why was he even released in north carolina after shooting the first victim ? because its a red state and you can purchase a gun at any local pawn shop its easier to buy guns than it is to vote in the south, most guns transported here in the north illegally come outta the red states that strongly support the so called constitututional right to bear arms so long as you’re a wasp .. you break the law you go to jail like everyone else .. no ifs ands or buts .. dont matter what your intentions were or were not

Mayor Bloomberg doe’s not say anything about the ATF Fast and Furios scandle. The guns are not the problem. It’s the judges that let the criminals have bail that should not. Bloomberg has someone protecting him all the time. The rest of us have to fend for ourselfs. So stop complaining. And walk in our shoe’s

Why not just require EVERY ADULT to pack a gun. Wear it like Jessie James. Sure I know you say crime would rise. Maybe at first but after all these no good thugs realize everyone else has a gun and are more than willing to cap them to save their life and property, I imagine crime will come to a stand still for the most part.

Look the bad guys are always going to have guns. Just like drugs they will be smuggled in from out of the country.

So lets stop whining like an idiot and pass an everyone must carry law!!

So the guy has a warrent from N.Carolina for a shooting and this judge lets him go? WTF.

Bloomberg has often attacked President Obama and Congress for not doing enough to stop the flow of illegal guns. It’s not going to happen Mike, too many gun lobbyists out there and there billions in sales out do your billions.

“…there are a lot of bad guys that go through the criminal justice system and it’s impossible to tell which bad guys are gonna do really bad things.”

Here’s an early prognosticator: a ‘bad guy’ is a ‘bad guy’ is a ‘bad guy.’

Shakespeare knew, 400 years ago, back in 1597. “A rose by any other name not smell as sweet.”

The judge who released this jerk needs to be disbarred and taken off the bench. The last thing NY needs is some idiotic judge who thinks its perfectly fine to release a known violent felon who is also a fugitive. Was this woman drunk or something? I hope the cops family sues the judge personally and sues NYS supreme court to have her removed..

Spoken like a True Toothless Guido, go back to drinking your Grappa!

No way of predicting the perp’s future? What about based on his past?

Why is it that the liberals always get blamed for gun problems??? Check you history, Dems don’t do gun legislation, it has ALWAYS been republicnas who make those rules.

There is a simple answer to all the liberal nonsense-move out of NYC. I did and I have my new shiny pistol right by my bedside in sunny Florida! Break-ins in my neighborhood-zero.

There goes Bloomberg again on his rant about guns. Like most stupid liberal politicians, he and his ilk simply refuse to face reality. It’s not the GUN you stupid moron, it’s the criminal your judge let out on bail the last time he was arrested for a serious felony! If this animal didn’t have a gun, he’d use a knife, or a rock or a sharp stick to commit his crimes. Stop appointing liberal bleeding heart judges to the bench and start enforcing the laws that already exist on the books!

hi just registered ,, tina

The mayor should be ashamed of himself for using the death of this fine officer to further his propaganda that deflects blame from his failed policies. This officer died because the crimminal who shot him should have been in jail.

Slotnick told CBS 2’s Dennis. “You know there are a lot of bad guys that go through the criminal justice system and it’s impossible to tell which bad guys are gonna do really bad things.”

IF THE IDIOT WOULD HAVE SAID WE DON’T KNOW WHEN GOOD GUYS WILL DO SOMETHING BAD I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. TO SAY IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHICH BAD GUY IS GOING TO DO BAD THINGS IS SO STUPID. ISN’T THAT THE REASON WHY YOU CALL A BAD GUY A BAD GUY?

Andy Wilkins You’re a f*uckin ass hole> We’re you born stupid or did that happen recently??

I know, have Peebo turn the problem over to Eric Holder. He’s an expert on illegal weapons.

NRA members and Republicans alike should realize that the right to bear arms in the Consitution was written 200 years ago, when you really needed to protect yourself! When most guns are shot now because of suicide or criminal activity, it is stupid and unreasonable to hold onto the notion that gun-holders are protecting themselves. Sure – go shoot a deer in the woods every so often using an old school rifle, but you have no right to carry a handgun that can so easily take someone’s life.

what is done about 7 million mooslime terrorists living in usa?

The New York City Police Department lost a wonderful Police Officer. The Community where he lived lost a true friend and his family lost a GEM. The Mayor has a good point—That being that the illegal–I repeat the ILLEGAL guns must be kept off the streets and these Liberal Judges should be disbarred. With that said, why can’t the law abiding citizen who has a permit in the State of New York carry there weapon in the City of New York. The State should override the city’s rules. I say this, that these punts who have illegal weapons would think twice before robbing someone. Shoot a couple of these punts in the nuts and see your crime go down. Bloomy, go after the illegals and let we the law abiding people alone. I have a permit and have every right to carry it in the City of New York.

Having the Mayor’s staff buy a gun off of craigslist just committed a crime. Was the seller arrested? Maybe those are things that need to be done by law enforcement. Changing gun laws will not do anything but put more restrictions on law abiding citizens.

The mayor needs to remember why the constitution writers included the 2nd amendment. Thomas Jefferson wrote (in the Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334):

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”

Now go back to making yourself and your friends rich raping NYC and the middle class Mayor Mike

First off, my condolences to the officers family.

This joke of a mayor continually cries doom & gloom about guns, but his agenda is simple – he wants all guns illegal. They quote 400,000 people were killed with “illegal” guns. This may be the total deaths by guns, but I assure you they were not all “ILLEGAL”. Also, most gun related deaths are suicides. look it up on Wikipedia. Of course that doesn’t play into the sensationalism that the anti-gun lobby is trying to spread.

When they say idiotic things like “an illegal Ruger P95″, it makes them look like total fools. A particular gun may be illegal in a communist city (Like NY), but the gun is not illegal to buy in 99.999% of the world where guns are sold.

In every city that has restricted gun ownership (Chicago, NY, etc), crime is higher than where gun ownership is not infringed upon.

The mayor needs to remember why the constitution writers included the 2nd amendment. Thomas Jefferson wrote (in the Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334):

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”

By now I’m sure the liberals are throwing their hands in the air screaming about how the 2nd amendment is only for “militias” and it doesn’t apply to individuals.

Here is exactly what the founding fathers meant:

That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms…

– Samuel Adams, in “Phila. Independent Gazetteer”, August 20, 1789

Direct your rant to the NRA, The Republicans, The Tea Party. These are the organizations that promote GUNS for protections until they fall into the wrong hands that is. Condolences to the recent fallen officer and past ones too, but there are too many factors as to why guns are on the streets of America for you to blame the federal government. Start with your state and see if you can remove guns there…oh you’re just the Mayor…start with your city first.
