This looks like a re-hash from 2015.

Minorities live in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. They NEED 2A. I briefly worked for a gun dealer where some of our best customers were older black men who owned homes in neighborhoods where civilization had nearly ceased to exist.

Going nowhere as a candidate, but he has a point. The general leftist reaction to an incident of gun violence is not to look at the specific factors, the specific predispositions that cause the particular problem - and they jump to a solution that infringes on the rights of those who are not part of the problem. Limited kudos to him for identifying the specific source of much of the problem, to wit - hyper-violent urban minorities.

If he keeps writing his opposition content, won’t be a lengthy campaign.

The obvious answer is to raise the soft drink tax. ../$

Bigoted birds of a feather.

“Since 2000, minorities have committed about 55% of the murders in this country while whites were responsible for about 45%.”

Napkin math says this means blacks are six times more likely to be muderers.

It is crazy to go to the Aspen airport and see all the uber-rich private jets who flew in from NYC, LA and SF.
There are probably 50-100 there at just about anytime.
All of course backing the Global Warming scam.

Weeell. It has finally come out. We’ve always known this was the real reason the radical left wanted to disarm ALL Americans.

Bloomberg was just smitten with Biden-foot-in-mouth disease.

The Aspin Institute is where all the NWO globalist meet and greet. Lil Marco was invited there not long ago.

Denying minorities their Second Amendment rights is probably the most racist of statements, simultaneously denying them liberty and pursuit of happiness (which is code word for the right to keep and enjoy property), with even the likelihood that life itself could be denied.

The Second Amendment, with its right to keep and bear arms, would appear to be reserved to the majority ethnic group only, by what Michael Bloomberg says.

You’re a smart individual, I’m sure you can figure it out if you put your mind to it.

If disparate impact data based on race can be used to take rights away from whites, why can't it be used against minorities?

Once upon a time, I recall seeing an episode of “Nightline” on ABC. The subject of the broadcast was gun violence in Philadelphi, Pennsylvania and its vicinity, Shockingly, the material was presented in a factual manner. The conclusion was that most gun violence occurred in the inner city among minority populations while suburban and rural gun owners seldom engaged in gun crimes.

It isn’t bigoted in any way because it’s based on facts. Facts that are backed up by FBI statistics.

The post immediately following yours points out the truth..

If there’s any bigotry involved it’s on your part

Why, I never knew he said that.

Well, there goes President Bloomberg.
