If there’s one thing Michael Bloomberg feels comfortable with — besides building a multi-billion dollar market information and media congomerate — it’s pushing gun control. So when he made a campaign appearance yesterday (in Aurora, Colorado…subtle, no?) to roll out his plan for national limits on gun rights, he hit a lot of the same notes he’s been hitting for years.

To establish his gun-grabbing bona fides, Daddy Bloombucks made sure to tout his role as America’s premier financier of the organized gun control movement over the last two decades. Remember that Everytown for Gun Safety, including Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bloomberg advocacy empire.

So when it comes to limiting the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms (not to mention sugary drinks) Mayor Mike has no peer and knows of what he speaks. If elected, he says he’d push all of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complexes favorite “solutions” to “gun violence.” Plus a few.

Those include a national permitting scheme, an “assault weapons” ban, a red flag law, a 48-hour purchase waiting period and more. Oh, and a national campus carry ban, too.

President Mike would appoint a national gun control czar to oversee the never-ending fight against civilian firearms ownership gun violence. He’d also kill off the PLCAA which would open gun makers to death by a thousand guns from the tort bar.

Notable by its absence in Mike’s menu of Second Amendment limitations, however, was…confiscation. That was no oversight. The puny plutocrat didn’t amass a fortune of more than $50 billion by being stupid.

Bloomberg’s saw what happened to lesser lights like Eric Swalwell and Robert Francis O’Rourke, two hoplophobic mouth-breathers who based much of their campaigns on promises to institute mandatory “buy-back” programs (AKA minimally compensated gun confiscation) of assault-y looking semi-automatic guns.

Both campaigns crashed and burned like the Hindenburg after failing to move the electoral needle. They also provided the pro-gun side with a couple of handy poster boys for what we’ve always known gun controllers really wanted all along.

Bloomberg has no intention of giving the other side such an easy, juicy target. Thus he left a “buyback” off his list of policy priorities yesterday.

Don’t be surprised, though, if he’s elected president, when he has a miraculous epiphany shortly after inauguration, deciding that Beto and Nuke ‘Em actually were quite inspired and — come to think of it — a mandatory “buyback” isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Here’s the AP’s account of Bloomberg’s announcement.

By Steve Peoples, Associated Press

Democratic presidential contender Michael Bloomberg unveiled a gun control policy on Thursday just steps from the site of one of Colorado’s worst mass shootings, calling for a ban on all assault weapons, mandatory permits for gun purchasers and a new position in the White House to coordinate gun violence prevention.

“I’ve been all in on the fight against gun violence for 15 years, and I’m just getting started,” Bloomberg declared. “As president, I will work to end the gun violence epidemic once and for all.”

Bloomberg, the billionaire former New York City mayor, entered the Democratic presidential primary less than two weeks ago. Gun violence has quickly emerged as a core issue for his presidential bid, as it has been for his political and philanthropic efforts for much of the last decade. Bloomberg is well known to gun control advocates in Colorado and across the country, where he’s funneled tens of millions of dollars from his personal fortune to help like-minded candidates while creating and supporting gun control groups such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action.

Despite his dedication to the issue, the former Republican is viewed skeptically by many Democratic primary voters, who look at his ties to Wall Street and vast personal wealth with suspicion. Democratic rivals including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in recent days have accused him of trying to buy the election.

At the same time, Bloomberg is pounding the local airwaves in all 50 states with television ads highlighting his work on issues on gun violence and climate change while casting himself as best positioned to defeat Trump next fall. After spending roughly $40 million on an ad campaign over the first week or so of his campaign, he began running a second ad campaign backed by tens of millions of dollars more on Wednesday.

The 77-year-old New Yorker outlined his plan to combat gun violence before an invitation-only audience of about 40 victims of gun violence and gun control activists at a Christian center, near the movie theater in Aurora where a gunman killed 12 people and wounded nearly 60 others in 2012. The speaking lineup included Democratic state Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son, Alex, was killed in the attack.

Sullivan formally endorsed Bloomberg while introducing him Thursday.

“I have witnessed the actions Mike has taken since Alex was murdered,” Sullivan said, insisting that victims of gun violence would have an ally in the White House should Bloomberg win the election.

The policies Bloomberg outlined Thursday largely mirror those he fought for on the state and federal levels in recent years, though it’s the first time he’s released his specific prescription for gun violence as a presidential candidate. T hey are ambitious and would almost certainly face fierce resistance from the NRA and Republicans in Congress, but they are not dramatically different from those of his Democratic rivals.

The difference, Bloomberg said Thursday, is his proven commitment to the issue.

“I promise you I will never back down from this fight,” he said. “That’s the kind of president this country needs and you deserve.”

Among the highlights, Bloomberg’s plan would:

— Reinstate the federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

— Require every gun buyer to obtain a permit before making a purchase.

— Require point-of-sale background checks on all gun purchases while closing the gun show loophole.

