Forming a rare alliance with his predecessor, Mayor de Blasio is joining the gun-control advocacy group founded and funded by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Daily News has learned.
A rare alliance would be a sheep making love to a wolf. Bloomberg is a gun-hating crony capitalist, DeBlasio is a gun-hating Marxist-Sandinist, it’s a marriage made in hell, people. Why is The Daily News surprised? In fact, one of the rules of journalism is that you’re supposed to avoid adjectives. “Forming an alliance with his predecessor” is how the sentence should be. “Rare” is an adjective, it’s OPINION which belongs to the opinion section or a blog.
Often critical of the previous administration, de Blasio told The News he’s a big supporter of Bloomberg’s high-profile push for stronger gun control measures.
“Mayor Bloomberg took on this fight when few others would, and today we are safer for it,” de Blasio said in a statement to The News. “He built a national movement for common-sense gun control — one I am proud to join.”
Safer? New Yorkers victimized by crime will disagree. Tell that to the woman who was raped because she didn’t have a gun, I’m sure she’s thanking Bloomberg now.
De Blasio said he plans to focus on two issues once he joins the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He wants to work with the state’s two Democratic U.S. senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, in their fight to increase penalties for “straw” purchases of guns by one individual for another buyer.
De Blasio also wants to work on keeping guns away from the mentally ill and those who have been convicted of domestic violence.
These people are full of crap, if you are convicted of domestic violence that’s a felony, which means you’re no longer allowed to keep and bear arms. The gall of this people, they try to fool the people with issues that sound like “common sense” until you think about them
Straw purchases? It’s already against the law to buy a gun for someone else.
The mentally ill? A court has to judge you mentally ill and put you in the loony bin, having Apergers, Autism, depression, does not make you mentally ill.
So let me tell the uninvolved gun owner this, the one who thinks people like me are full of paranoia and we should just compromise with MAIG. When was the last time MAIG supported concealed carry, armed guards in school, tort reform, not suing gun companies into oblivion, the end of gun-free zones? You know the answer, they never have, never will.
MAIG is your enemy, MAIG hates you. Bloomberg and his fascist a-holes have never reached out to the NRA, they have never tried to understand our point of view, they hate our 2A, hate the American independent spirit, and I’m glad to hate them back.
