From CCRKBA:
NEWS RELEASE
CCRKBA BLASTS NYC MAYOR, SURGEON FOR 'DANCING IN BLOOD' OF FALLEN HERO
BELLEVUE, WA - The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear
Arms (CCRKBA) today condemned New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and
Dr. Robert Kurtz, director of service for Trauma and Surgical Care at
Kings County Hospital for attempting to capitalize on the slaying of a
highly decorated New York police officer to push their anti-gun
political agenda.
Officer Dillon Stewart was fatally shot Monday morning, and almost
immediately following his tragic death, Mayor Bloomberg and Dr. Kurtz
made statements blaming the availability of firearms, instead of the
criminal actions of the suspect, now in police custody.
"New York City has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, where
honest citizens find it incredibly difficult to purchase and own
firearms," said CCRKBA Executive Director Joe Waldron. "New York's
complaints about gun trafficking from other states led to
one-gun-a-month laws in those states, yet the mayor still contends that
there are too many guns. Maybe if it were easier for law-abiding
citizens in New York to own and carry firearms for their personal
protection, criminals might find New York City to be an environment they
want to avoid altogether.
"Instead of verbally dancing in the blood of a slain police officer to
push their political philosophy, anti-gunners like Bloomberg and Kurtz
should be devoting their attention to ridding the streets of criminals,"
Waldron said. "One more gun law is not going to eliminate homicides in
New York, or anywhere else."
Dr. Kurtz complained that "this country and this city are awash with
guns," while Mayor Bloomberg lamented that "Sadly, we live in a world
with too many guns."
"What's even sadder is that we live in a world with too many politicians
like Bloomberg, who are quick to blame inanimate objects for the acts of
criminals," Waldron said. "Adding more restrictions that will only make
it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to own and purchase firearms
has never prevented a single crime, and never will. The proof is in Dr.
Kurtz' own words. If restrictive gun laws worked, New York would be
crime free, and good men like Dillon Stewart would not be murdered while
doing their jobs."
