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!

[grania]

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?

[FlingWingFlyer]

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?

[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.

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.

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?

[Red in Blue PA]

Paging Al Sharpton. Paging Jesse. Anyone?

Mock the proposal all you want. He sure has nailed the problem.

[IronJack]

Do that and you’ll see the “gun violence” decline dramatically. But you’ll be called a racist and a bigot and a civil rights throwback for proposing a solution that would actually work.

[americas.best.days...]

Wow! He should check his white privilege at the Aspen Institute’s door.

Also, it’s adorable how he thinks that this certain group goes through legitimate purchase and background check channels to obtain their guns! Too cute.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Civil liberty issues aside, it’s illegal guns that cause most of the problem. If that’s true, how will this help? It’s another example of disarming the predominantly law abiding.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That’s just gun control returning to it’s roots.
