Bloomberg/Today Show 4/16/14

[berettaprofessor]

The Today show today had a live interview of Savanah Guthrie with Michael Bloomberg and Shannon Watts (Moms Against Guns). He announced a 50 million campaign to enlist women in the fight against guns.

I was burning up at every lie from his mouth and had to walk away. In the interview, Bloomberg said "31000 Americans either get murder or commit suicide with illegal guns"....attributing all gun deaths annually to "illegal" guns.

All the buzz words "common-sense" "90% for background check" "and it isn't gun control" "we're not going to take anyone's gun away" "this is what the American public wants".

There was no opposing view....nor any tough questioning...and a lead-in that was a cry fest on Obama's failure to pass gun legislation last year. They even cited the three recent hate-crime shootings in Kansas City as a reason for gun control.

Urge to vomit every time I see his face, let alone full projectile once he opens his mouth.

The level of dishonesty from these antigun loons is staggering. And no surprise that the equally antigun media are eager to carry these lies forward. My churning stomach riles up when I hear him and his buddy in the White House. They make me puke.

 

[Old Fuff]

Hopefully you guys who are upset (and you should be) will remember this when pro-gun organizations, such as the NRA, come around looking for donations (Keeep in mind that Bloomberg is willing to spend 50 million) or ask you to send an e-mail to your own senators or representatives in Washington or elsewhere. You shouldn't just sit on your butts and bluster...

And most important: Register and VOTE!

He is the biggest enemy of personal liberty in the land.

You fight fire with fire so throw some money at gun lobby groups. Join the NRA or whatever your favorite RKBA organization.

On the plus side he is very unlikeable. Even people who may agree with his gun stance see he is a busybody trying to intrude on peoples lives, guns, tobacco, sodas...

But Gun Control is Godly. Says Mr B.

"I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close."—Michael Bloomberg

 

[Romeo 33 Delta]

"Not by works" ... Mr. Bloomberg is in for a RUDE awakening. He don't know what he don't know.

No, I am not going to watch the video. But let me just add that it will be apathy not Bloomberg that will hurt Second Amendment rights. When "moms" showed up in Phoenix to meet the legislature and the Governor to oppose pro gun legislation. Only one person showed up in opposition to "moms'.

Every time these clowns go on TV and rant, make another donation to the NRA and other pro-gun groups. Whether it is just a dollar, five dollars or whatever. Just make a donation. Start raffles at your local gun club or CCW class to give away free NRA memberships.

So Bloomberg has $50 million. How many gun owners are in this country? 100 million? If everyone just gave a dollar. We could buy $100 million in just ad time for our side and really reach out.

Just imagine if all 100 million+ gun owners called Today's phone lines and sent emails in opposition to Bloomberg's appearance.

I had a complete editorial about the media typed and ready to post.
I am going to go High Road instead and just suggest joining and/or donating to the NRA, and changing channels to a real news station.

Please keep political party references out of this thread; I wanted to see that members are aware of this news and I don't want to see the thread discussion locked because it goes off on a political rant. Thanks.

Bloomberg is a real danger to all freedom loving Americans. He would have you eat and drink, smoke what he approves of and do as you are told. Reminds me of another short guy who used force and police to enforce his will.
Problem with that guy is he has too much money to ignore.

 

[SilentStalker]

What's staggering to me is how much time and money has to be wasted to fight for an inalienable right. Period. Think about how much time and money is wasted on this crap, then think about how much that could help some other cause instead of it being wasted. It really pisses me off that I have to spend my valuable free time writing these yahoos and spending my hard earned money for a right that should not even be on the banishing table. It says pretty clearly in the Constitution what the 2nd amendment is and if they went by what it says it to be then there wouldn't be any of this nonsense. The sad part is the second amendment is already cast aside in a matter of speaking. The simple fact that you have to pay for a pistol license to carry, among other things, already proves this. We have already given up enough of our 2nd amendment rights as todays interpretation is a far cry of what I believe the forefathers had in mind when it was written.

I am not even sure it has anything to do with gun ownership or freedom. I believe a lot of this nonsense is cooked up because it is profitable for both sides. As long as we keep spending money on it. Think about it.

 

[Bert Retta]

I would suspect He will be in for a big surprise when He approaches those Pearly Gates ,He states in His comment "If there is a God? Doubt of God will not stand the test for this Foolish man on that Day.

 

[Tommygunn]

It is supposed to be easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven.
That, and Bloomberg's arrogance, will assure the Wicked One will have another amongst his minions.

Amen. I know plenty of Democrats who support gun rights. Alienating potential allies by using partisan political terms to refer to anti-gun folks not only shows a complete lack of political nuance, but it's also a bad strategy that hurts our cause.

 

[cammogunner]

if i evan hear the name bloomberg i think my blood pressure rises dramaticly i dont think to many people are honestly evil in this world bloomberg is one of them the fact he is trying to take away a god given right is evil

 

[kwguy]

He's a fascist. Contribute to the NRA. It's the most powerful, cohesive organization that can hope to compete with his personal, money backed agenda. Of course other organizations (GOA) will fight him as well, but I think the NRA is the most cohesive organization. He has to be stopped. He's dangerous. Don't be complacent where this guy is concerned. He has all the money he could ever want, now he wants power. And the money is simply a tool to get that.

Lets try real hard to stay focused on gun control. Blasting the other party like they are a sub race of humans just makes all of us here look like a bunch of rabid dogs. If you want to blast Bloomberg that's fine with me, I don't think real highly of him either, but we are talking about one guy, not half of the voters in the country. They don't all vote anti-gun.

Wake up.

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

Funny how one VERY RICH guy is willing to spend so much money in order to surpress the Constitutional Rights of so many of us individuals..?

 

[Downeast]

It's amazing how self-serving this guy is. If he really wanted to help people, he could donate the $50 mil to veterans groups, feeding the poor, curing cancer or any other number of worthy causes, but no, for him it is all about him and feeding his out of control ego.

 

[HOOfan_1]

Including suicide is ridiculous...if a person wants to kill themself...they will find a way.

How about the two recent knife attacks. The one in Canada killed 5.

 

[Impureclient]

He wants to make his mark in history. Imagine having $30+ billion and nothing to do with it worthwhile. You probably get so bored
with the power it gives you that it drives you insane. Insane to have control over everybody around you.

 

[Midwest]

All the gun owners in the country combined can out spend him several times over if we all got on the same page.

If anything perhaps his appearance will piss off and finally motivate enough gun owners in this country to get more politically involved and make a huge difference at the polls for our side.

Tell the "Today" show what YOU think about his appearance.

Find out when the next "mom" rally is, and make it a goal to let our side out number their side 10 to 1.

The next time you are at the range ask for a dollar donation each from everyone attending and send it to the NRA, GOA and other Pro-Gun Groups and Organizations.

Do the same if you run a CCW class.

Talk to your neighbors, co-workers, friends and family.
