BLOOMBERG SUGGESTS BANNING YOUNG MINORITY MALES FROM GUN OWNERSHIP
Breitbart.com ^ | February 7, 2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/08/2015 10:41:56 AM PST by Reverend Saltine

Speaking to the Aspen Institute on February 6, Michael Bloomberg said cities should ban young minority males from owning guns, both as an effort to reduce crime and to keep those minority males “alive.”

Bloomberg talks to reporters after meeting with Obama and business and civic leaders for an event to discuss his "My Brother's Keeper" initiative at the White House in Washington According to The Aspen Times, Bloomberg addressed a variety of topics, and after commenting on poverty and education, he discussed guns. The Times reported that he said, “Cities need to get guns out of [the] … hands” of persons who are “male, minority, and between the ages of 15 and 25.”

He claimed that “95 percent of all murders fall into this category” and that taking guns away from them will not only reduce crime, but will “keep them alive.”

It’s the ILLEGAL weapons that have always been the problem, and new “Gun Laws” aren’t going to a damn thing to stop it.

If there is such a thing as an illegal weapon, then our second amendment is not worth the parchment it is written upon. There is lots of illegal USE of weapons, that I'll grant, but you don't disarm everyone because of the misbehavior of some.

Anyone who can not be trusted with a weapon should not be running around loose.

...please look at how socialists from Hitler to Stalin treated the the very Jews that invented Marxism/communism/socialism and helped bring it about.

Marx and company were secular. They were about as Jewish as a Klan Grand Wizard is Christian.

Didn’t stop the Europeans and soviets from singling them out for punishment as an evil strawman to shore up support.

The Jews did it?

Jews are by no means a unified political block. Virtually all of Stalin's mid and high level bureaucrats were Jewish.

He inadvertently let the truth slip out. He will be condemned for it.

MY alternative plan would be to offer to loan firearms (along with safe storage containers), as well as concealed carry licenses, to ALL adults (regardless of ethnicity) who have an established work history,at least a high school degree, and no arrests or convictions more serious than a traffic ticket who live in crime-ridden neighborhoods. Terms of the loan include attending (and successfully completing) firearms training classes, and being financially responsible for the loaned firearm, having to show the loaned firearm at required annual refresher courses.

Liberals, by their own admission have no principles, and reality itself is malleable and plastic. If I can ban a “young minority” from gun ownership can we also ban them from voting or posting on the internet?

The told me that if I voted for Romney that government would bring back Jim Crow and segregation, and they were right!

now want's to violate the fifteenth amendment rights of what he is calling "Minority Youth"

I think you mean the fourteenth amendment. Interestingly the first "gun control" laws were passed to keep firearms out of the hands of blacks who were resisting white racists.

Plus ca change.....

I meant Jewish as a people, not as a faith. Christian Europeans suffer from the same philosophical poison and grifting sociopaths. Case in point, Nancy Pelosi actually professes to be a good catholic while there are catholic bishops that do no have the same opinion.

No, Marxist Collectivists did it. And some of them were Jews.

The point is that no one is immune to doing evil because of mere race or religion. Each human being chooses for themselves, and answers to God by standing completely alone.

The Racist Roots of Gun Control.

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's “black leaders” line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

Amazing how the liars have everything upside down. Even more amazing is how the spineless, repube-licans are not out there every single day denouncing them and setting the record straight. WHY NOT?

Especially the Invisible Man, the totally spineless puss, Steve “Peace, Baby” Pearce, “representing” New Mexico in congress, WHO VOTED TO FUND OBAMACARE AND FOR AMNESTY, and etc.

Hi, Steve (puss).

You mean like on 1940-08-21, in Coyoacán, Mexico, when the USSR reached out and hit a guy, the Monroe Doctrine be damned? [A Democrat was President]
