Bloomberg: If You Sell a Gun to Your Son, 'There's Something Wrong in Your Family'

[Rushmore Rocks]

I’m safe. My son sold a gun to me.

[americas.best.days...]

BWWAAHAHAHA! When he says ‘something wrong in your family’, I don’t think he’s talking about guns, he’s talking
about money. I had to read it a few times. He is so rich,
that he can’t comprehend wanting $100 from your kid. He sees
it as asking for that penny he owes you.Makes no sense!

Bloomturd! Sorry you’re so short, but you can’t take it out on the rest of us.

I’m going to weaponize a few dozen jars of salsa in the fall.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

[nomad]

Yeah, they`re cheap! Give it to the kid, cheap skate. I mean a house warming present, 21st birthday gift, just because you love them. Or maybe the cheap skate wants`em helpless if some creep tries something.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well, he IS right!!!!

You don’t SELL stuff to your kids....you GIVE them stuff.

(Can’t believe I agree w/this bozo)

Heh

[The Duke]

So, what does that make me for *buying* a rifle from my son so that he could afford to travel and be best man at his best friend's wedding?

I couldn't let him get ripped off at a pawn shop.

[Chode]

high capacity cooker...

[null and void]

I actually agree with the statement.
My concern is that the weapon is not a gift.

My initial take?

If You WON'T Sell a Gun to Your Son, 'There's Something Wrong in Your Family'

I like yours better...

[EEGator]

WMDs huh? You’ll be spending the Fall in re-education camp.

[Wanderer99]

You have the right to provide his sadistic voting base with a helpless victim.

[ansel12]

He should have run this by the people in his security detail, they could have told him how common it is for guns to change hands in a family, and not always as $500.00 and $2,000.00 gifts, but as sales, so that a different gun can replace the one that your son or daughter coveted and that you were willing to part with.

Being a billionaire, he probably doesn’t get the concept of the necessity of working people to make back some of the money they expended on the wrongly chosen product, so that they can purchase the correct one, I wonder if he is as generous as he makes himself sound?

[ThunderSleeps]

Starting in July in Colorado private transfers of firearms are going to require background checks. I’m tempted to just ignore this as a stupid and unconstitutional law. Or on June 30th I’ll simply give my firearms and magazines to my son. He will of course store them at my house for now, and give me permission to maintain and test fire them... Ultimately when I’m gone though, they’ll be his.

[Gene Eric]

Bloomberg is an ass for his paternal-statism, but the headline is misleading in terms of gun ownership:

Why don't you just give—I don't know if you should have a gun or not, but if you have a commercial transaction of $100 with your son, there's something wrong in your family.

Regarding the financial angle, there are a number of reasons why selling the gun is a legitimate, responsible transaction — reasons that should be obvious to an adult.

[svcw]

Good for you. CO has has gone insane in the last few months, the politicians at least.......having mucho family there.......the citizens not so much..........a BIG rebellion brewing.

[ConservativeInPA]

Well, apparently, like many other people are very evil.

[M-cubed]

Ultimately when I’m gone though, they’ll be his.<<<

Yup!.....and when they come to get them... he’ll be the one that lost them all in that tragic canoe mishap....../S

[DesertRhino]

“but if you have a commercial transaction of $100 with your son, there’s something wrong in your family.”

Imagine for a moment that Romney would have said that.

[56newblog]

I would never sell my guns to my Children, I WOULD GIVE THE GUN(s)TO THEM IF REQUESTED -{Except for the last one which will stay with me}.

[VerySadAmerican]

Mayors Against Illegal Guns? Is there a group of mayors who are FOR illegal guns?
