THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - Gun Control, Idiocy at Work

Special Report: Bloomberg reloads in push for gun control

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

Among the slick, million-dollar ads for the likes of Pepsi and Honda during the Super Bowl this Sunday, viewers in Washington will see a far more modest spot. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be sitting on a couch touting an issue most politicians avoid like the plague: gun control.

The two mayors, whose local teams face off in the big game, are making the pitch for Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), the organization they co-founded in 2006.

Murder has been on the decline in New York and other major American cities for years, but the mayors say they still see too many dead cops and teens. On Tuesday night, Bloomberg was at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan visiting a New York police officer who had just been shot in the face in Brooklyn.

“We have someone who’s dedicated his life to protecting all of us, who has had a much too close brush with death tonight because of what appears to be an illegal gun,” Bloomberg told a news conference. He added that more Americans have been killed by illegal guns since 1968 than were killed in World War II.

Opinion by Martin

As the people of the United States watch the Super Bowl, prepare for the November Elections and just try to make ends meet in the “Obama Economy”, Mayor Bloomberg of New York and his Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) are attempting one more assault on the Second Amendment of the Constitution – Your Right to Own and Bear Arms.

Never mind that, in most countries where private ownership of weapons have been deemed illegal, the crime rate has increased because the “bad guys” don’t pay attention to the laws anyway.

Never mind that, in states where concealed carry is the “Law of the Land” armed robberies, murder, and assault have declined because most of the “bad guys” are cowards and don’t really want to take the chance of facing a citizen who might be armed and able to defend themselves.

Yet, you have a billionaire mayor of a major city spending money trying to convince you that it is the everyday citizen who is the criminal, who is liable to snap and go on a spree robbing and killing people at an accelerated rate.

Using the logic of Bloomberg and the “Brady Bunch” you will soon have automobiles and pickups outlawed because they kill more people than guns on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. 

All citizens mourn the loss of one person killed or wounded by a thug wielding a gun, whether legal or illegal, and we know that a criminal who will shoot a police officer would have no problem turning that weapon on an unarmed victim.  However, by now, the People of the United States should understand that Bloomberg and MAIG, the “Brady Bunch” and other people who are attempting to force Gun Control down your throats are more interested in controlling you than enforcing the laws that are already on the books because “it is easier”. 

There once was a campaign by First Lady Nancy Reagan against Drugs – “Just Say No!”  This is the same approach to use against Bloomberg and his followers.  Tell him to enforce the laws of his City and leave the rest of us alone.  Just Say “NO!”
