Superman


Bravo, Mayor Bloomberg. Bravo.

We may not always agree on everything but your expression in this photo speaks volumes to the nature of your character.

Continue to use your power for good. I thank you very deeply for this proposal.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sensible Gun Legislation. Sensible Gun Legislation. Shout it from the rooftops people!


MAYOR FINDS NEW TARGETS IN GUN FIGHT
by Bryan Virasami
Special to amNewYork

Three weeks after he sued out-of-town gun shops over unlawful sales, Mayor Bloomberg ramped up his war on illegal guns yesterday with a package of legislation aimed at local gun dealers and criminals--and at paint used on weapons.
One bill would force those convicted of third-degree gun possession to register their present addresses with police for four years. The mayor noted that about 800 people are convicted on gun charges every year, and many commit other crimes.
The new strategy to fight illegal guns also includes bills that would ban the possession and use of coloration kits used to change the colors of real guns to look like fluorescent-hued toy guns.
He warned that refinishing can be a problem for cops in a tense situation and for innocent people who, for example, may think a real gun is fake and refuse to comply with a criminal's demands.
The bill, drafted with the City Council, would ban the use and sale of gun coloration kits available for sale on the Internet or from gun dealers.
