"When I was 15 or so, I had a .22-caliber rifle," he told The New York Times in 2006. "Part of my hearing's gone because of it."

Lying sob. .22s don't even slightly ring the ears.

For sure, they're far quieter than the Rolling Stones concert Blommy attended a few years back -- the one where he tried to have Keith Richards arrested from smoking a (tobacco) cigarette onstage. (It failed -- the cops knew a riot would ensue and disregarded the mayor's insane order).

Thats new to me. I'm glad the officers excercised some good judgment on that. Bloomberg has some serious mental health issues thats for sure. Thanks for the Stones concert story. Interesting.

Actually, .22LRs are some of the most dangerous because of the high-frequency noise. Many people disregard it and end up with hearing loss in the upper regions.

This is very similar to what happens with industrial milling machines. Often, it’s the noises that you’re not “hearing” that are the worst.

But, Bloomie’s still a douchebag, deaf or not ;)

He’ s a liar! A .22 rifle makes only slightly more noise than a BB gun.
