New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s latest volley in his war on gun ownership is convincing Wal-Mart that they need to film every firearm purchase. The goal, according to the mayor, is to reduce crime. But we know gun control doesn't equal crime control. And this reeks of a public relations stunt instead of a crime-fighting measure. Gun owners who buy a firearm at Wal-Mart, or any other gun store for that matter, already go through a background check before the purchase can be made. What's...(read more)

New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine, D-Hoboken, says he may sue to halt New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's plan to charge to drive in certain parts of Manhattan, The New York Post reports on its Web site tonight. Click here for the report.Bloomberg's plan, though not official, has recently gained serious support, including Gov. David Paterson, of New York.Of course, the irony of all of this is that Corzine is himself in the midst of attempting to implement an absurd toll plan of his own to close the state's budget gap. I wonder — does he realize his plan would hurt New Yorkers just as unfairly as Bloomie's plan would hurt Garden Staters?At any rate, despite the obvious hypocrisy, I am glad to hear Corz is considering trying to stop all this.