— Institute a new age limit of 21 for those wishing to buy handguns, semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.

— Require a mandatory 48-hour waiting period for all gun purchases.

— Institute a federal “red flag” law to deny permits to “troubled people who pose a danger to themselves or others.”

— Institute a temporary ban on gun possession for those convicted of assault or other violent misdemeanors.

— Ban all guns in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, except for law enforcement.

— Reverse the law that gives gun makers and gun dealers immunity from lawsuits.

— Create the position of White House gun coordinator “to mobilize the public to fight gun violence and launch an inter-agency hub to fight gun violence.”

  1. “As president, I will work to end the gun violence epidemic once and for all.”

    ****
    You think you’re going to stop it all, Mr. Bloomberg? Because criminals are gonna criminal no matter what you do. Here’s a story from just this past week in which a felon (who wasn’t supposed to have any guns, ya know) somehow obtained not only a gun, but an entire safe full of them, and then this week got into an argument and killed his girlfriend’s two teenage daughters before putting a bullet into his own head to escape the inevitable response by police.

    https://kfiam640.iheart.com/content/2019-12-05-argument-over-smoking-turns-fatal-when-man-kills-girlfriends-kids-himself/

    So how are you going to end stuff like this “once and for all”????

    • He doesn’t care about criminal activity. He knows who the drug dealers are. It’s all about power over the middle class. The druggies in Chicago are useful to the political mob. Who else are you going to get to do your dirty work? If those druggies started voting republican, that mob would miraculously find all the drug dealers, drug houses and other bad guys and kick them outta town.

  3. NOBODY is going to vote for this dried up sawed off dog turd.

    IF he gets any substantial number of votes it will be PROOF of massive voting machine rigging and voter fraud and we can get this Revolution started.

    • Dried dog shit has a positive contribution to society, in a garden as fertilizer.

      That fuckwit? Not even that…

  5. The racist dirt bag that just told Booker he was ‘well spoken’? Might as well of said that ‘credit to his race’ trope.

    Thank whatever gods you believe in that Trump will be our next president. And hope RBG finally sees the light and retires.

  6. Take all the Guns away from the Legal owners then only the Crooks and Thugs will have guns! It works well to have gun free cities. Chicago: Not one gun store in City. Close as can be a complete Gun Free! About 40 gun crimes a week. Whoa. We are gun free. Yes tell the thugs that. Atlanta: Another gun free City! Dozens of gun crimes weekly. New Orleans: Gun Free! Dozens gun crimes weekly! Baltimore: Gun Free. Dozens almost Dailey. Washington D.C.: Our Nations Capitol! Weekly Gun Crimes. Portland Oregon!: Fairly recent several murders every night. There is not room to post them all. But Micheal Bloomberg is going to take our Guns away to save us. But has no idea how to take guns from Thugs and Hoods!
    NEW YORK CITY: Bloomberg’s own City! He is MAYOR and one of largest Gun Crime City’s in U.S .He is going to save us?

      • Well, actually, they often do. 3D printers might be easy, but they’re not quick. CNC machines and “subtractive machining” are far more productive in how much material they move per minute.

        • There is the lego and Epoxy cast lowers, can make dozens for a few dollars and a little reenforcement with metal strips will make em last 200+ rounds.

    • Simple jig and a small router, drill press or even hand drill are enough. No need for any expensive CNC equipment.
      But never worry, they banned the unregistered 80% builds in California, the rest of the country to follow.

      This wannabe dictator promises to curtail the people’s constitutionally protected rights and the crowd cheers. Sad times.

      • 80% products will surely be banned in the 2nd wave which eliminate CNC for most of us. 3D printing technology is accelerating very fast in the industrial (high $$) segment, the lower end hobby printers are limited by materials, but I expect that will not be an issue in 5-8 years once the market drives the price down.

        Looking at the big picture, the problem with hacking away on the 2A is the same tactics will be used on the other rights. We already see limits being placed on free speech in the private sector / universities / internet. The more we cede on the 2A the more we should expect other individual rights to be limited in the name of public good. Or simply call it socialism to keep it simple.

      • So aluminum products are banned? no more coke can collecting? Brass and other soft metals are all gone?

        A block of aluminum (0% lower) isn’t to far off from an 80% lower

  11. Of course his private security and that of the elites would be exempt. Us little people have to fend for ourselves while criminals stay armed.

  12. Restrictions untill 21 again, they seem to think anyone who is not at least 21 should not be permitted to vape, smoke cigarettes, drink, purchase weapons in quite a few states and on and on.

    But are perfectly willing to consider them adults if charged with a crime, allow them to serve in the military. Force them to be responsible for any debt they incur or paperwork they sign, allow them to vote, serve on juries, drive, execute them if sentenced to death and on and on again.

    To me if you are 18 and want to buy a weapon or drink or ruin your lungs have at it. You considered an adult so why is the nanny state deciding on what rights you can have as an adult?

