Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York City, has been an outspoken critic of the Second Amendment for quite a while and co-founded the group known as “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” in 2006.
Bloomberg has jumped on the tragic shooting at the midnight showing of the new Batman film with alacrity in order to shamelessly push his anti-gun agenda which is perfectly in line with that of the United Nations.
On Monday night’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” on CNN, Bloomberg made some astounding statements, not the least of which is saying that police should actually strike unless the public somehow forces the legislature to “do what’s required to keep us [meaning the police] safe.”
Oddly enough, Bloomberg seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that studies have shown that private gun ownership actually reduces crime and thus keeps people safe.
If Bloomberg and his anti-gun pals had their way, it would be much more difficult for the average person to legally own a firearm, thus reducing the overall number of firearms in the population and actually working against the problem which Bloomberg is supposedly trying to solve.
“I don’t understand why the police officers across his country don’t stand up collectively and say, ‘We’re going to go on strike. We’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe,’” said Bloomberg on “Piers Morgan Tonight.”
“After all, police officers want to go home to their families and we’re doing everything we can to make their jobs more difficult,” Bloomberg added.
This statement is completely nonsensical. How would the reduction of crime make the job of police officers more difficult? Wouldn’t reduced crime make their job easier?
Then again, since Bloomberg and others just choose to ignore facts which don’t agree with their worldview, his laughable claims are hardly surprising.
Bloomberg also used the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado in order to attack President Barack Obama and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
He claimed that they were not taking steps concrete enough to improve gun control in the United States, even though the last thing we need is more gun control and thus fewer legal gun owners.
If one is realistic, one can only come to the logical conclusion that criminals will get guns regardless of the laws which are in place. It’s just a fact of life.
Furthermore, we must take note of the fact that the alleged man behind the massacre in Colorado did not have a criminal record. Unless Bloomberg wants to start making people go through long-term in-depth psychological evaluation, testing and screening before purchasing a firearm, I don’t see how his proposal for increased gun control will have any impact on situations like this.
To respond to a tragedy like that in Colorado by cracking down on legal gun ownership is to throw the baby out with the bathwater and put the American public in considerable danger.One of the groups getting the most heat after the Aurora shooting is the National Rifle Association, or NRA.
One of the most unbelievable comments come from Bill Moyers of PBS when he actually said that the NRA is an “enabler of death — paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion.”
Among other absurdist statements, Moyer said, “Firearm violence may cost our country as much as $100 billion a year. Toys are regulated with greater care and safety concerns than guns … we have become so gun loving, so blasé about home-grown violence that in my lifetime alone, far more Americans have been casualties of domestic gunfire than have died in all our wars combined.”
Moyers also said that the NRA is “the best friend a killer’s instinct ever had,” placing a great deal of the blame on the pro-gun organization.
How can Moyers actually make such clearly ludicrous statements and expect people to take him seriously? Why would the NRA be at all responsible for a young man with no criminal record being able to procure weaponry which he used on a rampage?
Unless Moyers is one of the truly delusional individuals who thinks all people should be disarmed and prevented from owning firearms, I don’t see how he can actually claim that the NRA is responsible in any way for this tragedy.
The fact is, guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Until individuals like Bloomberg and Moyers realize that, we’re going to be struggling to maintain our rights protected by the Second Amendment.

That disgusting little zionist went to Israel to cheer Operation Cast Lead. 'Operation Turkey Shoot Cast DU and white phosforous' He is also a war criminal
The Zionist banksters, financiers, and their toadies want to be sure that:
(1) nobody armed can apprehend them for trial;
(2) nobody armed can resist their depopulation plans;
(3) no armed survivors can resist enslavement; and
(4) nobody armed can resist their Zionist hegemony.
We should take this Zionist's advice seriously. Yes, the cops should retire and let The People do their own policing. It is definitely time. The streets and neighborhoods, especially in the White communities, will finally be safe again. The People will finally do a better job of it, be stronger in the end, and natural forces will reassert themselves in this country. It will also lead to every American arming himself and all learning to cooperate with each other for defense.
Then of course when the Zionists realize they made a mistake the cops will come back in force with their more advanced weapons and open war on Americans. But Americans will then be better able to fight the police-cum-Banker-mercenaries. It will be the cowboys and Indians all over again. I think it's inevitable. Of course, in that scenario the invaders won over the indigenous. But with prayer and purification, we could at least give a mortal blow to the Beast so that his reign is shorter.
Seems to me, Bloomberg is only blindly, reacting. Ya know, opening his mouth before his brain is in gear. But, what would one expect from a Mayor who's town is host to the world's anti-gun coalition. Just because one weird fella decided to go on a shooting spree DOES NOT mean all people who have guns are a threat. Those who want guns banned are scared for their own life (for some reason). In light of the increasing police brutality and abuse, maybe police depts. should be disbanded and We The People take up the call of protecting our neighbors. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." During the time when our Constitution and Bill of Rights were forged, public citizen militias and local courts took care of law breakers. This is the way it should be. No outside persons judging a local trouble maker, no show of force daring for a confrontation, no abuse of power and arrogance with a badge on it. The militia worked together, in training, in readiness against oppressors, in protecting the citizens of their community; where peace and tranquility flourished. Moyer seems to hang himself, as often as the prompter-less president, every time he opens his mouth. Let them discredit themselves, they are doing a good job at it. If someone were to make a documentary about violent deaths, (guns, automobiles, knives, bombs, poisons) the only commonality is a human. Bad humans kill people, inanimate objects just lie there.
Ok first of all dumb and dumber can stick there gun laws up there wazzoo. I myself own numerous guns and they don't do anything but, sit around till hunting season shows up. I have no desire or the people that I associate with want to go out and open fire on innocent people. I have never seen a gun walk down the street and do harm to a person. The idiots mentioned in the above article think that anyone that owns a firearm is a criminal. Where I come from owning guns is a way of life. One thing you have to remember is that most people that own guns are law abiding honest good people, then you have fruit loops out there that do a haness crime. So think about it when dumb and dumber start policing up our guns in northern states you are gonna see mass kaos.
Zionist? You make your point by starting off with lies, distortion, accusations that are defamation of someone's character? So much for yor comments. It is about time that we call out the NRA for what they have become. They are the enemy in America. Once a great organization; now, corrupt and full of gun mfgs who want to continue their illegal arms trades. Hiding behind membership numbers of people who are unsuspecting of their true intentions. When they started writing our laws, boilerplating them on to Republican controlled states who shove them down our throat, they have gone too far. Instrumental for 40 yrs in plotting the takeover of our Democratic Republic and dupping members with insane accusations and irresponsible assaults against our gov't. They are subversive and we need them dismantled....NOW!!! Anyone paranoid about losing their right to bear arms, is deaf, dumb and blind and should serve their country by keeping their mouths shut and their comments to themselves....they do no service to this country, their family or themselves. I will not renew my membership....DOWN WITH THE NRA!!
Bloomberg would be shocked to find out that in many major cities when the Police did go on strike the crime rate went down.The police in New York have a build in crime income of reporting information directly to the mob on information received from people reporting crimes the mob did.
