Guns, Guns and More Guns The array of weapons was alarming. Large caliber pistols and a semi-automatic Soviet-era rifle were among the 254 firearms on display Monday as part of the largest gun seizure in New York City history. At a press conference on Monday, prosecutors issued a 264-page indictment against 19 people in two separate gun-running operations. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the investigation took off shortly after a young rapper, Matthew Best, boasted in a YouTube clip, that he was "packing more guns than the Air Force." Mr. Best was among those indicted. The guns arrived in New York, as per usual, from Southern states via the so-called "iron pipeline." Earlier this month the Mayor announced that 90 per cent of the guns used to commit crimes in New York City were purchased elsewhere - mostly in the South, in states that require almost no limits on who can buy guns and how many they can purchase at one go. With a Congress that is frightened about strengthening the gun trafficking in this country, this deadly trade will almost certainly continue. As Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan told The Daily News, gun merchants don't worry about bullets that will tear through doors or kill innocent people. "They had no concept of the violence and mayhem they were causing," she said. It was all about money.