  14. There IS an epidemic of hyper-sensationalized media reporting of incidents where firearms have been used to do harm by people with bad intentions. There IS an epidemic of false reporting about violent crime, especially crimes involving firearm use. What the left can claim as a miracle of modern propaganda is the total absence of reporting about the millions of cases occurring every year of defensive firearm use.

    Too bad the actual facts seldom get reported. Facts like;

    Murders by people who use firearms have been on a downward track for over 30 years. Recent years show firearm involved murders occur LESS often than any time in American history (as a percentage of population).

    Over half of all firearm involved murders in the USA are committed by young urban black males, and almost all of these murders are related to drug gang activity where black shooters kill black victims.

    Rifles (of all types), including Armalite pattern semi-automatic modern sporting rifles, AK pattern semi-auto rifles, bolt action rifles, antique rifles, even muzzleloading rifles, are used to commit murder fewer than 400 times a year in each of the past 20 years. Fewer murders than those committed by people with knives, or blunt objects, or even fists!

    Schools are safer today than at any time in American history. The numbers of muggings, assaults, rapes, murders, and YES shootings, in US schools are at the lowest percentage of school population EVER! This statistic includes those “mass” shootings the media spends exorbitant time exaggerating.

    School shootings occur globally and the average of ocurrances and loss of life for the rest of the world is much higher than the USA. No school shooting in the USA even comes close to the largest number of casualties in school shootings elsewhere – not even in the worst five! The worst happened in Russia in 2004, when Islamic terrorists killed 385 adults and children and wounded 783 more. By comparison, the worst school shooting in the US happened in 2007 when an unstable Korean immigrant killed 32 people in college classrooms using two handguns.

    Statistics on US shootings are available at fbi.gov (see statistics). Date on global shootings is out there – google it!

  15. Tel these asses if they go after gun companies we will sue every automaker for drunken drivers, any accident attributable to possible recall problems AND the cherry on top will be to sue them for a century of pollution!

    • “Tel these asses if they go after gun companies we will sue every automaker for drunken drivers, any accident attributable to possible recall problems AND the cherry on top will be to sue them for a century of pollution!”

      Then you want to do the leftist’s work for them?

      They want and plan to outlaw cars. Cars give too much freedom. They want to force people into high rise building in big cities riding public transportation. It is all about control.

  16. Better we sue politicians for the damages they have caused in San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Detroit , Baltimore and other places they have ruined.

    • Sorry but the corrupt filthy rich that shipped jobs overseas ruined our big cities. In the days of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s I walked down the streets of some of our big cities in past decades and it was far less dangerous than today because even uneducated people had high paying manufacturing jobs. Today we have had as many as 4 generations that have never had a decent paying jobs while the filthy rich in the last 50 years have doubled their wealth at the expense of the working man. Its corruption beyond anything America has ever seen in its past history.

      • There you are, lying again. You’re not much more than 30, if that. If you have to lie then you have no valid point.

      • “Sorry but the corrupt filthy rich that shipped jobs overseas ruined our big cities.”

        *snort* 😉

        Funny how the big cities run by ‘Progressives’ are the ones with sidewalks *LITERALLY* covered in human shit, while not one metropolis run by a conservative has that problem.

        I hate to say it, but I *really* hope someone in San Fran gets hepatitis and sues the hell out of the San Fran government for allowing disease-covered sidewalks to exist…

      • Are all criminals even trying to get a decent job? Why are some able to get away from the hood and raise their family in a normal environment? Why are many not even trying, while the medias and some politicians love to make them believe it’s whitey’s fault.

      • STFU crisco kid, the unrepentant liar. Or, should I call you vlad tepes, the racist?

        It’s not hard spot your bigotry and socialist drivel. You could at least try a little harder to make it so not obvious. It’s embarrassing.

        Sorry, but the DemoKKKrats that shipped the jobs overseas ruined the big cities are also ALLOWING the criminal element to flourish in their worst-hit neighborhoods. I rightly and sincerelydoubt you’re much older than I am, in your mid-30s, tops. As others have already dictated to you, these big cities have been almost exclusively run by DemoKKKrats since the 50s and 60s. All of these problems lay squarely at THEIR feet — and no one else’s. Shut the fuck up.

      • Your inner communist is showing again, crisco! So much hate for the successful and wealthy…
        It is true that the rich got richer. But the poor and middle class got richer too and much faster. There was never a time in human history when so many people had so high standard of living. All thanks to capitalism and free trade.

        Billionaires didn’t steal their fortunes from the working man. That’s your commie indoctrination speaking. They got rich by providing services and goods which other people wanted more than their money, so they voluntarily traded to mutual benefit.

        What I don’t understand is that after all those examples of every single communist regime turning into bankrupt murderous hellhole, we still hear the same idiotic ideas proclaimed with a straight face. It blows one’s mind how come that self proclaimed socialists are voted into the Congress and even considered as a presidential material instead of publically ridiculed and disdained.

