Yet another member of Bloomberg’s “Crime Fighting” club has been put in Peerless bracelets: Trenton mayor, others arrested in corruption probe. Also arrested were Tony Mack’s brother and his “close associate”, Joseph A. “JoJo” Giorgianni. (Why do all politicians in New Jersey seem to have conections to guys that sound like characters from The Sopranos?) Mayor Tony Mack has had a tenure in office almost as interesting as Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick–another Bloomberg Gang anti-gunner–who is on trial for his second set of corruption charges this month. (Thanks to Donald G. for the link.)

I found a source for an antique Schmidt Rubin M1896/11 rifle, but I’m still in need of some original cardboard and tin Schmidt Rubin 6-round stripper clips. I’m a cash buyer. I’m also willing to swap autographed copies of any of my books. Please e-mail me if you have some spares. Thanks.
