NRA gives Bloomberg snow blow
ALBANY -- That's cold!

The National Rifle Association opened both barrels on Mayor Bloomberg yesterday, comparing his efforts to rein in gun violence to the city's botched response to last month's blizzard.

A top official for the powerful gun-rights group told a crowd of sportsmen that Bloomberg -- whom he repeatedly derided as "Mayor Blame" -- was attempting to deflect responsibility for local gun crimes, just as he did when the city's unplowed streets left New Yorkers fuming.

"He likes to blame everyone else for violent crime in New York City," NRA political director Chuck Cunningham said. "He's also blamed Mother Nature for his recent problems with snow removal.

"He's not after illegal guns," Cunningham continued. "He's after your guns. And that's a real snow job."

Bloomberg shrugged off the flurry of attacks from the NRA, which came the same day he criticized President Obama for "(missing) an opportunity" by failing to push for renewed gun-control laws in his State of the Union speech.

2. There's a gun store near me with really good prices on ammo
as well as firearms but I left my purchase on the counter and walked out because they had a DVD of LaPierre on re-play constantly running in the corner of the showroom. After listening to the bizarre paranoia and insidious propaganda I couldn't wait to get into the shower.