  17. U.S.Political elections are the most corrupt in the Industrialized world. The corrupt government was intentionally set up that way after the American Revolution was over. The Corrupt Greed Monger Criminal Founders first agenda was to destroy any semblance of Democracy. In short they established an Oligarchy of the filthy rich which remains in place to this very day. They called Democracy “mob rule” and denied the common man the right to vote. Later in time when political pressure by the proletariat demanded more of a say in the government they reluctantly let men vote but in order to nullify any power granted to them by the vote they then instituted the corrupt gerrymandering practice and the corrupt Electoral College once again making a complete mockery of Democracy.

    The 2020 elections are not about “if” we have a Democratic President but “who” that President will be. Biden will not last through the primaries as he is seen a a doddering old man on the edge of senility and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are seen as way too far to the Left. Buttigieg has a lot of prejudicial people against him because of his homosexuality which includes the Black vote who seem to be lining up against him. The Dems know Buttigieg is a loser for their side. That leaves only Bloomberg and Steyer with Steyer the weaker of the two candidates both in terms of the wealth required to buy the Presidency and the ability to compete with the more well known Bloomberg.

    Trump has made so many enemies his run for re-election is a laughable joke.

    Latest surveys show 73 per cent of the Women are against him,

    the farmers he bankrupted are against him,

    the east coast fishermen are against him as their business is down 50 per cent
    because of China’s retaliation in Trumps idiotic trade war,

    the Blacks are against Trump and so are most of the Latino’s.

    Independents that voted for Trump in the last election are frightened and appalled by him eliciting foreign aid in the 2016 elections from Russia and trying to get Ukrainian help for the 2020 elections and Moscow Mitch McConnells refusal to buy Russian proof election machines and with insult added to injury and outrage Juliana is now as I type these lines once again in the Ukraine trying to dig up dirt on Biden which is ridiculous as Biden will not even be the candidate for the Presidency and Julliana has only guaranteed himself that he will be in prison after 2020.

    The rot, corruption and criminal activity during the Trump years will go down in history as the most obscene period in all of America’s political history and the most dangerous to the American way of life. The Rise and Fall of the American Empire seems to be ever closer to happening and seems to be teetering back and forth on the edge of an abyss.

    I predict it will be Bloomberg that will be elected and the only thing that will save gun owners from draconian gun laws are control of the Senate by the Republicans and with the the Republican voters now 90 per cent in favor of more gun laws its a certainty the Republicans in the Senate will allow some gun control to pass after the 2020 elections and if by some miracle the Democrats would win the Senate gun ownership will be severely curtailed in the U.S. Japans draconian gun laws will then seem anemic by comparison.

    The fantasy that the courts will save the 2A is only a pipe dream as the Dems are going to retaliate against Moscow Mitch McConnell for his dirty underhanded trick of preventing Obama’s Supreme Court Judge from even getting a hearing. The Supreme Court will be packed with new members to break the strangle hold the Republicans now have on the court and new witnesses will come forth and cause Kavanaugh to be impeached for lying to Congress about his rapist drunken brawls while in college.

    In short big money buys U.S. elections and Bloomberg is certain to be elected President. Trump will only be an obscene memory whose damage to the country, its freedoms, its safety, that was jeopardized both in regards to our allies now refusing to share intelligence information with us and with an avalanche of more pollution when Trump destroyed Obama’s environmental reforms and Trumps destruction and sabotage of our good relations with our allies will take years if not decades to repair. Trumps attempt to operate above the law and act as a King will land him in jail for the rest of his life. The very survival of America and its way of life depend on the Fall of Herr Drumpf and his Gangster Criminal operations and his criminal corrupt political cronies.

    End of story.

    Buckle up gun owners its going to be a rough ride in 2020.

    • “U.S.Political elections are the most corrupt in the Industrialized world.”

      That’s the one part you got right. Elections in Democrat strongholds are corrupt to the core. Like how 400+ voters vote in a precinct that only has 200 registered voters.

      The way magical boxes stuffed with votes suddenly turn up out of nowhere, suddenly giving a Democrat a lead in an election. You know, the way Al Franken won his…

    • Vlad Crisco you also predicted Trump would be impeached in November and Kamala Harris would be president.

      • to Merle

        I never said she would be President. Documentation? Of course not your fking liar.

    • Arrrrrgh! Point proven. I am starting to miss the original Vlad. (Crap! Did I really say that?)

    • Lolz.

      You think Kentucky voters are going to kick out Mitch because he didn’t appoint Obama’s SC nominee? Like him or not, Mitch ain’t going anywhere until he decides to retire or die.

