During this past spring, Bloomberg sent out some private investigators to perform some “straw purchasesâ€. Yes, straw purchases happened, but for a straw purchase to happen the buyer has to perform an illegal action whereas the person selling the firearm doesn’t necessarly have to perform an illegal action.
It seems that Bloomberg found this out and would be found guilty therefore he is now withholding evidence. Suprise, suprise. Just more media attention making people think that Bloomberg is really trying to crack down on crime.
