<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://serfcity.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/137.jpg"></a>Despite the occasional cloudbursts, <a href="http://www.nycpride.org/pridefest.html" target="_blank">PrideFest 2008</a> was a rousing success. The Manhattan Libertarian Party was out in force, giving away 1,000 free condoms as part of our Operation Politically Homeless.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" width="434" src="http://www.lauerweaponry.com/images/CPR27.jpg" height="137" /> </p>
<p>Tired of drab gunmetal blue and black dominating your arsenal? Do a fashion makeover on your weaponry with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lauerweaponry.com/duracoatcolors.cfm?colortype=bloomberg&#38;Category=245">The Bloomberg Collection</a> of designer gun paints and camouflage.</p>
<p>Wisconsin-based Lauer Custom Weaponry is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2008/03/21/2008-03-21_gun_paint_company_taunts_mayor_bloomberg.html">honoring our hoplophobic mayor</a> with a line of brightly colored paints for each of the 5 boroughs -- Manhattan red, Bronx rose, Brooklyn blue, Queens green, and Staten Island orange. They even include a stencil of Mayor Mike's face for the barrel of the gun.</p>
<p>If urban camouflage is more your taste, Lauer also offers the Bloomberg Collection EZ Camo Kit with a brick-wall-and-graffiti motif for only $129.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, our ingrateful mayor doesn't appreciate the tribute. "By coloring these guns, a real one looks like a toy, and a police officer won't be able to tell the difference," the mayor huffed.</p>
<p>That's the same excuse Bloomberg and his nanny-state allies used in 2003, when they tried to ban all toy guns from New York City -- until the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/002/188aqazu.asp">Manhattan Libertarian Party rode to the rescue</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, it's a total urban myth that cops are shooting innocent kids because they mistake toy guns for real ones. There's been exactly one documented incident in NYC since 1994 of a truly innocent child playing with a toy gun and mistakenly being shot. That was in the case of a deaf child playing in a darkened hallway who couldn't hear the police order him to drop the weapon. The other "children being shot while playing with a toy gun" are inevitably gang-bangers using a fake gun to commit a real robbery.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the police do sometimes mistake a wallet or a cellphone for a gun, with deadly consequences, but so far they haven't called for a ban on wallets and cellphones.</p>
<p>As of 2006, anyone who uses, buys or sells a gun-coloration kit in New York faces a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.</p>
<p>Here's a modest proposal: How about the police refrain from shooting their own guns until they have positively identified a lethal threat? And by threat I don't mean the mere presence of something that may or may not be a gun. Like say, oh I don't know, a gun barrel pointed at person, the suspect refusing an order to drop the weapon pointed at a person, or bullets emerging from the barrel.</p>
