Anti-gun activist makes illegal gun purchase
Boston Globe paid for out-of-state 'straw' buy
© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
An anti-gun activist admitted on a radio show yesterday he made an illegal "straw" purchase of a firearm at an out-of-state gun show with the help of a Boston Globe reporter.
John Rosenthal of Stop Handgun Violence made the admission on "Finneran's Forum" on WRKO 680 AM.
Rosenthal, who wants to see tougher restrictions on firearms purchases, said he made the purchase to make a point. However, the only way the Massachusetts resident could make the buy was by doing it in the name of a New Hampshire resident. Such "straw" purchases are already illegal.
Steve Bailey of the Boston Globe explained how he helped facilitate the purchase over a year ago.
Rosenthal said when he tried to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, he was told he could not because he was not a resident of New Hampshire. Bailey and Rosenthal then explained how they brought a New Hampshire resident with them, supposedly a prison guard, who was able to pass the background checks and purchase the gun for them. Bailey acknowledged the Globe paid the bill.
"Unfortunately, the person most vocal in Massachusetts about increasing the restrictions on lawful gun ownership has himself committed a gun crime and will most likely never be prosecuted for it," said Gun Owners Action League in a statement reacting to the disclosure. "This is yet another example of the great hypocrisy from the anti-civil rights elite."

Texas State Lawmaker Opposing Deadly Force Bill Shoots Would-Be Thief
HOUSTON — A state lawmaker who opposed a bill giving Texans stronger right to defend themselves with deadly force pulled a gun and shot a man he says was trying to steal copper wiring from a construction site, police said Monday.
Rep. Borris Miles told police he was fixing a leak on the second floor of the Houston house he's building Sunday night when he heard a noise downstairs and saw two men trying to steal the copper. After Miles confronted the pair, one of the men threw a pocketknife at him, Houston Police spokesman Victor Senties.
Miles, a former law enforcement officer, shot the man in the left leg, police said. The wounded suspect was being treated at a Houston hospital. Police were trying to identify the other suspect.
Charges of aggravated robbery are pending against the wounded suspect, Senties said.
Police said Miles, who is in his freshman term, is licensed to carry a concealed weapon. No charges have been filed against Miles, Senties said.
Miles, a Democrat, voted against a bill that gives Texans stronger legal right to defend themselves with deadly force in their homes, vehicles, and workplaces. The so-called "castle doctrine," passed by the Legislature this year, states that a person has no duty to retreat from an intruder before using deadly force. The law goes into effect Sept. 1.
