The other evening, that CNN ratings juggernaut, none other than Piers Morgan, invited New York City mayor, the esteemed "Mr. No More Big Gulp", Michael Bloomberg to join him in there in the studio for what was described as being an honest and revealing discussion in the aftermath of Friday's deadly shooting in Aurora, CO. Knowing, as we do, how it is that both of these ardent defenders of the left feel about the right of the American people to keep and bear arms, it should come as a surprise to no one what they both would like to see being done to severely restrict that right. But what I think might have surprised even some of those in the CNN 'viewing' audience is the lengths to which Bloomberg seems to be very willing to go in accomplishing that endeavor.
And in what was a primetime exclusive interview, we had the head of the executive branch of New York City's government provide what he sees as being the perfect solution for how to go about convincing the American people and it is time to disarm and implement the much stricter gun laws that he says are now necessary here in America: "I don't understand why the police officers across this country don't stand up collectively and say we're going to go on strike," Bloomberg told the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "We're not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what's required to keep us safe." Such a recommendation is at best merely reckless and at worst the most outrageously irresponsible thing I think I have ever heard come from any public official.
This proud advocator of the nanny-state and co-founder of some ludicrous little organization referred to as Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) -- a group that is described as being a coalition of more than 600 mayors fighting illegal gun trafficking and gun violence – Bloomberg said that he is frustrated with the level of dangerous ammunition and supplies that are readily available. Ok, so he views a nationwide police strike as being a fix for that problem? Now I'm not aware of what the political make up of this silly little cadre of misfits might be, but I can sure make a pretty educated guess. I mean look, it doesn't take a genius to realize that there is, most likely, a definite tilting to the left, and that we would find the vast majority in this group as believing exactly as these two do.
Bloomberg, in what I can only assume was an attempt to play on the sentiments of those few who may have been watching this idiotic exchange, said, "Police officers want to go home to their families. And we're doing everything we can to make their job more difficult, but more importantly, more dangerous, by leaving guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them and letting people who have those guns buy things like armor-piercing bullets," he detailed. "The only reason to have an armor-piercing bullet is to go through a bullet-resistant vest. The only people that wear bullet-resistant vests are our police officers." Be that as it may, isn't to actually call for police to go on a nationwide strike as a supposed remedy, like promoting a cure that is significantly more deadly that the disease?
Look, I know we've all heard various politicians say any number of stupid things. But I gotta tell ya, this one ranks right up there with the most bizarre. Because, and I could be wrong here, what do you think would be the very first thing that any rational person would do if suddenly faced with the fact that police were going on strike all across the nation? Besides the fact of considering just how irresponsible, and a blatant dereliction of duty, such an action would be, what would be the only option that we, the citizens of this country, would be left with. Speaking for only myself, the very first thing that I would do would be to go out and buy a gun. A very big gun that held lots and lots of rounds. So I'm just not understanding how this nitwit Bloomberg thinks that such an action would succeed in accomplishing that which he, and every other liberal, wants to take place.
