Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg scoffed at rural Colorado’s reaction to gun control during an interview with Rolling Stone in this month’s magazine, suggesting that only the parts of the country without even the most basic components of civilization would be opposed to more gun control.
Bloomberg was asked about the successful recall races of Democratic State Senators in response to the strict gun control legislation passed in the state.
“The NRA went after two or three state Senators in a part of Colorado where I don't think there's roads. It's as far rural as you can get,” he said.

I have to hand it to Colorado in building roads to the extremities of its topography. Where else in the US are there roads above 14,000 feet? And heavily traveled mountain passes above 10,000 feet? And roads that go straight up from there to places like Leadville. I’m not sure there are any truly rural places in Colorado when you look at the cosmopolitan populations of Aspen, Durango, Silverton, Ouray, all of which are probably served by Starbucks.
"Unmarked graves."
So according to the little fascist by logical extension, only people who live in areas were their are roads are smart enough to know guns are bad...
Hmm, good advertisement to keep the riff-raff away. Let ém all stay in NYC and DC.

I’d like to drop him half way between Dead Horse and Barrow during the spring thaw so he finds out.
The polar bears come off the ice at that time and the grizzlies are waking up hungry...
Maybe he was thinking of Pyongyang?
Nice.
Yep, nothing but unpaved dirt roads in Colorado......
He ran New York City, not New York State. Two completely separate countries for most practical purposes. The latter has few roads; the former is nothing but roads.
Ya. Probably the same attitude that NYC has about the upstaters.
