WASHINGTON — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg slammed pro-gun advocates while encouraging America’s other mayors to pressure Congress to pass President Barack Obama’s gun-control proposals, during a lunch gathering of the U.S. Conference of Mayors on Friday.
“Most people I know don’t even have a gun,” Bloomberg said, claiming America is “the only industrialized country in the world” that has a gun “problem” where there are more guns than people.
Bloomberg spoke highly of the proposals Obama laid out Wednesday and called the current enforcement of gun laws a “tragic joke.”
“This is not a Constitutional question, but it is a political courage question and it is an issue for Washington — we can’t do it alone,” Bloomberg said.
“This week President Obama and Vice President Biden did step up and put forward a comprehensive plan for attacking gun violence, and I give them both a lot of credit for listening to the voices of everyday Americans and putting public safety ahead of special interests.”

“Their bodyguards, perimeter security, event staff, mansion guards and drivers do, of course. “
Absolutely. He has ~$25 billion dollars net with, and supports higher tax rates ‘for the rich’, that also won’t affect him.
I wonder the same. NY politicians sure to seem pretty full of hubris.
Come on. That’s racist and homophobic. Faggots have feelings, too.
I believe you are dead right about how he feels abouthis guards , and about anyone who disagrees with him. We are lower life forms to this rich mother Lover.
[Most people I know don’t even have a gun’]
Most people he knows wouldn’t tell him if they did.
“Sorry; I meant to say maggot. I have a lisp.”
I doubt anyone that knows Bloomberg would be STUPID ENOUGH to tell him that he owns a gun.
> I guess he does not know his security detail.
They’re just servants, doncha know. It’s declasse` to know your servants on a first name basis. Only the bourgeois would do that.
“This is not a Constitutional question...”
Really? Maybe bloomers should try reading our Constitution? He must have been absent during 3rd grade.
There aren’t too many guns; there are too many liberals.
Of course not. Socialist royalty has small armies or body guards. THEY have the guns.
D@*%@)bag...
The good news is that, with rallies happening across the country today, that WILL suprise many of the gun-grabbers BIGTIME.
“Their bodyguards, perimeter security, event staff, mansion guards and drivers do, of course.”
He doesn’t know the little people, they are just props for the elite.
What an idiot. Most people he knows probably don’t drive a car either.
It sucks to be them when they hear a window break at 2:30 in the morning.
Are/do any of them belong to the “Pink Pistols”? A gay pro-2nd group. Besides which, why would you tell this asshat anything if you knew he had intentions of trying to take something away from you? (’Hand in the air’, “Ooh, Ooh mr. mayor. I own a gun.”’) What’s next? “I don’t even know anybody that puts salt on their food.” “I don’t even know anybody that smokes.” (except hussein) “I don’t even know anybody that drinks soft drinks.” What a miserable life this guy leads. But, in comfort.
Kind of foggy right now in norther NV for the trip to Carson City. Hopefully it will burn off before our ETD.
Share the lead.
Yup. Last term I believe. Heard/read that anthony The weiner is going to run for mayor of new york. He and the swollen uh................ego. Yeah, that’s it. NYC deserves to get the weiner.
He could care less that he's got armed guards.
That’s ok. Most people I know don’t even have a billion dollars.
