Michael Bloomberg, NYC Mayor, Reacts to Colorado Shooting: Do You Agree That It Is Time for Gun Control?

That time passed a while ago. It is far too late.

Put it this way...if (and I literally just mean IF) America had some sort of big downfall or crash and everyone went a bit crazy...well they all have guns. It would be a very unwholesome place to be. However it is too late to prevent that. Most people have guns now. Restricting new people from trying to protect themselves does nothing.

Maybe one should ask the question, why was no one else at the theater armed, so to stop this mad man?

No one in the theater had a gun because guns are not allowed in the theater~ there are signs in the lobby~ and LAW ABIDING CITIZENS usually follow the rules~~ Same thing has happened many times in other shootings @ a restaurant in Texas~@ Ft Hood~~ Columbine etc~ guns are not permitted in most businesses, colleges and schools~

And that is a sad thing...

The anti-gun crowd has SO stigmatized guns as being tools of crime and murder that businesses feel the need to ban them all together... which only leaves them in danger. Because the one who comes in to REALLY rob or massacre your place is NOT gonna follow that useless little sign.

Guns, when owned by sane people, are for defense and protection.

I know, but I carry in most places I go unless there is a sign stating I can not. the only business that I know of that have a posted sign is the Malls and movie theaters

There has been aprox 20,000 laws on guns in the law books in this country---- how about enforcing some of them instead of making more?!

or maybe just stop preventing law abiding citizens from protecting themselves when someone goes wacko? Remember---guns dont kill people---- people kill people.
Plus any real wacko can do way more damage with a car than anybody can with a rifle.

Bloomberg should just stfu, and stick his head back up in his filthy rich "body guard protected" ass.

Absolutely! We should have President Obama announce immediately that he is going to pick up all of our guns and store them in Washington, D.C. at the White House and at Mayor Bloomberg's townhouse in NYC! LOL ! Governor Romney will not even have to campaign any more in order to secure a landslide victory!

Who ever comes to my property, and house for my Guns will not be leaving Alive !
In order to conserve ammunition since it's more expensive per shot now, 1 shot 1 kill is how I'm going to operating to Cancers like you, and the black suited thugs to America that are Treading On Us !
Read the Constitution, and the bill of rights, and stories from founding fathers.
More Guns = Less Crimes = FACT !

He was being sarcastic. At least that is how I comprehended his statement. I imagine he thinks as you do.

But his vote is not; it hurts the stats for No votes.

Tru dat! But on the same token ........... I've noticed other people doing the same thing elswhere here - including moi! ;)

Thank you for your support. I was trying to be funny. I guess that Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel do not have to worry about their networks replacing them with me!

False. I am tired of presenting the abundant statistics that show countries with strict gun laws to have much lower per-capita killings and maiming by bullets than the US.

I will retract this statement if you can show me that Somaia has fewer crimes because of easy access to guns, or if you can show me that Mexico had fewer homicides because of bullets before the proliferation of guns made possible by Americans selling them at gun shows.

Yes, it's time to remove gun restrictions so every red blooded American is responsible for his or her safety, obviously law enforcement can't protect citizens from criminals with guns. Everyone should be armed. How sad that a foolish theater owner declares itself a gun free zone (if that's true) and a armed criminal has free run of the building to indulge in premeditated murder. 911 just can't respond fast enough to help an un-armed citizen facing death from criminals with guns God bless those un-armed, injured citizens and their families.
Bcounted.

If some of the theater goers who hold carry permits had been allowed to bring their guns, they might have been able to stop Holmes before he killed as many people as he did.

THANK YOU!!!!!! it doesnt matter if he was carrying body armor or not. body armor will only protect you for so many rounds. after that it becomes useless. all it would have took was some movie goer to have had their conceiled permit and to have unloaded on Holmes. and in all honesty dont know about anyone else but i personally believe if im gonna go down i might as well go down with a fight

6-8 center mass.
Imagine if 2 or 3 people had been carrying!
or more!!!

This will be spun so hard against guns... but it's guns that would have saved lives on this sad night.

