And in a show of solidarity, I'm sure Bloomberg and others will leave their Armed Body Guards at home.

Effin hypocrites.

A large gathering of anti-American proto-fascists.

orange?

as in “rob people wearing orange” day?

as in “dress like an HBO prison inmate” day?

you really can’t fix stupid.

Bloomberg is in desperate need of a laugh track to follow him around.

Let’s see how committed they are to their dream of disarming the American people: Let them personally lead the confiscation, and I mean right out front.

leave their Armed Body Guards at home

I'd ask for more than that. I'd ask Bloomberg and the rest of them to sign this simple statement: From this moment forward, I will not employ armed personnel in any capacity, at any time.

And why shouldn't they sign it? They all have cell phones capable of dialing 911. What more do they need?

MTV has come a long way from only being music television. It’s just crap now.

Orange is the new black is an HBO series.

It is about homosexual women in prison.

thus

anyone who disagrees is a __________. (insert: homophob, racist, rich snob, etc. etc.)

This is a "B" list of celebrities at best. Most are "C" and some are completely off the radar.

What a pathetic mess of nothings - queers, foreigners and ugly women.

oops my bad, it was Netflix.

the main character “She has been convicted of transporting a suitcase full of drug money to her former girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon)” She was engaged to this other “she”.

IOW this is just prison homosexuals against gun violence.

Well, lessee now...

Bloomberg, who hates the country that made him rich;
MTV, that hasn’t been music oriented since the early 90’s;
HBO, who giggled like frat girls when the showed GWB’s severed head on a pike;
And a regiment of fellow-travelers in tow.

Dissapointed to see Alyssa Milano and Mellissa Joan-Hart in that list...

Isn’t Amanda Peet most famous for shooting a gun while naked, in some movie?

There will be more guns there than at an NRA event as hypocritical “ stars” bring all their pistol packing bodyguards
