New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has been one of the strongest voices in favor of stauncher gun laws in his city, and tonight he visited Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss he latest campaign to close down gun show loopholes that allow people on the Terror Watch List to acquire weapons. According to Mayor Bloomberg, Al Qaeda has noticed the loophole and is actively promoting it, at the serious loss to American security.

Mayor Bloomberg is part of a campaign to strengthen gun laws after an Al-Qaeda leader released a video promoting America as a land perfect for buying weapons. “It’s a golden opportunity,” the terrorist tells his followers, partly due to the fact that background checks aren’t required at a gun show, and people on the Terror Watch List can acquire weapons. “Mayors keep going to funerals and giving eulogies,” Bloomberg noted, of policemen killed with illegal weapons, as well as innocent third parties.

O’Donnell asked whether the NRA responded strongly to these claims that more gun control was necessary, and Bloomberg noted that they usually don’t take up this battle because “they’re not about to come out to say the rights of terrorists are greater than the rights of citizens to live safely.” Unlike O’Donnell, Bloomberg was not in favor of across-the-board gun control increases, but explicitly pushing for stronger gun laws against Al Qaeda and other terrorist elements, and for background checks for anyone wanting to purchase a gun.

Mayor Bloomberg also discussed New York’s recently passing of a law permitting same-sex unions, which he noted was “not contrary to the things Republicans stand for,” including “marriage stability” and personal responsibility. “If you want to marry someone,” he concluded, “it’s not the government’s business to tell you who.”

But the terrorists already have guns. Gun laws only prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns. Except the Arizona shooter. And the Virginia Tech shooter.

Lawrence O’Donnell And Mayor Bloomberg Oppose Selling Guns To Terrorists

BINGO! Your post deserves an award.

They oppose selling guns to terrorists? If that be true, why aren’t these to morons demanding a full investigation into Eric Holder’s involvement in Mexican idiocy? What the DOJ is serving up is a scapegoat. American lives were lost because people at the top sanctioned this fiasco! From the top down, the current administration has proved time, and time again that they don’t have a clue!! Their ineptness is no longer a joke, people are dying because of their stupidity!

“Lawrence O’Donnell And Mayor Bloomberg Oppose Selling Guns To Terrorists,” you think!

I mean all those who think it’s a good idea…show of hands…wait, there’s Matthews, Maddow, Mr. Ed.

O’Donnel and Bloomberg on the same show; I think we have a brain wave…

This is a huge load of crap. You can’t go to a gun show and buy a machine gun. You can’t buy any gun from a dealer at a gun show without going through the same process as if you were in his showroom… which includes going through the NICS background check.

Those who claim otherwise have never attended a gun show and purchased a gun there. I have, on several occasions. Asking around quietly who might be willing to sell you a gun off the books is the quickest route to jail I can think of. I encourage terrorists to try so we can round them up that much easier.

Mayor Bloomberg knows all of this, of course. He’s not merely mistaken; he’s just a flat out liar. His personal agenda has trumped the truth and whatever honor he may once have possessed. Now he’s no better than Casey Anthony. Why tell the truth when a lie will do just as well?

Of course, in New York City today few can obtain a handgun permit anyway, leaving law abiding Citizens essentially unConstitutionally disarmed and at the mercy of lawless criminals. These criminals have no intention of obeying the law in the first place and therefore have no inhibitions against illegal firearm possession, after all, what’s the consequence when you’re a criminal? A 1-3 skid bid at an upstate country club? Pu-leeze! The prison system is a real joke of a consequence to that segment of society. They just don’t care because pussy-willow liberals like Bloomberg have made NY prisons into country club crime colleges that are more pleasant to many than the street. Notice Bloomberg says not a word about the lax prison system that does NOTHING to punish felons WHATSOEVER!

Obviously Bloomberg has taken up the globalist illuminati’s crusade against firearms and an armed Citizenry by dishing out anti-gun propaganda in lockstep with the marxist globalist United Nations. It’s also pretty obvious that Bloomberg and his new world order elite globalist friends know that the last hope of a free society is an armed Citizenry that a tyrannical out-of-control government must respect. Maybe that’s why they’re working so hard to spin every situation into an opportunity to disarm law abiding Citizens all across America. http://smashabanana.blogspot.com/
