Billionaire Democrat presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg is a staunch proponent of gun control for America with one caveat–he gets to spend his days surrounded by good guys with guns to keep him safe.
Bloomberg’s use of armed guards has been seized upon again and again by gun rights supporters through the years. They point to the guards in an attempt to show his habit of pushing laws that would deny self-defense tools to poor families while allowing Bloomberg to benefit from being protected by men with firearms.
The New York Post reported on Bloomberg referring to the NYPD as his “own army,” while Mayor of New York City. And on January 25, 2019, NRA-ILA reported that after his tenure as mayor ended “Bloomberg hired some of the same [NYPD] officers from his security detail to work for him privately.” Yet he continued to push gun control for average Americans.
In more general terms, universal background checks are arguably the most prominent piece of legislation in Bloomberg’s gun control portfolio. Yet Crime Prevention Research president John R. Lott has shown that states that adopted such checks “experienced a 15 percent increase in per capita rates of mass public shooting fatalities.” Those states also witnessed “a 38 percent increase in the rate of injury from [the mass public shootings].”
But Bloomberg moves through life surrounded by good guys with guns; by men who are armed to be sure he is safe as he goes about his daily business.

He’s putting together a rock band.
“No Guns or Soda”.
Heil, Heil, the gangs all here.
Outlaw personal security guards.
Of course. He’s part of the revolutionary elite. He is too busy looking out for our best interest to be bothered by mundane threats to his safety.
Governments murdered 262,000,000 of their own citizens in the 20th century alone, and citizen disarmament was a necessary prerequisite of all those democides.

People are in thousands of times more danger from an all-powerful government than they are from deranged mass-shooters.
HYPOCRISY SQUARED !!! FIRE YOUR ARMED GUARDS, Mini!
MINI! Thinks he is WAY MORE SPECIAL than us!!
The little squirt never ceases to disgust me!!!
Of course. When communists, socialists, Democrats opine about who will pay for their free stuff, sharing the wealth of the rich and making you safe by disarming you, they always exclude themselves from those draconian policies.
Buy weapons and ammo, folks. Leftists kill babies. They have no issue killing you or I. Never give them up.
JoMa
Of course he does. They all do. The Founders knew!!
Mikey Napoleon should put Beto “Hell yeah...” O Mao on the bottom of his ticket. It’s a win/win. Has he come out of surrogate mommy Joy’s basement yet?
Let’s just state it right off the bat:
We aren’t giving up OUR guns Mikey, you little two-bit fascist.
Lefties always talk the talk—they never walk the walk.
Enjoys?
That's more a word I'd have associated with Buttigieg.
Little hitler
Yeah, probably is a closet BIG GULP drinker with a plastic straw.