      • Ha that’s a laugh. He was at a rally in his home state and almost got run right out of the room as his constituents were all screaming “Moscow Mitch”, Moscow Mitch, Moscow Mitch. That should tell even a mental midget he is in deep shit for reelection. He is the most corrupt politician in decades. Like most of the weirdo’s of his ilk he hates all non-white people , even Americans with a passion but married an Asian Woman. It reminds me of the racist news commentator (Lou Snobs) on Foxy News a few years ago that ranted so much against Mexicans they kicked him off the air and now he resides in a small flea bitten radio station but is married to guess what “A Mexican Wife.”. I think these people all have sub-conscience guilt over their rabid racism so they marry the very people they rant against.

    • Thank you for this little window into your mind. You know, criscovlad, I actually feel sorry for you, it must be terrible to live in your head.

  19. Leftwing conspiracy.

    While our Country is not perfect, we have many risking life and limb to come here because it is better from where they are coming from.

    DU is full of people like you, deranged, dangerous and ungrateful.

    • Sorry but you do not live in the real world. When Herr Drumpf made the idiotic statement that instead of letting Africans come here because they came from shit hole countries and that he was considering letting People from Denmark come here (perfect racism) the Danes were laughing and rolling in the isles and going on Danish TV and stating they would not even ever consider coming to the U.S. that has one of the highest gun homicide rates in the industrialized world as well has having no social safety nets that resulted last year in 150,000 people dying like dogs in the street from unaffordable health care and anther 5 million going bankrupt because of out of control drug prices.

      The Danes are aware of our inferior educational system as well and the proof of it is that American children score lower than the European Children and most Asian Children and that adds insult to injury because American children go bankrupt while attending an inferior unaffordable educational system..

      In Short the Danes as well as most other European Countries know more about how big a shit hole the U.S. is than the many of the ignorant Hillbillies that live in the U.S. and laughably they still believe the U.S. is the best country to live in. For the filthy rich this is true but not for the working man. He is for the most part a troglodyte worker slaving away at part time minimum wage job at the U.S. workers Capitalvanian paradise called Walmart with no days off, no holiday pay, no vacations and of course no retirement. If previous generations could return from the dead they would not even recognize or make themselves believe that they were in the America of today. Capitalvanian Serfdom is alive and well in 21st Century America and it impoverishes the people more and more every year.

      • You can’t even come up with good lies. You fascists are all alike. Lie, lie, lie.

        Long winded jackanapes.

      • “People from Denmark come here (perfect racism) the Danes were laughing and rolling in the isles and going on Danish TV and stating they would not even ever consider coming to the U.S.”

        You’re busted!

        I know of a Dane who wants nothing more than to be an American citizen, to live in this free country, and to shoot the guns he wants, when he wants.

        But he can’t, because of the long wait in line to get in…

      • You have some valid points, and Trump wasn’t smart to use Denmark in his statement as the humiliation was almost certain, but do you know how much the average worker pays in taxes in Denmark? Their superior education system, healthcare, and pensions are not financed by some generous billionaires. Denmark is also a very small country with a small population, what works there may not work in our nation.
        The rate of violent crimes involving firearms is pretty low in some of our states, where people are also not starving. Most of the problems you mention are found in the bigger metro areas, and most of these cities have been managed by democrats for years. Liberals propose absolutely nothing to lower the cost of medication and services, which would be the foundation of an health insurance system similar to what they have in many European countries. Using a similar system, financed by the taxpayers, to cover services and products that cost 5 to 10 times more in the US versus France, Germany, etc will simply not work. As with “gun control,” liberals fail to see the obvious, or at least they avoid it knowing most voters don’t have a clue anyway. Liberals, just like republicans, profit from lobbying. They have no interest in forcing pharmaceutical groups, clinics, etc to lower their bills.
        Socialism impoverishes the people too, in a different, more insidious way. A government employee in France gets something like 2 months worth of paid vacation per year, but many are too broke to go anywhere, so they spend it watching TV and enjoying the French equivalent of walmart. In case you missed it, thousands of French have been protesting every weekend for months. They have very little freedom, no equivalent to Second Amendment yet they get slaughtered in downtown Paris by crazies armed with fully auto AK rifles, they have a parody of First Amendment as they need a permit in order to protest legally and you can get charged with a crime if you say “screw you” to a cop, there are random police checkpoints and they need no legal reason to stop a vehicle and ask for your license, insurance and registration, the French pay a yearly tax for owning a television, cost of living goes up as it does in most of the western world, and their salaries are not keeping up with it, gas is outrageously expensive. French thugs have guns, all kind of guns, years ago in a small town south of France they blew a car with a rocket launcher, I guess “gun control” doesn’t work there either when criminals decide to play. In Spain, another socialist heaven, the unemployment rate of the young population has been over 20%, yes 20%, for years. Italy also has its issues where thousands of people are sick and tired of….Africans, and it really isn’t Trump’s fault. Finally, I think the Danes are arrogant. I watched Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown in Copenhagen, and the folks he was interviewing were the most obnoxious and arrogant I have ever seen in his show. The Swedes are a bit like that too, but reality has hit them in the face those past years, with the hordes of “refugees” raping their women by the dozen and turning entire neighborhoods into shariah zones. Have you ever lived outside the U.S? I did, and I can tell with pride our nation is not a sh*thole.

