Bloomberg and Emanuel on Taking on the NRA at Election Time
NY Observer ^ | November 23, 2009 | Azi Paybarah

Posted on 11/24/2009 8:06:50 AM PST by neverdem

Today, Michael Bloomberg's coalition against illegal guns placed a full-page ad in the Washington Post urging lawmakers to prevent suspects on a federally maintained "terror watch list" from being allowed to purchase guns.

"500 mayors agree with the Obama and Bush Administrations: stop terror suspects from getting guns," the ad says.

It's also been an issue that Rahm Emanuel voiced support for back in 2007, according to this video clip.

"We got to make this a number one issue, as a test vote, and take it into the election." He added, "If it's between that terrorist list and the NRA, I know where America is going to be every time."

Bloomberg said closing this loophole was his "number one priority." He also offered the following description of why gun control critics have been so successful in blocking this kind of restriction: "There's extremists in the pro-gun movement who threaten our elected representatives around the country, whether they're in the legislature or executive side with working to get them removed, to remove them from office if they don't support the line that the extremists want: no reasonable restrictions, no enforcement of federal laws, elimination of federal laws. And we've just got to say 'we're not going to take it anymore.'"

A one minute, four second video of Rahm Emanuel speaking for the anti "due process" terrorist watch list and against the NRA is at the source.

Deny Americans their Constitutional rights, but give terrorists like KSM Constitutional rights that they don't deserve. Yeah Rahm, that's the ticket!

Being suspected of anything is not a conviction, nor a violation of the law. These people would deny due process and spit on the Constitution.

I spit on them for being UnAmerican.

This is only the first step. The next step will be to put 2nd Ammendment Supporters, Military Veterans, Conservatives, etc. onto the terrorist watch list.

Hell, Lesbo Janet and DHS has called us that already!!

Of course the left wing are afraid of armed Americans because we stand in their way of implementing tyranny and Marxist political ideology.

That is the intent and purpose of the 2nd Amendment Bloombug.

I hate commies.

So do I. America is going to keep their damned guns, Rahm! Especially since you and Obama think it's perfectly fine to bring freaking murdering terrorists to NY for a public trial! You lose, bucko! America wins when it keeps it weapons.

Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.

Well, since they’re probably counting the mayors of cities like Wide Spot, AR, and since there are 18,000 cities and towns in the US, saying 500 mayors favor this is like saying 17,500 oppose it. Someone on the RIGHT side of this issue should buy an ad saying THAT.

That law would hopefully get tossed out of court faster than Bacrock Obama says uhhhhhhhhhh.

There's no appeal. There's no reason given why someone is on the list. There's no convictions or trial to determine who is a so-called terrorist.

Both difficult AND dangerous to enslave an armed people, isn’t it Bloomberg! Yep, gotta confiscate everyone’s guns. THEN the left can do whatever it wishes. And all NRA members, hunters and CONSERVATIVES will immediately be declared TERRORISTS, won’t they! Not Islamic killers. Just conservatives.

If 500 mayors agreed that enslaving blacks was ok, does that make it ok?

No. It is still wrong. And so is infringing on our other God given rights.

This seems to be their perferred response to an attack (unless it's against them, of course), IT IS NOT MINE.

Socialism,Fascism,Communism no real difference in the end socialism is but a stepping stone to one or the other the immediate difference being whether one goes willingly or at gunpoint.

Socialism, Fascism, Communism.........no real difference, except whether one goes willingly or at gunpoint.

KEEP IN MIND Candidate Obama campaigned on installing a “Civilian Security Force” on US soil. We can safely assume that means the Security Force has guns.......and makes sure the citizenry does not.

Rahm Emanuel surely got his top White House job as Obama’s COS, based on his training on how to organize a “Civilian Security Force” when Rahm voluntered for the Israeli military.

Rham trained as a volunteer for “Sar’el”—— the three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program to train civilians.

Circa 1991 Rahm Emmanuel volunteered in a program for civilian service in the IDF, and worked on brake components for APC’s and tanks in an IDF military motor pool.

Rahm is lacking part of a finger and for many years went around claiming that he’d lost it in actions against the enemy when he was in a tank (a tank is a BIG gun).

Course if Rahm fought in the military of foreign government, that would negate his American citizenship (US citizens forfeit their citizenship when they serve in the military of a foreign government).

Rahm volunteered for “Sar’el”——a three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program (like US boot camp) where civilians are trained to assist the Israeli military (military are people who use guns).

Rahm lived on an IDF military base---with people who had guns---to get the proper training. A civilian volunteer, Rahm assisted the IDF during the 1991 Gulf War in one of Israel’s northern military bases.

Rahm was following in the footsteps of his Dad. His father was an Israeli who was part of the underground resistance movement under the British Mandate............and they didn't resist using popsicle sticks.

Four million angry gun-owners say “BACK OFF!”

Let'em try, Liz.
They've alienated everyone else, so WTH.
Why not. LOL

Can always use more on our side, assuming there's still a few leftist gun owners/lovers/users out there who missed the memo. ;^)
