“It was very funny; you should take a look at it,” he told reporters in a news conference at the Pershing Square Signature Center, the new home of the Signature Theater.
Ask me why I am not laughing...And why, when we are over at a friends house to watch this sports spectacular event, why mu Barrett .50 cal will be poised upon its bipod on the floor, right in front of that very TV, in response to his nonsense...
These anti-freedom asshats are going to seriously mis-calculate our resolve to protect this inalienable right...
They do not believe we’ll fight at all...
They will never be that sorry again...
I would only worry about the part of the commercial that Bloomberg speaks. No one is going to understand one thing that comes out of “Mush Mouth” Menino.
The Left keeps pushing this very steadily, through their indefeasible networks held together and propped up with graft money and Soros money. And I include in "graft" all the program moneys the Left has managed to get budgeted over the years for federal programs staffed by veterans of their favorite NGO's. These partisan excrescences on the U.S. Government need to be lopped off and the moneys rededicated to other purposes, like deficit reduction.
Billionaire Bloomberg and his anti-gun cronies at “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” (MAIG) simply blame others for their failure and refusal to deal effectively with violent crime and criminals. Bad people, not inanimate objects (like firearms) which are incapable of committing crime, are the problem. Fortunately, violent crime rates have dropped to record low levels in recent years while Congress and state legislatures are protecting and even restoring the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
While MAIG’s claim to support laws that will lead to a reduction in crime rings hollow, perhaps a better expenditure of their time would be to focus their “crime-fighting” efforts on their own members.
Among MAIG’s members, many have run afoul of the law themselves, having been indicted, arrested, or convicted of crimes ranging from obstruction of justice and resisting arrest, to extortion, to assault, to bond violations, to bribery, and theft.
Glenn Harlan Reynolds, the Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee College of Law, sums this up well when he recently noted, “A recent study found that mayors belonging to Bloomberg’s group have been arrested at a much higher rate than Tennessee handgun-carry permit holders, for crimes ranging from perjury and embezzlement to child sexual assault. But there’s no background check for politicians.” There probably isn’t time prior to Sunday’s big game to revamp the ad, but if Bloomberg and MAIG truly want to take a bite out of crime, perhaps they should first police themselves.