        • Side note: When Anthony Bourdain hit San Francisco, his opening line was “This is a filthy town.”

          I would suggest you turn on a secret and new invention called a TV. Liberals have pointed out that just taxing the super rich Billionaires just 5 per cent would pay for most health care. The Gangster Criminal Republicans scream it would destroy the economy but 1950’s History under Eisenhower a Republican President taxed some categories for the rich a whopping 90 per cent and the economy was booming and the working man made more money as opposed to today when inflation is taken into consideration. Sorry Try again History proves you wrong.

          Good God man are you on drugs. The Liberals have programs to crush the greedy gangster criminal drug companies including beating the no good bastards to their knees by simply letting in foreign drugs. After all the Gangster Criminal Republicans ship jobs overseas every day and tell the worker troglodyte drones they have to lower their standard of living in the 21st Century to make the Obscene Rich more wealthy , well that works two ways. The rich should have to compete with foreign competition as well. You would see how fast these drug manufacturer criminals would suddenly lower their prices.

          What a fking laugh. I suggest you turn on France24 news in July the entire damn country shuts down for summer vacation and the French do not just stay in their own country during that time.

          This is too easy if you knew anything about France this would not be so elementary. Fact is their mass murders are way lower than ours and the incidents they did have which were few in number were financed and run by a Middle East Country while our mass murder is home grown and happens every other week in the U.S. You would realize how ridiculous your statement is if you knew anything at all about the incidents that took place. Really quit making a fool of yourself.

          quote——————–they have a parody of First Amendment as they need a permit in order to protest legally and you can get charged with a crime if you say “screw you” to a cop, ——————-quote

          Wrong Jethro turn off watching the re-runs of the Beverly Hillbillies and pay attention to this. Studies show the French have greater First Amendment rights than we do because they do not have the slander and libel laws we have which prevents our news papers from printing a lot of news.

          quote————there are random police checkpoints and they need no legal reason to stop a vehicle and ask for your license, insurance and registration, ———–quote

          Where to you live Jethro in Podunk Junction. The cops do that every day here in the U.S. Really your starting to sound like you are on drugs today.

          quote—————the French pay a yearly tax for owning a television, cost of living goes up as it does in most of the western world, and their salaries are not keeping up with it, gas is outrageously expensive. French thugs have guns, all kind of guns, years ago in a small town south of France they blew a car with a rocket launcher, I guess “gun control” doesn’t work there either when criminals decide to play.—————–quote

          Again your always making a complete fool of yourself. While it is true on the surface the French pay more taxes but in the long run their social programs prevent them from going bankrupt in regards to any of their bills. Lower income people get rent subsides, heating subsides, gasoline subsides, lower cost education, and their medical and drug bills are a fraction of what ours are. Last week one Ex-pat American woman smart enough to say fk living in the U.S. went to the emergency room in France and she had no knee deep paperwork, talked to a nurse immediately and saw a doctor immediate and was treated for two days and her total bill was a whopping equivalent of $28.00 which in the U.S. would have been thousands. In other words higher taxes in France are well worth the tremendous benefits they get. And you failed to mention that when people show up with rocket launchers they are outlawed in France and when they do show up its financed by other terrorist countries. Try again Jethro.

          Quote————-I watched Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown in Copenhagen, and the folks he was interviewing were the most obnoxious and arrogant I have ever seen in his show. The Swedes are a bit like that too, but reality has hit them in the face those past years, with the hordes of “refugees” raping their women by the dozen and turning entire neighborhoods into shariah zones.——————-quote

          Your the typical Trumpite rabid racist. I find your remarks about the Anthony Bourdaine show laughable. I too watched all his European shows and what you are screaming about is the anger you experience when you had to listen to them speak about how superior their lives are compared to ours. Sorry thats not called being arrogant its point out to you what a complete shit hole the U.S. really is to live in and yes I know you got upset because you were forced to face the truth head on. Shook you up didn’t it.

          ————-quote————— Have you ever lived outside the U.S? I did, and I can tell with pride our nation is not a sh*thole.————-quote ———————

          If you really did live outside the U.S. I am willing to bet you are referring to being in the Military. So a few hours shore leave Jethro does not qualify you to comment on Western European counties. As a matter of fact I know quite a few people who were sent to rich Western European countries by their U.S. companies and when they were called home they stayed in Europe. They have told me the work atmosphere is very relaxed with no threats , yelling and screaming, the benefits fabulous, the crime way lower, its actually safe to walk most of the streets even in the bigger cities. Yes the really big cities do have bad sections but they pale in comparison to the lawlessness in the U.S I would personally not walk down the streets in Chicago or Cleveland with a bullet proof vest on and a German MG42 machine gun but I have been in some poor East European countries downtown in cities bigger than Cleveland and even the women were relaxed and not looking over their shoulders like they do here. I never had any problems there but I sure have been attacked in Shit hole U.S.A. too many times in my life to even recall it all.

