Don’t mistake this tyranny for some sort of “moderation” or “compromise”: Deal on gun background checks hinges on tracking sales.

A verdict in former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s latest corruption trial will likely be announced this week. Detroit’s Dapper Dresser may be in for a long stretch in Federal Correctional Institution, Milan, Michigan. Kilpatrick is of course just one of many in Mayor Bloomberg’s “crime fighting” cohort who has ended up in prison. Perhaps they should start an elite inner circle group, within Mayors Against Illegal Guns. They could call themselves: “Convicted Former Mayors Who Can No Longer Legally Own Guns with the Temerity to Demand Disarmament to the Law Abiding”, or perhaps more succinctly: “Crime Expert-Crime Fighters”. Or they could call it The World Crime League, but that name has already been taken.
