http://gunssavelives.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/02.1n010.ToyGuns-300x300.jpgThe owner of a gift shop in New York City might be ran out of business by the vehemently anti gun government of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The shop owner was apparently unaware of the ridiculous NYC law which makes the selling of toy guns, even tiny novelty gun shaped cigarette lighters, a serious crime, punishable by massive fines that easily put small business owners out of business.
Fred Shayes, the owner of US Camera & Computer Inc. near Penn Station was hit with a $60,000 fine for selling tiny novelty lighters. Shayes immediately removed the items and even showed documentation that he was in compliance, but that didn’t matter.
The issue is that the lighters were silver and black. Even though they had an orange tip they don’t meet the city’s requirements that the entire gun must be a bright color, you know, like the Liberator, a REAL gun.

The city has a formal policy of wanting to remove any sort of toy gun from the American Culture. According to a NYC government document (http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/downloads/pdf/pr31604.pdf),



“Fake guns that look like real ones are illegal and can easily be mistaken for the real thing, possibly leading to dangerous or even fatal consequences,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “Anyone thinking of selling fake guns should take this as a clear warning: it’s time to get rid of these dangerous toys. If you attempt to sell illegal fake guns, our Administration will come after you, and use whatever resources we have under the law to punish you. While we aggressively work to prevent sales, it is also imperative parents think twice about buying them. We are working hard to make sure these fake guns stay out of kids’ hands.”
This isn’t the first time the anti gun city government has flexed its muscles on the issue. According to the NY Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/smoking_gun_nets_fine_mULOkpw09uyrCdvzFwsFqL),

Over the past seven years, city officials have seized more than 7,200 illegal toy guns from stores and levied $2.4 million in fines, officials said.
Retailer Party City paid a record $500,000 in fines for 800 violations of the city’s toy-gun law.
It’s obvious what Bloomberg’s long term plan is. He wants to create such a stigma around guns, even toy ones, that eventually future generations will be so afraid of firearms that the portion of the American public supporting gun rights will simple resolve. Maybe that will work in NYC Mr. Mayor, but don’t forget we are a large, diverse, FREE country.

Note the camera perspective - cameraman/photog musta been laying on his back. Real life example of Napoleonic Complex, considering the pose (not to mention his actions).

If somebody levied 60 k in fines against my ass

Im hold the biggest 3 -5 day liquidation sale and stuffing pockets with stone cold cash.

Then i would tell those pricks to pound sand.

60 k is more then what a shop like that would net after all expenses were paid on a yearly basis

So that is effectively a death sentence.

Bloomberg is a bolshevik Jew dictator and this is pure PC censorship and financial rape of private business. Private businesses should just shut down and tell the government to fuck off already. Enough!

I don't call that station anything other than jewmerg radio. Suits well.


but.

Here's my town. Italians, italians, italians and masons, masons. You don't make a step without italians or masons controlling everything. They have family in town government, you walk in there and see they all look alike. Their cousin is "fire marshall". their friends are alarm monitoring companies charging x3 times fees , EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS but their friends. 3 italian guys own majority of real estate. Italian realtor agency covers everthing, buying and renting , BOTH SIDES (people complained to the authorities, but they DON'T CARE). You get dumb , agressive people who want to milk your business from anything. Oh, I acutally pay business school tax, ON REVENUE (and not on profit). AND I also pay school tax from my house, I am double-school taxed. There's more and more. The only people that give these italian mafia run for their money are jews.

So, now that I'm running into things here, my experience is this: "it's NOT the jews, stupid, it is italian catholics".

And you know what? They closed 3 evening schools in my area that skimmed government money. two of the smaller ones were owned by jews. the large one was italians, they stole 50+ million dollars. and YET the largest one was aslo italians, they collected 100 million in donor and investor money, built a building, passed all scrutiny , registrations and evaluations, then comes September 1st - the doors are open and there's nothing, not even a furniture. So two biggest scams are not jewsish, italians.


All I am saying is that I think jews give italian catholics / jesuits / masons that "have it made" in this country run for their money. Good or bad - that's the struggle.
