20. What crap is that?

They need to lock this crap down

and fire the DA before anyone starts getting ideas. How long before all the yahoo gun-freaks start flaunting every law on the books?

Ideas like what? The notion that two extra rounds in a magazine doesn't rise to the level of "worth the DA's time" when there are plenty of actual dangerous crimes that may require his attention?

Perhaps you mean "flouting every law on the books." And you can be sure that there are plenty of gun laws that this or any New York DA would have prosecuted: felon in possession, for example, or unregistered handgun. You know -- things that might actually keep the public safer instead of the Mickey-Mouse "nine rounds instead of seven" charge.

How about a DA with the guts to stand up top the NRA and its criminal constituency?

Isn't it funny how some so-called progressives go all law-and-ordery when it comes to guns?
