Bloomberg was also joined by Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), who plans to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to carry a weapon within 1,000 feet of high-level government officials.

Bloomberg and King should explain how that would have stopped the AZ shootings. They also need to explain how I should know to avoid these "high-level government officials" while carrying. Maybe we can issue them crowns to wear so we know who are members of this elite ruling class.

“Bloomberg was also joined by Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), who plans to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to carry a weapon within 1,000 feet of high-level government officials.”

Here I was thinking that the legislation was intended to encourage law-abiding lunatics to improve their rifle marksmanship.

Great

are high level govt officials gonna wear special t-shirts or something so the commoners know to stay 1000 feet away from them?

And of course this law will be honored by insane people who plan blood vendettas (sarc)

That's simple! If that law would have been in place, the nut-job would NEVER have come within 1000' of the representative, and would have probably missed her when he opened fire on the crowd from over 1000' away!

It will work just as well as those "No Concealed Carry Weapons Allowed" signs in banks. After all, no back robber would ever take a gun into a bank that has one of those signs posted!
