Bloomberg, Measuring Candidates on Gun Control

New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg wants every presidential candidate to answer a 16 question survey on guns, including "restrictions on gun trace data, gun trafficking, federal enforcement of gun laws, and punishment levels for breaking gun laws."

I predict that the Thompson campaign will fax back a seven page response, with the first page just a giant letter "F," the second page is a giant letter "U," ... and you can get a sense of where it's going.

So what? I want Bloomberg to leave the country and never return, but nobody cares about that either.

Travis,

How about in your next book you have a gun-grabber politician character named Myron Blumfeld, and kill him off painfully?

Bloomberg isn’t rational.

I’d like to see their answers too. I want to see clear and unambiguous statements. Not the misleading crap that JulieAnnie spouts about his “full” support for the second amendment. They all need to make clear statements.

Bloomie’s questions would not be honest.

Yup. Me too. Perhaps not in response to the thug bloomberg, but a list of clear and unambiguous questions by someone who actually knows and understands the constitution.

Maybe the Cato Institute & GOA could collaborate on a list of questions. We need no ambiguities or grey areas.

No way should we throw all of our support behind a faux conservative, only to see him get elected and turn antigun. We’ve been fooled before. I remember seeing one begging congress to put an AWB extension on his desk so he could sign it. Then he hired the BATF over a thousand attorneys to go after gun owners.

It might be more enlightening & entertaining to take them to the range & see who had the tightest group.
