Tar and Feathers, Stat

Radio is reporting that NYC Mayor Bloomberg is pressuring a judge in some cases in NYC to instruct the jury to “disregard the 2nd amendment.”
Is there some particular reason the people of NY tolerate this buffoon?
UPDATE: Here are the specifics:
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has moved from outrage to atrocity, said the Second Amendment Foundation, by asking anti-gun activist federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein to ban any reference to the Second Amendment during a civil lawsuit trial beginning May 27 against Georgia gun dealer Jay Wallace, proprietor at Adventure Outdoors.
The New York Sun reported that Bloomberg’s attorneys made the request. Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, said the move clearly shows that Bloomberg has “total disregard not only for the Second Amendment, but also the First.”
Bloomberg’s attorney on this case, Eric Proshansky, has reportedly argued in a brief that “Any references to the Second Amendment or analogous state constitutional provisions are likewise irrelevant” to the upcoming trial.
How so, fellas? Because it would be crippling to your case? Last I checked, that was not a good enough reason to disallow.

So much for “support and defend”, eh?
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once. — Justice Alex Kozinski, Ninth Circuit Court
No wonder the Gummint agents are working so hard to get rid of it.
Revolution by 2025, people. Remember who said it first.
