A follow-up: Mayor Eddie Perez (recently mentioned in the blog) was sentenced to three years in prison, and three years probation, of a possible 60 year sentence. Perez was convicted on five of six felony charges. He is one of the rogues gallery of Mayor Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns members that have been indicted or convicted of felonies including Sheila Dixon, Kwame Kilpatrick, Gary Becker, Larry Langford, Samuel Rivera, Jerramiah Healy, the late Frank Melton, Will Wynn, and David Della Donna. One can only wonder what the felony conviction rate is for members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, versus the general population. It is noteworthy that a felony conviction in the U.S. brings with it the loss of the right to own a firearm, for life. So at least these socialist mayors have been successful in getting a few guns out of the hands of criminals–themselves.
