to New Hampshire and purchase a handgun. He also had to admit that the only way for him to obtain a handgun at the gun show was to do it illegally by conducting a federally prohibited straw purchase and thereby committing a felony. Unfortunately, the person most vocal in Massachusetts about increasing the restrictions on lawful gun ownership has himself committed a gun crime and will most likely never be prosecuted for it. This is yet another example of the great hypocrisy from the anti-civil rights elite. www.goal.org/news/rosenthalcrimine.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juanesky 0 #2 July 10, 2007 hmm, interesting that you have to break a law to prove a moot point. "According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They absolutely did commit a crime, and should be prosecuted and jailed. Hey, I have an idea: I want to show how easy it is to slip through the DUI enforcement of the police, so I'm gonna go get really drunk and then drive around on the highways to show the public how easy it is, and how we need tighter laws to fight it. By the way, if you are a gun owner DO NOT support American Hunters and Shooters Association. IT'S A FRONT FOR GUN CONTROL SUPPORTERS, masquerading as a pro-gun "sensible control" alternative to the NRA. It is not. It is a sham concocted by gun controllers.

Kennedy 0 #4 July 10, 2007 Put him on the docket right between Mayor Bloomburg's straw purchasers from Virginia and Sarah Brady for her straw purchase for her son (I think in Delaware). Funny how people who want more gun laws seem to go out and break the ones that already exist. I wonder if more laws would stop them. I know more laws won't stop the criminals. ps - add the politicians who routinely voilate concealed carry laws to the end of that docket. Boy, this is shaping up to be a busy court calendar. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #5 July 10, 2007 See, we are the unelightened ones. If they do it to prove some point it is ok, but if we do it it is a crime. Shame on us commoners. Next Sarah Brady will detonate a nuclear device on US soil to illustrate how easy they are to make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #6 July 10, 2007 Actually, I was wondering when a Brady-nut gun-controller was going to open fire on a crowded school or mall, just to show how easy it is, and how we need more laws to stop it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
