The lamestream media told you:

Reeling from wave after wave of gun crime, cities across America have filed lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the gun industry in general, to try to halt the senseless violence they initiate. These righteous lawsuits seek compensation for the acts of criminals, and are being waged by decent upstanding lawyers and smart officials across the land. Efforts to stop the criminals themselves have been hampered by the gun lobby, which seeks to arm criminals and terrorists to increase gun-industry profits, by resisting even sensible gun-control laws, according to protest signs seen at rallies.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Long criticized for using taxpayer funds to stage frivolous lawsuits against an entire industry, and blaming private businesses for the unrelated acts of desperate criminals, experts believe the recent spate of anti-rights lawsuits is actually a cover-up for the failed policies of government agencies nationwide in controlling crime and criminal perpetrators.

With the recent humiliation and resignation of New York governor Eliot Spitzer, a leading figure in the frivolous-lawsuit schemes perpetrated by anti-gun-rights politicians, the National Shooting Sports Foundation has looked into the whereabouts of others who participated in the attempt to close the gun industry through creative legal challenges.

In a shocking discovery, unreported by the same “news” organizations that loudly promoted the lawsuit attacks, a significant number of the lawsuit planners have been arrested, indicted or jailed on a wide assortment of charges. It seems these “valiant fighters for public safety” are in a thick stew of criminal activity themselves. Why this didn’t make page one like the lawsuit stories repeatedly did is unclear.

Charges against the leading figures include tax evasion, embezzlement, mail fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, torture of criminal suspects, employment scams, extortion, racketeering, wild junkets on taxpayer money, bribery, questionable land deals, illegal campaign funding, kickbacks, perjury, and of course, direct involvement in prostitution. I am not making this up.

When asked, experts said they were not surprised that people involved in complex legal schemes to remove the public’s civil right to arms, were themselves involved in dozens of crimes. Read the list and details yourself.
