New York City's lawyers have asked a federal judge in Georgia to reconsider allowing a Georgia gun shop to sue Mayor Michael Bloomberg for defamation. Last May Bloomberg accused gun stores around the country -- including Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna – of allowing illegal gun purchases. Bloomberg is suing those stores because their guns were used in New York City crimes. The federal judge has given the go-ahead to Adventure Outdoors to sue Bloomberg. New York City's motion says public officials' speech about public issues should be immune from lawsuits.