I had a party at my house and one of my friends bust in the door and yelled for everyon to get on the floor. of the 15 or so male friends at the party 6 of us were licensed conceal weapon carriers and 3 of us had our weapons in hand before we realized who it was. fortunate to say, he will NEVER play a joke like that again

The ATF is insane about monitoring the purchase of firearms as well as the restriction of certain weapons for this very reason. theyve set forth a cool off period for the purchase of firearms to prevent spur of the moment homicides, they require firearms purchased to be registered and run background checks on the gun owners and does anyone here even realize how difficult it is to legally obtain automatic weapons and the permits you have to get before even thinking about making these purchases. you keep talking about setting laws to prevent criminals from committing crimes but really just stop and ask yourself. what criminal is going to follow the rules? where theres a will theres a way and sadly bad people take advantage of this. my personal opinion is that the best precaution one can take is to capitalize on and make use of our second ammendmet. we have the right to own and carry a gun with the right permits. if it means we have a chance to protect ourselfs and those we care about from lunatics like this then why dont we?

Yes it is, they should have done that ages ago.
Even with gun controle gun traffic will be still there in the illegal cirkle.
But I'm afraid you will never get this out of the american system it's so ingraint in american society it's going to feel like a amputation. But I'm all for no guns!!!

No, the 'amputation' will be when you are unable to defend yourself and thrown in one of those FEMA camps the gov't has waiting for it's own citizens after the gun ban goes through.

We have very good gun control in our country its called proper breathing sight alignment and trigger pull

Semper Fi

nothing will really change it is our culture,no matter what side you are on we must realize money and greed are the fuel for nut jobs,the internet is the wild west
no holds barred,legislation or not legal or its for sale,drugs,sex slaves,guns,bombs info for destructions all for sale ,it is virtually impossible to police
the us dept of justice is more concerned with banning internet poker,then they are with this

Possession of a weapon for home and self defense should always be a right. However, not all people need all weapons. The ability to purchase body armor, large quantities of ammunition, and automatic weapons should be regulated and scrutinized. In the US, it's easier to buy a gun than to get a driver's license. That is a sad fact.

The sad fact is our gov't kills more people between our own troops sent to defend poppy fields in Afghanistan, the third world children roasted in the name of oil profits, and selling arms to Mexico to start a border wall (Check out Fast and Furious, Obama caught red-handed).

Quote: (Check out Fast and Furious, Obama caught red-handed).



Each side of the government works for their own interest and if things they say resonate with the thinking of the party they supposedly represent, people are fools to believe them. They may sometimes fall in line with their party and it's supporters but mostly the better share of them fall in line with their own best interest.

We have had reasonable men of both left and right persuasions outside the mainstream but people are brainwashed puppets who are manipulated and can not see it.

Curious. What is the source of your comparison?

One gun perhaps!

seriously

Did you miss "..shall not be infringed."?

Exactly my point! Should be amend it.

My bust did not mean to rave but to reply Do you realize that Friday night 130million gun owns in this country did not shoot or kill anyone.

Semper Fi

Rave you back. Do you realize that friday night 130 million gun owners did not shoot, however the potential to kill was there to shoot and kill 130 million people..

Not so these gun owners are your next door neighbor the 69 year old lady walking down the street, the young men standing on the comer The retired vet. They are the people you meet everyday. Those you work with sit next to you in a restaurant or on a train. They are the people of this country that make it great and they obey the laws, But attack them an you will have hell to pay.

Semper Fi.

so was him, James Eagan Holmes was seen by his neighbors as an “everyday guy,” a smart kid who was otherwise unremarkable.

You won't be able to understand until something happens to you, or one of yours. My uncle, a gun collector was killed in a home invasion. Mind you, he had a weapon under his pillow.
My cousin accidentally killed his best friend.

First off there is no such thing as an accidentally killing some on someone had to do something stupid when handling a gun?
As far as Holmes goes he probably was a good kid growing up but something happen there most likely were signs that people overlooked or paid no attention to bottom line 130million again today did not shoot anyone.

Semper Fi

You never know. Let's wait untill tomorrow's news. Only today in LA so far 4 people were shot and killed. Good night
