Publicity stunt by an egomaniac who can't get his own city under control...

Can a LEO travel over a thousand miles away and do uncoordinated undercover purchases of firearms in another state without breaking the law?

Where is the BATFE and local LE?

Things must be different in AZ. At gun shows in NC, I cannot recall seeing anyone selling privately owned weapons at a table. A few would be walking around with a gun or two with "for sale" signs on them, but I thought that renting a table and plunking down several weapons to sell made you a dealer, and that required an FFL or C&R, with the associated paperwork and NICS requirement?

Bloomberg (sp) is the complete narcissist. Worse yet he is the complete political
narcissist that believes he is on a holy mission to save all of us unenlightened types from oursleves.
We are just too stupid to see his magnificent genius.

From the article, apparently ATF has sent Bloomberg a letter in the past asking him not to conduct undercover purchases. Also, he asked the buyers to get Glock 9mm (19's I assume) and 33 round mags. Never let a crisis go to waste, huh?

How about getting the city for another snowstorm Mike and making sure the premadonna drivers at sanitation don't whine and bitch for having to work overtime on their six figure salary during a storm? How about that Mike?
