In one of the bloodiest single days in recent city history, 25 people were brutally shot in just over 24 hours this weekend -- including three kids at a house party-turned-shooting gallery in The Bronx.

Calling the chilling violence "just unconscionable," Mayor Bloomberg demanded that the feds step up their efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets.

Perhaps the mayor should conduct shooter's ed for these illegal gun users, so they could hit what they are aiming at and not bystanders. Eventually the bad guys would eliminate each other and, viola, problem solved!

[RKBA Democrat]

And predictably the mayor continues on one of his gungrabbing rampages.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[Travis McGee]

Imagine, guns running around shooting folks, in a city where guns are illegal!

[RKBA Democrat]

Oh, and you gotta just shake your head at this: “Police said they were searching for 17-year-old Oneil DaSilva, of Mount Vernon, in connection with the shooting. His rap sheet includes nine arrests for attempted murder, third-degree assault and burglary.”

Amd he was still on the street. There is no cure for stupid, and NYC has it baaaaad.

[Rudder]

Police said they were searching for 17-year-old Oneil DaSilva, of Mount Vernon, in connection with the shooting. His rap sheet includes nine arrests for attempted murder, third-degree assault and burglary.

And this poor little 17-year-old has been allowed to freely terrorize without facing consequences, while Bloomberg has busied himself rounding up legal guns in Arizona.

Travis McGee: “Imagine, guns running around shooting folks, in a city where guns are illegal!”

That got a chuckle out of me. Yes. There ought to be a law against illegal guns shooting folks.

[Texas Eagle]

A) I wonder how many of the people doing the shooting voted for Bloomie and other DemocRAT polluticians.

B) I wonder how many of the people shot voted for Bloomie and DemocRAT polluticians.

[Texas Eagle]

That's amazing. Iraq has a city called The Bronx, too?

Bring our troops home!

Oh. Wait a minute....

[Flintlock]

HANG THEM THERE NASTYGUNS!
TORTURE ‘EM WITH BLOWTORCHES!
SEND ‘EM TO BED WITHOUT SUPPER!

That’ll fix it—eh, Bloomie.\?

I sent the the NY Post a letter quoting Archie Bunker...

Gloria: Do you know that sixty percent of all deaths in America are caused by guns?
Archie Bunker: Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they was pushed out of windows?

[Smokin' Joe]

"...brutally shot..."

Is there a nice way to shoot someone? Sheesh!

[Texas Eagle]

Bloomberg demanded that the feds step up their efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets.....

The feds??? Why don't YOU step up efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets?

And, besides, how do you know the feds aren't responsible for the illegal guns being on the streets in the first place?

[Texas Eagle]

Calling the chilling violence "just unconscionable," Mayor Bloomberg demanded that the feds step up their efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets.

Oh, right. Just like that. You're going to round up all the guns and get them out of the city. Why not just grant the guns amnesty? Or, better yet, why not round up the criminals and get them off the streets?

Yeah, yeah. I know. That's just right-wing crazy talk.

()Mayor Bloomberg demanded that the feds step up their efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets.

Hey Bloomberg, why not get the CRIMINALS off the streets? And why is it the Feds job to protect NY citizens and not your job??

[Above My Pay Grade]

I think the solution is clear. They need to lock up Plaxico Burress for another 3 years. /sarc

These people are of an outright alien culture that is antithetical and hostile to the morals and values of Western civilization. What makes the situation even more dangerous is the fact that any attempt to impose our values on these people is considered “racist” and to, God forbid,actually punish them for violating our rules of conduct is worse than murder. The little punk that shot up the party has a rap sheet a mile long and is a known threat. He could have and should have been dealt with along time ago but if fact is the System has protected HIM! But the question really is: Who is it that opposes Western civilization and who has the power to prevent Western society from protecting and perpetuating itself?

[Texas Eagle]

Cut the man some slack. He's doing his best. He can't be everywhere at once, you know.

First he'll get the salt out of restaurants and THEN he'll work on getting the guns off the streets.

“...demanded that the feds step up their efforts to get illegal weapons off the streets.”

Man up Bloomberg - protect NY and don't blame the Feds. You have all the laws on the books to do the job!

People seem to forget that the cop on the beat has more authority to uphold laws than any other law enforcement officer. The oath taken by the local police officer is to enforce ALL local, state and US laws.

Reminds me of Ray Nagin, former mayor of New Orleans, demanding the Federal Government do something to help N.O., NOW! Beauty of it, was the 100's of school buses, under water, as a back drop, unable to hep evacuate people, due to inaction by Field Marshal and President for life, Ray Nagin.
