Presidential non-candidate Fred Thompson has finally turned on the city that made him rich and famous. The Law & Order star, who spent years pretending to fight violent crime as district attorney Arthur Branch, lashed out at the Big Apple today in a blog post that decries efforts by Giuliani and Bloomberg to crack down on gun trafficking. He called the moves, wherein the city sought to sue some weapon providers whose wares ended up being used in crimes, an "attack by New York City on the Second Amendment." "In this case," he says, "we need Federalism to protect states from a big bully in New York City." A bully! Well, we never. We don't know anything about guns, and frankly, we like it that way. But by golly we know a slap in the face when we see one!