          In conclusion you never lived in Europe because you never would have made the ignorant and racist statements you did. Next time try doing a little research before you go off on a racist, arrogant rant and try watching some European News Programs for a change ,there are other news programs besides State Run Fox News finnaced and blessed by Vladmir Putin and his prostitute Herr Drumpf.

      • Education Failure in the United States is solely the responsibility of the Left who have had a virtual monopoly on education power for the last 75 years.

        • Really. And for decades, in order to obtain a teaching certificate, you had to be certifiably looney-left. Then you had to demonstrate it again in order to get a job. And you might be fired if you do not regularly shout it from the rooftops. So, obviously, some real idiots want to blame education failures on the *right*!!

      • How is Dane a race? Oh, you mean there are almost no blacks in Denmark, right? Hmm, I wonder if that has anything to do with the difference in violent crime rates. After all we know who commits majority of violent crimes here in US.

        Why you had to use the qualifier “industrialized” nation when comparing “gun violence” rates? (Mexico, Russia and Brazil would not be pleased if they heard you calling them not industrialized.) USA is around the middle of the pack if you compare all countries.

        We get it – you hate America, you hate the rich (I assure you, there is nothing filthy about being rich), you hate our freedom and our way of life about which you know very little.
        Some will be rather taken care of, than be free to succeed or fail. There are countries that cater to such weak and lazy people. But this is America. Why do you keep visiting American sites and spreading your disgusting communist bullcrap?

        • Yes I know how paranoid and frightened the Far Right people are when it comes to watching foreign news programs.. I suggest you start watching some news programs beside State Run Fox news. Try watching sometime France24 News, DW News, BBC, Aljizera , NHK World, Tokyo News, and NPR in the U.S. You will not of course because you fear seeing that other Countries often do things and have things we do not have and it would shake you up to much.

        • Thank you for your list of recommended leftist outlets. I don’t plan on watching any of them. Not out of fear of learning something new, simply because I have seen and heard enough leftist crap in my life. Most of it during first 18 years of it, which I spent growing up in a communist controlled socialist country. My personal experiences with socialism thought me all I need to know about its evils and about people who push it.
          Some think that Serge’s comments about communists are a bit too strongly worded and extreme. I don’t. He knows what he’s talking about.

  23. Socialists love to push more of what doesn’t work, and they usually do it with other people money. More background checks that still won’t predict the future with buyers who have a clean record but may lose their mind one day. Also, more permits/licenses although it has zero effects on criminals who, by definition, ignore laws and regulations. Perhaps the most important point here is “ban assault weapons,” notice we are no longer talking “assault rifles.” A semi auto handgun might eventually be considered an “assault weapon.” Ultimately, the socialists want you to be be able to carry a mace and nothing else, it won’t take the guns off the hands of criminals and psychos highly motivated to acquire them, but it will help in ensuring the normal folks stays in line.

  24. “48-hour purchase waiting period”
    Will that preempt Florida’s 5 day (effectively one week because weekends aren’t counted) waiting period? Is that how he is trying to woo my vote?

    • Maybe libtards don’t believe there are 24hrs in a day. You know, they are smarter and more educated, they already know there are something like 55 genders.

    • Don’t be silly. Obviously you’ll have to wait for the federal 48 hr waiting period to expire before you can start the 5 day state waiting period. Duh.

    • We already have 72 hours waiting periods here in Illinois. That’s why the state is such a tranquil and peaceful place.

  26. he knows NYC…but has little knowledge of the rest of America…or the average voter…what’s funny is that he thinks people actually like him!….

  27. I am not Muslim, but once I read that ‘Caliph Umar has been reported to have said: “O Muslims, straighten me with your hands when I go wrong”, and at that instance a Muslim man stood up and said “O Amir al-Mu’minin (Leader of the Believers) if you are not straightened by our hands we will use our sword to straighten you!”. Hearing this Caliph Umar said “Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) I have such followers.”’
    That very succinctly is the meaning and purpose of the Second Amendment, it is not just an American invention in isolation; it is an ancient idea that crosses cultures and continents.

  28. Bloomberg’s not out to win the nomination. He got in to make sure the Dem field remains divided, and none of the Socialists who want to take his billions get anywhere near the Presidency.

  29. To the White Chiefs, “But these things you say you will give us We already have.” ,,, Federal Permits= 4473,,Assault Weapon ban, I cannot buy Assault Weapon in Wal-Mart or Dicks. You must have fed permission. You say nothing that isn’t already there.

  30. Now how to get 120 million gun owners to comply?

    How to register and confiscate 400-660 million firearms?

    Who and how many will it take to enforce it?

    How many won’t enforce it?

    How many will not comply?

