Baron Harkonnen…err…Mayor Bloomberg afraid of Old Betsy

It seems that Baron Bloomberg, Lord High Mayor of New York City is absolutely terrified of anything that goes BANG in the night, daytime or anytime.

It’s well known that Bloomberg despises the private ownership of firearms and wants BATF storm troopers to kick in doors and take all those evil guns away from those dirty Repulithugs. In what passes for his mind, The Napoleon of New York thinks only the government shall be armed.

In the past. Baroness Bloomers has sent “investigators” out to gun shops in the south to “Catch them” making illegal gun sales.

So, what is the latest in firearms technology that has Mayor Bloomberg wetting himself? Why it’s a replica of a Revolutionary War Flintlock! Yes, this weapon is so deadly that British Redcoats lived in terror of it.

With it’s high rate of fire of up to 3 shots per minute, (In trained and experienced hands), it’s incredible accuracy typical of smoothbores, (If you hit the side of a barn at 50 yards, it’s a miracle), and it’s ease of concealment, (It’s over 4 feet long), this is a weapon that must be banned asap!

Now what brought all this on? Well it seems that New York City, which has gun laws rivaling those of the old Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, (You can’t have one unless you are a criminal or part of the ruling elite), it seems there’s this little loophole.

You can have a gun if it’s classified as an antique and it can only be loaded with separate powder and bullet. In other words, nothing more modern then an old cap and ball gun made around the time of the Civil War.

Well, it seems someone decided he liked the look of the old muzzle loader and bought a replica. Baroness Bloomers found out about it and sicced the cops on this guy. Old

The Patriot, Michael Littlejohn of Brooklyn, fired the first shot when he had a gunsmith in Tennessee build him a replica. The gun arrived followed by Baroness Bloomers storm troopers. For all the details of the story, head on over to the Daily News and read the latest in the Second Battle of Brooklyn Heights.
