Brooklyn Congressional Contest Tests Traditions of an Ethnic Turf

[BenLurkin]

"Illegal guns" . . . you know . . . ones that shoot bullets.

[Semper Paratus]

Mayor Menino of Boston said something similar yesterday after he was sworn in as Mayor for Life.

[tfecw]

At least he donates to the GOP. /s

[firebrand]

Boy am I glad I missed this. The tiny little hamburgers had me going, and the free scarf, but it looks like I made the right decision. I would have been booing my lungs out.

[paulcissa]

Mike "Bloathead" Bloomberg just wants a sloppy wet kiss from his idol Chucky Schumer. The two of these guys are fighting for the "Most Anti-2A" title. Considering it's already illegal to own a gun in NYC, Mike should be considering what might be wrong with his kingdom.

FWIW...It's common knowledge among NYPD that Bloomberg packs heat. Another limousine liberal packaged as a Republican. IS there no end to the hypocrisy?

[winner3000]

(He said as a "prominent Republican" the mayor might be able to "hold others in his party accountable for their wrong decisions on guns.")

He may be prominent, but he's no Republican. The man is the personifiIation of the word "RINO".

This is precisely why a Republican from the Northeast will never secure the GOP nomination for the White House in 2008 or any time in the foreseeable future.

Beating Them at Their Own Game (Mafia)

[KenmcG414]

This mayor is a complete moron. NY has one of the toughest gun laws in the country, yet the bad guys have no trouble getting guns. Not to mention the fact that liberal judges continue walking bad guys. The law abiding people have such an extreme difficult time to get a gun permit, they give up trying. Arm the good guys and defeat the bad guys!!

[M203M4]

Sounds like he is taking his lines from leftist (Liberal, Bloc, Green, and NDP) Canadian politicians.

[BadAndy]

The little twit is just following the lead of our glorious Gov. Pataki.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

NYC Sullivan act was passed as a blatant racist law to prevent Blacks, other people of color and Eastern Europeans from obtaining firearms.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

If it is only the "illegal" guns that are causing the trouble and that Bloomin idiot wants to address, then obviously making guns illegal (applying regulations) doesn't work.

If the answer to the drug problem and "illegal" immigration is not to step up enforcement but to legalize or grant amnesty, then we ought to just legalize all guns.

Problem solved.

[Alberta's Child]

Ping.

[Crooked Constituent]

I stumbled across Mayor Bloombergs speech on TV the other day and heard him make his statements on guns. He sounded like a wussy milque-toast liberal.

[DLfromthedesert]

What part of Brooklyn are you from? I grew up in Bensonhurst, and Midwood, and attended St. Athanasius, but moved to Long Island, so I didn't go to high school there.

Anyhow, Bloomberg is a putz.

[JoeSixPack1]

Immediately following JFK's assination, all NYC high school shooting teams were disbanded. Gun amnisty programs popped up in the city around 1964, seasonal game hunters were stashing their rifles in friends homes in NJ & LI for the last century.

What makes Mr. Bloomingidiot think after years of draconian gun grabbing ignorance that he can make a failed, unconstitutional policy work?

Oh, wait, silly me, I forgot he's a billionaire RINO. Never mind.

[Thunder90]

Remember, Most NYC "Republicans" are Democrats, and NYC Democrats are Greens

[elkfersupper]

On one hand, it is probably good that the NRA is responding.

On the other, responding just lends Mayor Bloomberg credibility where none is due.
