Bloomberg: ‘Most people I know don’t even have a gun’
The Daily Caller ^ | January 18, 2012 | Caroline May

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.”

Bloomberg said his Mayors Against Illegal Guns organization was in close communication with Biden and helped develop the slate of goals Obama announced Wednesday...

Bloomy should have stopped at soda, salt and smokes. He also needs new friends.

Regarding 'industrialized country' ~ Bloomberg conveniently forgets the 52 million people, 6 million of them Jews, who were murdered in Europe in the last century ~ mostly by firearms!

The only reason the Europeans didn't murder more is they ended up occupied by the United States and Russia.

It's just a matter of time and those 'industrialized' countries he thinks of so highly over in Europe will be murdering millions more ~ we can only pray he's on vacation in one of the target cities when that starts up.

“Bloomberg: ‘Most people I know don’t even have a gun’”

He’s a typical hypocrtical little, limousine liberal, douchebag who’s protected 24-7 by an armed group of bodyguards with unlimited firepower.

What is the matter with New York, both the city and state, that they keep electing Bloomberg and Cuomo to office? It must be a mental illness caused by over-crowding.

“birds of a feather flock together.”

bloomingidiotberg is a birdbrain. He is an elitist who doesn’t “know” the folks around him who wear weapons to guard his silly a$$. But if the SHTF, you can bet he’ll be singing like a canary to have those folks he “doesn’t know” come to his rescue.

Most people I know lost all their guns in a tragic boating accident, so I guess he’s right.

Is everyone in New York City brain dead? I understand those in other parts of the State are still able to think logically, but NYC seems to have some sort of horrible disease that destroys logic, could it be the result of hive living?

Personally, I think if we wanted to end violence we should ban cities.

Hey, I think you're on to something here! But I don't think we can ban them, so let's call for a limit on city capacity because, after all, no city needs to have more than 600,000 people. Think of the children!

Anyone who values their freedom and their lives would never tell Bloomie anything about what they have.

“This is how we know that patriots will win the second American revolution.
The libtards are unarmed.”

They themselves may be unarmed, but they’ll have no problems with ordering the military and the police to use the full force of -their- arms against the patriots.

If there’s to be a second American revolution, its outcome may well hinge on how the military and police respond to orders to fire on ordinary citizens.

Some will.
Some won’t.

I can’t predict which side would win.
