Bloomberg Suggests Banning Young Minority Males from Gun Ownership

According to The Aspen Times, Bloomberg addressed a variety of topics, and after commenting on poverty and education, he discussed guns. The Times reported that he said, “Cities need to get guns out of [the] … hands” of persons who are “male, minority, and between the ages of 15 and 25.”

Ummm, and is there any outcry for this "suggestion" to violate the rights of "minorities" between 21 and 25? Because those under 18 (rifles) 21 (pistols) are already "prohibited" from having them. Sounds a little racis' to me. But what would you really expect from this IPOS guilt ridden old white guy? Guess we'll need to insert this in his name plaque "nanny 'jim crow' bloomberg".

Hitler is alive and well in the US. Screw Bloomturd!!

[MeshugeMikey]

Cites..Dont Need.. any more Bloomberg NONSENSE!

That would leave law-abiding minority males unable to defend themselves and their loved ones from the criminal element which has illegal weapons.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Wow, the stupidity rolls on, doesn’t it? How about rounding up those who have used a gun illegally to kill or injure someone he/she did not have the authority to maim/kill and hanging them, no matter what color or socioeconomic status they come from? How about real punishment of gun misuse? When?

Bloomberg is a frickin’ racist Nazi.

[savedbygrace]

Bloomberg consistently misunderstands cause and effect, and then decides that anti-Constitutional laws are the necessary government response, based on his illogical thinking.

[doug from upland]

Unbelievably racist. I cannot believe he said that.

[gaijin]

Imagine the media reaction if Cruz or Sarah said this...!!!

[MuttTheHoople]

Like these young black males and females?

[umgud]

Ole Bloomey can campaign against guns all day long and the left will love him, but this is like a dropping racial turd in the punch bowl. Nobody on the right could survive a statement like this.

Can he?

[manc]

You think it will be all over the news that one of their own has shown his racism, nah me neither.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Well said, Busko!

“Hitler is alive and well in the US.”

Bloomberg is trying to drive a wedge between gun rights constitutionalists — disarm young minorities? Does the nutbar even realize how easy it is to make a gun in a garage? A lot easier than cooking meth I bet. The next step would be to regulate the sale of steel, and then we’d have ‘steel smurfs’.

So why should we disarm any law abiding US citizen?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Interesting that Bloomers talks about a abridging the second amendment relationship for law-abiding citizens of a specific age while not addressing the fact that a 12-year old can get a “pocket 25” (0.25 caliber handgun) for $20 cash anywhere in NYC.

[ClearCase_guy]

This is the traditional Democrat position, going back well over 150 years. The slaves might revolt at any time, so gun control keeps guns away from the slaves.

It's the Republicans who oppose such condescending racism. RKBA for everyone.

Well, it was at the Aspen Institute and we should all be aware of the minority murder issues that plagues Aspen. Oh, probably not so much. Take a look at their, uh, distinguished list of ‘bored’ members and ‘trustees’(?).

Nice job Bloomberg. So, just how does this work within or with respect to our constitutional rights:

2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

14th Amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Does the word unconstitutional sound familiar?

Paging Al Sharpton. Paging Jesse. Anyone?
