Mayor Bloomberg claims he strongly supports the Second Amendment which is not believable.
Since removing constitutional rights is all the rage now I have to ask: when does dislocation from reality become severe enough to justify involuntary commitment? A good study case is NYCs Mayor Michael Bloomberg who recently uttered a real gem on his weekly radio show. Writes Politicker.com:
I dont think theres anybody thats defended the Second Amendment as much as I have Ray" Mr. Bloomberg said to a caller who asked him why he was so against" the constitutional passage. I think you have a perfect right to buy weapons and keep them for protection or for sport. We have tried to make sure that you have it."
Well take that Wayne LaPierre. You thought you were the point man on gun rights but youre actually outshone by Little Big Gulp who has defended the Second Amendment more than anybody."
Of course this will come as news to Slate which recently penned a piece titled Beating Guns the Bloomberg Way: The New York mayor not Obama knows how to defeat the NRA." The site credits Little Big Gulps example with being the gold standard for the evisceration of the Second Amendment writing that in contrast to Barack Obamas moral approach" to playing puppeteer LBG has been the exemplar of the alternative paternalistic model…." Hey whos ya daddy?
Im not sure what weapons LBG claims to want us to have; maybe the squirt is talking about squirt guns although hes not fond of those if they look too realistic. Heck this is a guy who finds even really large drinks too intimidating because he has to look up at the rim (joke credit to Dennis Miller).
I dont like it when crazies get their hands on guns but its even more frightening when crazies get their hands on gun laws. LBGs assertion is right up there with fellows behind institution walls who insist theyre Napoleon or the Queen of England. Next hell be telling us hes more pro-life than Mother Teresa more of a Confederate than Robert E. Lee and more Christian than the Pope.
It really should be made easier to remove officials from their positions when they show the main warning sign of severe mental instability.
That would be liberalism.
