NYC Mayor Blames NRA and Guns for Recent Police Murders
- Thread starter MoW
- Start date
"Guns are flooding into the city from states like Pennsylvania and Virginia, where people can buy guns easily and then sell them in cities like New York to those who cannot legally acquire them, including drug dealers and other dangerous criminals," said Bloomberg in a recent radio address.
The city released 2003 data, which showed that 92 percent of all illegal guns came into New York from out of state.
"Fundamentally, if you want to solve the problem it is up to Congress, and Congress keeps getting rolled by the NRA," said Bloomberg during his weekly radio show. "This is plain and simple -- the NRA versus the lives of our children and our police officers," he said.
The gun used to kill Stewart in Brooklyn was discovered to be stolen from Florida. The suspect in that case, 27 year-old Allen Cameron, is also a suspect in the shooting of Philippe.
Bloomberg is a moron.
First off, if people are buying lots of guns in places like PA and FL and peddling them to criminals in NYC, then THEY TOO aren't "legally acquiring them." They're straw-purchasing them, and there are laws against that.
Second, Bloomberg is too stupid to wonder why the guns are brought to a place that bars honest residents from having guns for their own defense. The criminals want to have guns in a place where good people don't have access to them because it makes robbing people a safer thing (for the robber) to do!
Third, if the gun used to kill Steward in Brooklyn was stolen from Florida, what does it have to do with the NRA? A law was broken to get the gun from NY to FL. So Bloomberg wants more laws that ALSO would not stop criminal acts from being committed?
It's amazing how someone so incredibly DUMB was able to become a billionaire.
Oh, wait, no it's not. He's a LIAR (typical of gun-banners), and liars often make money at the expense of others. I guess being a LIAR is how he did it, rather than by being intelligent.
P.S. Why does it have to be "the NRA versus the lives of our children and our police officers"? Did he stop to think of how many children's lives might be lost if there was no NRA, and therefore no parents who had guns to use to defend their children in their homes? Children's lives would be lost that way, too.
Any time someone introduces "the children," it's generally because he has no articulate, logical argument on his side. So he goes for the emotional response. "Who wouldn't want to save children's lives?"
The only thing is, he has not demonstrated or proven that ANTI-GUN means "children are saved" and PRO-GUN means "children are killed." He has to be challenged on that presumption, which is of course patently unfounded.

It's easier to blame others, for the things that you have created. NY created the demand, and be it other states, or the creation of an underground arms factory (and yes, they are coming), there will always be others that will supply the demand.
It was seen in prohabition, as it's being seen now, and still, we don't learn.
Do these people actually believe that if guns were banned, as well as ammo, that all would just go away and no crime would be committed. That guns and ammo wouldn't still be obtainable? How can people that seem so smart, be so stupid.

A big part of the issue is that we are not being effective in OUTING these people for being in positions of leadership despite being so naive, stupid or just plain dishonest.
They spout gun control as a plan for eliminating crime.
Clearly it is a flawed plan and can't possibly work -- WE know that.
Thus, they must either be foolish and believe it, or cynical and dishonest and know it's a doomed plan but they push it because it opiates the masses into thinking they, the politicians, are "doing something."
In any case, we need to be exposing these frauds to the light of truth, very publicly -- possibly by out-and-out ridiculing the puerility of their plans.