    What are the chances you ignite Civil War? 100%.

    • Hope not. Guy turned up to a half million people into felons. People who likely voted for him…

      We are, very unfortunately, locked into the lesser of two evils scenario about to play out so we will do what we have to do. That can’t go on forever, eventually we still lose.

  33. And don’t forget, he supports mandatory vaccinations. That should make more than a few here very happy.

    • PeeGeeTwo,

      Trump really seems to have betrayed us on that one. I wonder how the First Lady reacted to that turn-about.

      As always, the people who want to take away our medical freedoms, want to force green-new-deal burgers down our throats, and want to take our guns.

      • Yes, Trumps is part of the system , not an adversary to it. We’ll have mandatory vaccines for everyone sooner than later, as we will be forced to eat increasingly cheaper, toxic people pulling the strings want us unhealthy and compliant. Not sure how many profiles that post here are legitimate profiles, but like all other online forums, especially those that deal with liberty/freedom material, this one is heavily trolled by fake accounts allegedly supporting gun rights while supporting big government and elimination of rights everywhere else.

  36. By this time next year you Jethro’s worst nightmare will be realized. When Bloomberg is sworn in, the age of Socialist America will begin. The Testosterone fueled aggressive nature of you white racist/supremacist will be castrated. All your items of aggression will be illegal in the eyes of the law. You will no longer be able to threaten or bully people of color or immigrants or the indigenous of this country. While Kamala Harris may not be our next president her ideas of a just and fair society will be the map by which this country follows. It is only a matter of a few years before guns are completely outlawed. Jethro’s will have no where to run and no where to hide. The blue wave is upon us. Socialists of America will rejoice in our victory over the Hillbilly mentality.

    • Vlad, you’re a caricature of a caricature. It’s not funny or interesting, just tiresome clutter on the screen.

      • Wake up that is not the real Vlad he had a avatar. This clown is a kid playing on his computer in his mothers basement. He is really Excedrine, that’s obvious from his juvenile posts. He always gets on the computer at the same time when he gets home from school.

        • It hurts doesn’t it? The fact that in a year’s time you’re going to have a president that will sweep aside the 2nd Amendment AND the constitution in favor of a a social justice system. How does it feel to know that many of your guns (AR-15’s) will now be illegal in the eyes of the federal government? How does it feel to know that the heaviest restrictions on buying a gun, carrying a gun, selling a gun, buying parts for a gun, will begin in the year 2021? You Jethro’s don’t vote and don’t have the brains to understand what’s going to happen to you all. Merry Christmas.

  39. Here is one not mentioned from:

    https://www.mikebloomberg.com/policies/gun-safety?gclid=CjwKCAiAuK3vBRBOEiwA1IMhuh9xW9LT4IAQ6tlQBl-_DvJ7jPfHWluj8goJWlhJhTo0I3PF_3iFZBoCv-EQAvD_BwE

    Require all gun owners must report to police if their firearms have been lost or stolen, within 3 days after they know or should know that their guns are missing.

    So who will determine “or should know that their guns are missing.”

    I don’t know about the rest of you buy I don’t inventory all my personal possessions every three days. A person who ones one firearm would probably notice in a short amount of time that said firearm was missing but a high percentage of firearm owners own multiple if not several firearms and may not notice for a fairly lengthy amount of time. Under Bloomberg it sounds like a prosecutor, judge, or police would determine if you “should have known” a firearm was missing. Yet the federal government routinely seems to misplace a lot of stuff including military equipment and billions of dollars. What a bunch of BS.

    • Require all gun owners must report to police if their firearms have been lost or stolen, within 3 days after they know or should know that their guns are missing.

      What is wrong with requiring people to report crimes?

      Are you aware of how often rapes go unreported? Imagine if there was a law requiring rape victims to report their rapes to the police within three days?

      • “What is wrong with requiring people to report crimes?”

        What’s wrong is punishing victims of crime.

        Side note: Had a great time at Star Wars Land myself (and family). Also liked the food at Docking Bay 7.

        • I absolutely love the Felucian Garden Spread.

          Usually, when going to Disneyland, I simply get the cheap food, like pretzels or the Banyan Beef Skewers. But I am willing to pay more for unique food items not commonly available in restaurants.

      • Upon review, I realized I think you were making the same point I was about punishing victims.

  40. Yeah I think Bloomberg is polling behind Kamala Harris even though she dropped out of the race. He has charisma of moldy turnip.

  41. One of my Christmas wishes is that everyone calling that Dh Gloomberg president, it is quite nauseous and irritating.

  43. So apparently, Bloomberg’s apology about stop-and-frisk was insincere.

    He had no newfound appreciation for civil liberties; he just wantesd to appease one of the factions of the Democratic base.

  44. A lot of crap in his disarmament plan, let’s not overlook his intent to disarm Trained School Staff/Teachers! He wants to disarm persons on-site at schools AND remove the aceoss the board deterrent effect.
