For all Michael Bloomberg's talk about simply wanting to secure expanded background checks, his newest gun control group "Everytown for Gun Safety" is on a broader mission to take away the guns women in abusive homes could use for self defense.
In an April 16th tweet posted at 6:42 a.m, Everytown came out against guns in homes where someone is abusive. They did so without recognizing that the gun may be the only thing that gives the victim of abuse a fighting chance of survival.
The tweet said: "The presence of a gun makes it five times more likely domestic violence will turn into murder." The bottom of the tweet is captioned: "Support policies that keep guns out of the hands of abusers."...

1 of my sisters protected herself from her SOB ex with a gun. He took the gun later. Then a while later after that, he was attacking her again and she cut him with a kitchen knife. Although it stopped him, it would have been better to have done it with a gun permanently. The dude is a menace to society.
What this country really needs is a law prohibiting New Yawk mayors and former New Yawk mayors from owning a firearm. Those bass turds are all nuts.

I feel sorry for true conservatives that live in a place like New York or Maryland or any other state that is hostile to the Second Amendment.
God bless your sister.
Blooming Idiot berg would have told her that she doesn’t need a gun or a knife. Why - simply get a restraining order against the man, and if he shows up, why call the police.
...AND prohibiting them from hiring security.
That’s a mistake on Bloomburg’s (sp?) part. There’s already the Lautenburg (sp?) Amendment against anyone with a restraining order in danger of federal prison for possessing firearms or ammunition. Outlawing firearms for everyone in their houses will actually work to encourage many families toward more loyal behaviors toward their family members—many of the sober, straight and non-promiscuous ones at least.
[Don’t correct the misspelled names. They’re fine the way they are. ;-) ]
He must be a woman hater who fears one with a gun. In my state, it is common for a woman to defend herself from intruders.
I think it is time for Bloomberg to go somewhere and Keep Quiet. He’s becoming a massive nuisance...
Also cutting them off from police and hired body guards.
I can’t understand why the whole US public doesn’t just collectively tell this little Nazi to STFU. When I first read he was passing laws to tell New Yorkers what size sodas they could drink, I laughed at the cowardice of a whole city.
This is weird.
I once had the duty of going to domestic violence calls, BTW. Went to many. Most of them were drunks and/or drug addicts (initiators about half and half between men and women). Many of the others were spouses who’d been unfaithful and were falsely accusing their spouses to get them out of the way and get advantages in child custody disputes (no injuries in those—only allegations). On the Lautenberg Amendment and the VAWA, those were passed by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
Truth is ugly, isn’t it.
Bastard. These bastards would rather have women killed than give them the right to defend themselves.
Thanks. Quite honestly, the man terrorized her away from the family for many years. She has been diagnosed with PTSD. After only hearing some of the stories, I can see why. If I ever see him or hear about anything he does, it will not end well for him.
Bloominga$$ is the same person that wanted to make some law about breast feeding and disallowing baby bottles. What is his PROBLEM with women anyway?
Perhaps Bloomberg is following in the footsteps of his distant predecessor “Mad” Tim Sullivan, and is slowly going mad. Now if he would only step in front of a train.
And the war on women by the left continues unabated.
Nicole Brown Simpson would fully agree with this idea...
...if she hadn’t had her throat slashed from ear to ear. Thank goodness there wasn’t a gun around - things could have turned ugly.
