Bloomberg responded by saying, “There are dumb statements and then there are stupid statements…..I don’t know what the gun would have done.”

And this statement, magically, fits both criteria.

Good thing he’s rich and can hire people to help him wipe his butt and cut his food for him.

So, we absolutely know what not one, but multiple gun laws did. Absolutely nothing.

Shhhhh, you’ll spoil the ending.

“I don’t know what the gun would have done.”

Uh, so, why does Bloomberg have an armed security detail with him at all times?

I have a feeling the gun-grabbers’ hopes of capitalizing on the murders of 20 children and 8 adults isn’t going to get very far. Sensible people saw the tragedy, and decided more guns in responsible hands is the way to go, not gun bans.

“He doesn’t know what a gun would have done?”

Really? I mean, come on, really? Even for a liberal, there had to have been ways to answer that question that didn’t make him come out sounding like the complete tyrannical moron that he is, and he couldn’t think of one of them?

Well, I dunno what a gun LAW would have done…

I think we’ve already seen what a number of gun LAWs accomplished:
The perp was mentally impaired, by law he should not have had a firearm, thus he violated a gun law. He stole the firearm from his mother, breaking another law, he then killed his mother. With a firearm, thus breaking another gun law. He proceeded to a school, a gun-free zone. Upon entering the school grounds with a firearm, he broke multiple state and federal gun laws. He then committed mayhem with those firearms, again breaking multiple state and federal laws and gun laws.

So, we absolutely know what not one, but multiple gun laws did. Absolutely nothing.

Clearly if the Teacher had had a”One gun a month” or a “Gun show loophole” or a “Waiting period” law printed out to wave in the killers face he would surely have put down his weapons and turned himself over to law enforcement.

And we elect these idiots.

Like I’ve pointed out in other news threads…

YOU CAN’T LEGISLATE AWAY EVIL… and to do so is the height of foolishness!

Bloomberg responded by saying, “There are dumb statements and then there are stupid statements…..I don’t know what the gun would have done.”

Well mayor, you just made both in one sentence.

Bloomberg responded by saying, “There are dumb statements and then there are stupid statements…..I don’t know what the gun would have done.”

Then I guess there’s no need for NY cops, right?

And we elect these idiots.

The gun wouldn’t have done anything. It’s an inanimate tool. Much like Mr. Bloomberg.

Ask what might have been done with the gun.

Bloomberg will insist that the only humans capable of successfully returning fire are “trained police” or somesuch nonsense, of course, but at least it will be a half-step in the right direction.

Very nice! +1000

I’ve known people not trained by the police who regularly embarrassed police at shooting competitions.

There are dumb statements and then there are stupid statements…

he describes himself well.

Instead our local troll liberals would prefer she just abide her time and tackle him when he’s reloading.

He is being willfully blind is he not? This the type of person who would make a good Bagdad Bob.
Think what would happen to our country if our military disarmed?
Same principle.
I could bet my life that the monster would have been taken out before he killed those precious babies. Also very possible that he would have thought twice if he knew that there were people inside, including the teachers, with guns.
They were sitting ducks

Bloomberg is a blooming hypocritical idiot. His hired guns are always beside him no matter where he goes.

That’s because he is an elite for which the rules of the common folk don’t apply. The biggest problem in this country is that the common folk don’t know their place.

A gun would have stopped him before he even made it to the classrooms.

We should challenge him to go unarmed…

An armed security guard stopped a movie shooting in my city last night. There was only one innocent victim, who was slightly wounded.

Second, a gun is the equalizer of the world — she wouldn’t have had to face off against him with only her hands.

Bloomberg definitely has a problem.
