<DIV id=headline>Gun-Ho for New York</DIV>
<DIV id=subhead>The Georgia gun dealer who was sued by the city— and fell in 
love with us</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0826,gun-ho-for-new-york,478520,1.html">In 2006, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he was filing suit against 27 
out-of-state gun dealers. He called the gun sellers a "scourge on our society," 
and claimed that they were illegally selling weapons that kept ending up on the 
streets of New York.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0826,gun-ho-for-new-york,478520,1.html">And second, even more surprisingly, by the time he decided not to show up in 
court, Wallace—a gun-loving, rock-ribbed, Second Amendment–quoting Georgian—had 
fallen in love with the city he'd vowed to fight to his "last breath."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0826,gun-ho-for-new-york,478520,1.html">
<P>And then two strange things happened.</p> <P>First, on June 2, the very morning that his case was to be heard in court, 
Wallace threw in the towel, convinced that he wouldn't get a fair trial from a 
judge he considered too biased.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DB271729-FF3E-4603-9EBE-72E229F00E0A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
