Bloomberg Blasts "Deafening Silence" On Guns From Obama And Romney
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ ^ | August 6, 2012 | Kevin Liptak

Posted on 08/06/2012 5:05:52 PM PDT by Biggirl

(CNN) – New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg bemoaned Monday what he called a "deafening silence" on gun control from the two presidential candidates after a pair of high-profile shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin killed a combined 18 people.

Long an outspoken advocate for tighter restrictions on guns, Bloomberg originally called on President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney to lay out their respective plans on stemming gun violence after 12 people were shot at a movie theater outside Denver on July 20.

Bloomberg is just like a broken record, or if you want to go to the 21st century, broken mp3.

If effeminate Bloomers is so tired of the “deafening silence”, I would suggest that he go to the local gun range and listen to the sound of freedom for a while. The Nazi SOB.

Will Bloomberg order his bodyguard to disarm?

I forgot, Bloomberg’s life is essential to the progress of the nation’s welfare and ours is expendable.

What an intrinsic a-hole.

Bloomburg should visit just about any Black neighborhood at just about any hour of the day. He most certainly wouldn’t hear any “deafening silence”. The city near me has nightly shootings, all Black on Black. However, this ongoing war, which regularly includes injury or death to innocent bystanders and children, is never classified as “gun violence” in the media.

Bloomers-in-a-Bunch, along with his wannabe Socialist cohorts need to pull their heads out of their holes and stop harrassing law-abiding, freedom-loving people with their nonsense.

Obama will do everything in his power to bring on more gun control during his second term. God help us if he wins and picks up Democrat majorities in 2014. He will Fast and Furious us in a heartbeat.

Romney has nothing to gain politically by pushing more gun control, and he can lose a lot. As much as he might want to play with Nanny Bloomberg, he won’t.

Neither of these guys wants to deal with this during the election.

Yes he is another one who I ask with my best voice to STFU.
Why doesn’t he just go away and spend his billions instead of trying to micro manage everything I can’t stand it.

Bloomberg is a good example as to why all elected officials should be subject to term-limits.
During his first two terms he successfully tackled several serious problems:
1) The City's recovery from 911
2) He got control of the City's budget without excessive taxes and did not cave to the unions.
3) He continued Mayor Guiliani’s successes with the police department of lowering crime.
4) He took control of the school system and the teacher's union resulting in a dramatic improvement in the quality of the schools.

Then he ran for a third term and became a social engineer.
had he retired instead he would have been a potential presidential candidate, instead he is seen as one who pushes for intrusive big government.
He ruined his legacy.

Let me tell you about "deafening silence":

The turd is always screaming and banning what he thinks is bad for everyone, making insurance go up and causing a strain on NYC hospitals. Sugar....salt....soft drinks...etc.

When is this POS going to go to the public podium and demand the gays stop "doing each other" and the junkies stop doing drugs while sharing needles....both of which are major factors on spreading AIDS. Most of those AIDS patients cannot afford HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR for treatment. (That is not my rant...google the cost ! ! !) Therefore, the tax payer funded city hospitals have to treat them for free. Or, they go on Medicaid and the taxpayer still pays.

We will never hear that from the mayor, who feels he has been trained as a medical doctor, dentist, clinical shrink and dietitian.

Yeppers.....overweight people are evil, but AIDS is good.

The fact is, enough people in government know better than to try anything quite that stupid.

There’s approximately 60 million gun owners in America. Even 1% deciding it’s “use them or lose them” and going “Molon Labe” becomes very unmanageable very quickly.

It’s the one issue where that’s a serious threat. I think they know it, and won’t go there. But we need to be vigilant anyway.

King Bloomberg, like all NYC Mayors, has an armed detail of NYPD protecting his demented hide, but doesn't want the common man to protect himself in the same fashion.

The degenerates who are running for POTUS are all in for Bloomberg, but are still pretending that they support the 2nd.

Meanwhile, alarmed by the out of control gun violence in NYC, Bloomberg has unleashed the NYPD to do what Giuliani instituted, taking down criminals who are packing, and take away their guns.

New Yorkers have elected this fool 3 times, and reap what they have sown.

Bloomberg can’t keep NYC’s streets snow-plowed but he’s determined to “stem (national) gun violence”.
He’s sounding like Barry Hussein who spoke four years ago of lowering the ocean levels and reducing the temperature of the Earth. (Parting the Red Sea—already done.)
I’m guessing Bloomberg will speak at the GOP-e convention, along with McCain and every other Republican gasbag.

I always what to know who the liberals think are going to take the guns back? Who, US Military, LEO, UN forces? Who? And would they support American militarty,LEO and UN forces killing Americans not giving up their guns? Ask a gun grabber next time you have a discussion with them. The answer will suprise you.

It’s far past time for Bloomberg to be unelected.

Seriously.
