“...enforcing the laws we have now...”. That’s too hard so obviously newer tougher laws need to be passed that will also do zero good and be totally ignored by the bad guys just as they are now. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Sounds kind of racist to me. Imagine if Sarah Palin would have said that....

In reality, you are siding with

Bloomberg is mad that planned parenthood didn't do it's job and now he has to deal with the problem.
You can bet that most elites see blacks as just an inconvenience,something to be controlled or if possible eliminated.

Thou doth protest too much.

What you said in a prior post: “Mock the proposal all you want. He sure has nailed the problem.”

He never speaks the truth. Never. Yet you claimed he nailed the problem.

Nobody on the right could survive a statement like this.

Can he?

Of course he can. He is:
1) liberal
2) ruling class

Old Sheets Byrd said much worse.

News flash:

Most of those who use guns for crimes are possessing them illegally anyway; one more law won’t stop them. It will only make it harder for the victims to fight back.

Bloomie plans to donate money to elect racists that will disarm blacks.

That is the message we have to remind everyone of. The gun control part is lost if the message is that he wants to elect racists!

He is certainly right about the demographics/race but I wouldn’t support what he is suggesting.

Here is the link and relevant text from the original story. I suggest that everyone here save it for the next time the anti-gun crowd starts chirping up:

**********

http://www.aspentimes.com/news/14957190-113/michael-bloomberg-calls-colorados-decision-on-legal-pot-stupid

...Moderator Jennifer Bradley, director of the Center for Urban Innovation at the (Aspen) Institute, then asked what the U.S. can do to get people out of poverty. Bloomberg responded that conventional wisdom points to education, but education isn’t going to help uneducated adults. Bradley later asked how government can offer basic fairness to the children “who have been failed.”

Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.

“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”

Maybe young minority males should be banned from joining the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and other violent street gangs.

Brilliant! That will cure both the problems of “gun violence” and gang violence with just one more law!

It’s akin to Romney’s not campaigning for the lower 47%. The racism of the elite slips out because they probably don’t ever realize they have some racist tendencies.

No, nannie ‘jim crow’ bloomers. We think you’re a joke. Sadly there are too many IPOS/SPOS who buy your snake oil without ever questioning it or calling you on it. Because you’re special of course.

It is always easy to issue edicts on guns when you are surrounded by armed guards.

NYC politics is strange.


You can say that again. Bloomberg got a 2 for 1 in that deal. He avoided a difficult primary, amongst the Democrat contenders, and got to ride Rudy’s coat tails, as both a Republican, and via Guiliani’s endorsement. Many on this forum disdain Rudy, fair enough, but he was regarded as a miracle worker, in NYC.

Thank you.

He almost nailed the problem. Thugs need to be disarmed and incarcerated so they can no longer prey upon their helpless fellow black citizens. Decent citizens of any race should not have their right to own weapons denied.
