According to The Aspen Times, Bloomberg addressed a variety of topics, and after commenting on poverty and education, he discussed guns. The Times reported that he said, “Cities need to get guns out of [the] … hands” of persons who are “male, minority, and between the ages of 15 and 25.”

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

Well, kinda. The problem you believe is not legal ownership of firearms by thus described demographic, but the illegal use of firearms by thus described demographic, which is already against the law, coincidentally. The number of thugs in this demographic is hugely disproportionate compared to the overall makeup of the US, but is still a minority of its citizenry.

Donald Sterling lost the Clippers for far less. Bloomturd should be forced to sell all his interest in and give up all control of his companies.

Maybe they should start a program like “stop and frisk”. This program was great at removing guns from the street. Oh, sorry, they can’t, racist !

During the 1992 Presidential election campaign, I briefly considered voting for Ross Perot. He came up with a similar theme, something along the lines of surrounding the ghettos, going door to door, and seizing all firearms, to reduce crime. I am not sure what shocked me more, the fact that he actually articulated such a strategy, or the number of folks that thought it was a good idea !

I mentioned this in a prior thread - THEY ARE CHANGING TACTICS. They now realize they must pit group against group.

Perhaps here they will push for a law that applies ONLY to 15-25 year old males - NO GUNS for you guys. They get the law through, and then the first judge that reviews it says it has to apply to EVERYBODY, or nobody - and then, of course, Option 1 is chosen.

Usually when these kinds of rules and regs are put in place the problem is solved almost immediately. Uh, guess not.

This is but the first step in disarming the entire population.

It’s all an exercise of smoke and mirrors.

I think you need to take a timeout to read the Bill of Rights.

You are 100% right on this,

The whole purpose behind gun control was so that minorities can be easily overpowered by groups like the KKK supported by certain politicians, because if they are not disarmed then something like this happens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hayes_Pond

And that battle is the biggest argument against gun control that no one can dispute, plus these creatures never came back to harass them to my knowledge.

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

I mock anyone who proposes violation of Constitutional rights which is far worse than the "problem".
