Coming up on Face The Nation will be Michael Bloomberg talking about guns

[Stinky The Clown]

He says that Obama and Rmoney both need to step up and address the issue.

Do you agree with him on that point?

I do.

1. I think congress does. They make the laws, however I doubt they will. The only purpose of assault

Weapons are to kill people, and as long as the people in this country glorify the macho image of guns nothing will change

[Tejas]

2. His bodyguards carry MACHINEGUNS.

That is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed.

3. Whoa. That's interesting and hypocritical.

I did like his comments on the show, though.

Even so, Bob Shieffer said that most Americans favor unregulated gun ownership.
I don't really believe that, but I guess Shieffer just spouts the rightwing pov.

4. Bloomberg is a hypocrite and a pompous ass. He deserves to be ignored.

[Tejas]

6. Well, when you're spending millions of dollars of other people's money

on Super Bowl ads so you can wave colored guns in the air...

[Comrade_McKenzie]

5. While I agree with him on this subject, I despise the man...

His image on TV makes me sick after what he did to Occupy Wall Street.

[Tejas]

7. Did he invoke Gifford's name again to give himself cred?

[IowaRevolutionary]

8. Bloomberg wants his goons to be the only ones armed

Let's not so soon forget what his brownshirts did to Occupy. Fuck Michael Bloomberg.

10. Hmm, this makes me ask:

What is Bloomberg's motive for speaking out about gun control?

Also, he's not the only mayor to clamp down on OWS, and some of
those bad mayors were Dems too. It makes me want to start
disliking mayors in general, but we're really talking about the entire
political system now aren't we?

11. I wish I could claim credit for this analysis of M. B

but a wiser person than I told me

"He is a petty tyrant who enjoys having his subjects disarmed. he hopes that if he can disarm more subjects he will someday be a greater tyrant."

The day Bloomie gives up his thugs I may start to listen, a little.

9. Probably wants to institute a national "Stop and Frisk" program...

modeled after the one in NYC.

12. Of all the replies, no one answered the fundamental question posed in the OP

"On this point, do you agree with Bloomberg?"

Instead, everyone said why he's a bad guy. I agree he's a bad guy. But on this point, that Obama and Rmoney need address the gun issues, I agree with him.

No one answered that question.
