Letters to the Editor

Bloomberg a threat to constitutional rights

May 17, 2008

Just recently, the Wal-Mart stores caved in to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, quite# possibly the most despicable person in America. Bloomberg is a wealthy billionaire and a self-appointed destroyer of our constitutional freedoms. That’s right, Bloomberg is doing all he can do to take away our Second Amendment rights. Yet, he sees nothing wrong with having all of his bodyguards around him all of the time.

Recently, he persuaded the Wal-Mart chain to change the way it makes its gun sales. From now on, when a customer goes to Wal-Mart to buy a gun, which will now be in Saratoga, he will be subject to an hour and a half, at the very least, of filling out forms and answering all kinds of questions. All the time, he will be videotaped, and the video will be kept on record until such time as hell freezes over. And the customer will be subject to scrutiny for any suspicious actions or facial expressions he has during the interview.
