woah. double deep irony here: if you give a liberal a long enough rope...........
This has been the case for ages. Plus, NYC has a restriction system that would make the chief in Brookline turn green with envy.I just read into New York LTC's and apparently New York City will not honor NY LTC's unless they personally sign off on it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everytown_for_Gun_SafetyJohn Tkazik, mayor of Poughkeepsie, New York who is a member of the NRA and a former member of MAIG resigned, saying he and 50 others also resigned because "MAIG became a vehicle for Bloomberg to promote his personal gun-control agenda - Violating the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens[...] It did not take long to realize that MAIG’s agenda was much more than ridding felons of illegal guns; that under the guise of helping mayors facing a crime and drug epidemic, MAIG intended to promote confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.
Membership
MAIG membership has dropped 15% since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, from 1,046 members to 885. A statement from MAIG Chairman John Feinblatt said the changes in membership were "just the natural course of events that mayors leave and join our coalition based on the electoral cycle" [59]
I think Bloomberg has missed his target groups by courting the nags. He should really be in touch with the KKK and the white supremacists. I'm sure they could give him some great starting points for dealing with the minorities.
I'm guessing that the Billionaire Bloomingturd will argue that all those guns now possessed by Black inner-city youth were, at one time, sitting unsecured in the homes of white middle aged American men. How else can he connect the two so that he can go after all of our guns?So why does he want to take away this white middle aged American man's guns?
Or at least someone convinced him that he could get away with his new race-based approach based on that line of logic.Bloomberg can get away with this sort of rant because he is complaining about the guns. If he were to complain about the demographics of which sort of person (by age, race and socio-economic status) was more likely to commit a gun crime, he would be considered a racist.

It's why they're called "the left" cuz they have no concept of anyone's "rights"
I'd like to know where that statistic comes from. 95% ??? And what percentage happens with the use of a firearm?
But I am calling bullshit on the 95% figure.

Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25.
Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.
“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”
At one point, the former mayor brought up New York City’s stop-and-frisk practices, which gained national attention in 2011. Bloomberg said that during his last year in office, a minister at a Baptist church in Harlem invited him to speak.
“While I’m sitting there waiting for him to introduce me, he said to his congregation, ‘You know, if every one of you stopped and frisked your kid before they went out at night, the mayor wouldn’t have to do it,'” Bloomberg said. “And so I knew I was going to be okay with that audience.”
Here's the FBI Uniform Crime Report page on homicides in 2013, the most recent year available, should anyone care to see actual facts about how homicide offenders break down by race, age etc.

My very first thought was, isn't it funny Bloomy can make such a remark and {crickets} but if anyone to his political right were even to observe the disproportionate representation of young black males in the stats - let alone suggest selectively disarming them - shitstorm would ensue.
Ha! Good point. He'll just have to start his own organization.From the sounds of his last name, the KKK wouldn't take him either.
Wonder what else he thinks that particular group shouldn't have. ( When the mics are off).

Self entitled douche nozzles shouldn't be Mayors.
So now that everyone knows he's said this....he wants to block people from hearing it. So the audio is here http://dailycaller.com/2015/02/16/h...rying-to-block-from-being-broadcast-audio/?EL
Bunch of cowards.From what I understand they agreed not release the video.
Garbage statistics and racism - a winning combo every time...
