Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg's $10 million Super Bowl commercial includes a misleading statistics on violent gun deaths among children, according to Fox News. The network also found that Bloomberg's ad depicted an adult victim of a violent crime as a child.

In the emotionally-charged 60-second Bloomberg spot, Calandrian Simpson Kemp discusses her son's violent death. "On a Friday morning, George was shot. George didn't survive. I just kept saying, 'You cannot tell me that the child that I gave birth to, is no longer here.' Lives are being lost every day. It is a national crisis."

Well, apparently George was a child at one point so according to bloomie rules, he qualifies. With 400+ million guns in circulation, if they were a problem, pretty sure we'd know. Unless weir two stoopid.

20 year old child? Lying liars. What do we expect? How many felonies had this child committed? Most of these “children” are gangbangers, reaping what they sowed.

20 year olds today ARE still children.

At least, the ones who aren’t in the military.

That’s a poor argument to make. The stronger case is: the violence initiated by gangs

This lying about deaths by firearms has been typical for at least 20 years. My rights don’t become negotiable because black drug dealers are shooting each other in large numbers and making a mess of things, and that’s what we’re really talking about here.

Additionally, the documents stated that the death was the result of a "gang-related shooting" where "two groups of young men," including Kemp, had met "for a fight."

I looked up the incident in the ad. Black teens having an argument in the middle of the night and one of them, illegally in possession of a firearm, shot the other.

His ad is going to be a year jerker in Superbowl Sunday? If true, he really misread the audience and the moment. Hoping Trump’s ad is uplifting, purely positive or a meme/comedic type of ad

And what can you say about kids dying from gun shot wounds? Mostly killed by other kids? And what is Doomsberg proposing to keep illegal guns out of the hands of kids?

Just plain jerking is a fine descriptor of this ad.

That is not all. An Israeli company will be running a drag queens ad to attempt to normalize depravity in our already falling culture.

EXACTLY. = Frankly, I could care less f one gangbanger shoots another BUT in all too many cases INNOCENTS get shot.

Personally, I believe that each neighborhood’s residents should do what the men (and some women) in our “FORMERLY CRIMERIDDEN” neighborhood did. = We formed an ARMED NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH & started active cooperation with our precinct’s Constables office.

The KNOWN criminals were told to GET OUT or SUFFER the consequences.

In 2020, our neighborhood is one of the safest in San Antonio, after the criminals were driven out.
(Most people of “reasonably normal IQ” don’t want to face an organized group of angry residents armed with shotguns.)

Yours, TMN78247

***20 year old child?**

I believe upping the age of “kids” was first done by Handgun Control Inc, later the Brady Center, way back in the 1980s in an attempt to ban handguns.
