It was aired today in the New York metro area that Mayor Bloomberg is continuing with his crusade on non-legitimate gun sales. It was reported on CBS 880 that New York City sent two investigators to Phoenix fifteen days after the Tuscon shootings to buy hand guns. The two investigators informed the seller of the guns that they would probably fail a background check for the two semi-automatic pistols. The seller was OK with their disclosure and sold the guns to the two investigators. Clearly money was more important to the seller than the safety of his fellow citizens.

The availability and access of guns today makes the Active Shooter scenario a real possibility. Although Mayor Bloomberg has made it his mission in his last administration, this issue is not going away anytime soon. Until the Federal government steps in and passes laws with real teeth in them to restrict the sale of guns to non-legitimate buyers, the Active Shooter will be a very real scenario in many educational environments.
