Mayor Bloomberg: Too Many Guns Caused Times Square Shooting
Posted by Peter Suciu on December 14, 2009 · 1 Comment
It only takes one gun – that being a gun in a criminal’s hand – to be too many. But clearly that isn’t the point that New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg wanted to make with Time magazine. But did Bloomberg make this statement, or is this Time voicing what the mayor might say? The story does suggest that Bloomberg thinks there are too many guns:
“Mayor Michael Bloomberg was asked about the shooting while appearing at a Manhattan charity event, and he used the question to discuss one of his signature issues — illegal firearms and gun violence in New York and other big cities. ‘We’ve got to stop this,’ Bloomberg said. ‘This is one of the great public health threats. And our police officers are clearly in danger.’
Is this really a threat to public health? Frankly we think Bloomberg thinks any gun that belongs to anyone – law abiding or otherwise – is too many. But clearly he doesn’t think that two terms is enough, even if that was the law.

As more and more law abiding citizens are being arrested for having grandpas guns and not knowing that they are illegal in NYC, one is to believe that your are right on that any gun is too many according to this mayor. Approximately a month ago a man on staten island, clearly a hunter was raided, arrested and charged with a multitude of crimes, one being child endangerment because his son also a hunter, had rifles in his bedroom closet. What can one do to protect oneself from the politicians and law enforcement agencies who are looking for any reason to arrest anyone, just to boost their conviction ratios. What a shame. We are supposed to have the best legal justice system in the world. I think it should be called legal injustice system. Thats my opinion.
