The blood of Aurora hadn’t even stopped flowing, and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg was already prepared to blast the media and airwaves with his millions of dollars of anti-gun pap.
He took a page from the Leftist Playbook of Rahm Emanual: “You never want a serious crisis go to waste.”
Clearly, the Bill of Rights can go straight to hell. As can the dead people who became Useful Tools for Mr Mayor.
Never been to NYC, never will.

From Breitbart’s Big Government:
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House of Representatives, suggested to Jason Mattera at a Feb. 13 women’s rights rally that plans for an assault weapons ban and private-sales background checks were only the beginning of a broader gun control agenda extending to handguns as well.
Schakowsky evidently did not recognize Mattera, a conservative video journalist and senior investigative reporter for Talk Radio Network, who infamously confronted Vice President Joe Biden in the Capitol. (Mattera introduced himself to Schakowsky by name but did not indicate that he was filming or that he is conservative.) She spoke to Mattera as if he were a fellow gun control enthusiast–and Mattera played along, eliciting answers about Schakowsky’s enthusiasm for gun control.
It’s no surprise that Demorats, Leftists, Progressives and the Obama Regime wish to abrogate the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, particularly the 2nd Amendment because — once the 2nd falls — the 1st Amendment is up for bid.
And then the individual has no control, and Government ultimate control. One then becomes a Prole, a Groundling, a Serf, a Subject to the King.
In the exchange:
Schakowsky: We’re on a roll now, and I think we’ve got to take the–you know, we’re gonna push as hard as we can and as far as we can.
Mattera: So the assault weapons ban is just the beginning?
Schakowsky: Oh absolutely. I mean, I’m against handguns. We have, in Illinois, the Council Against Handgun… something [Violence]. Yeah, I’m a member of that. So, absolutely.
Mattera: We’ll never get a handgun ban with the Second Amendment as stated.
Schakowsky: I don’t know. I don’t know that we can’t. And there may be an allowance, once again, for communities–I have communities in my district that prohibited handguns within their borders. The rights of municipalities and states to view that as a sensible way to keep people safe–I don’t think it’s precluded.
Clear evidence, in my book.
This is nothing new. Mr Obama himself quite clearly stated that no one should own firearms.
From Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. at CNSNews.com:
In his new book, At the Brink, economist and author John R. Lott Jr., assesses the presidency of Barack Obama and recalls conversations regarding gun laws they had while working at the University of Chicago.
In Chapter Three, Mr. Lott discusses gun-control and takes the reader back to his time at the University of Chicago, where he and then-professor Barack Obama spoke on numerous occasions about guns in America.
“I don’t believe people should be able to own guns,” Obama told Lott one day at the University of Chicago Law School.
(A) chapter (of the book) documents the actions that Obama has taken on guns, citing the following:
Mr Obama has spoken many times. His original words are clear and undiluted: he’s coming for your American rights. He fervently believes that no individual should own any kind of firearm.
As far as Mr Obama in concerned: no American civilian is responsible or can be trusted. No one. Not you. Not me.

From CNSNews.com:
On February 22, “Right Views” reported that a growing number of firearm companies have suspended the sale of guns to states, counties, cities and municipalities that restrict their citizens’ rights to own them.
In just two weeks, the number of companies participating in what has been named the “Firearms Equality Movement,” has more than tripled from 34 companies to 118.
The Police Loophole lists every company and links to the statements that each has released regarding their new policies.
Let me just throw this into the mix: what did the Obama Administration already do regarding private business in America? That’s right, he forced the government into seizure of two of the three largest American automakers, GM and Chrysler. The result no one saw coming or wanted to report? Oh yes, that hundreds of dealerships closed.
A report by issued in July of 2010 by Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program of the Treasury Department, said that both GM and Chrysler needed to shut down some “underperforming dealerships.” But it also said the cuts shouldn’t have been made so fast and during a recession. The report estimated that “tens of thousands of jobs were lost as a result.”
“It is not at all clear that the greatly accelerated pace of the dealership closings during one of the most severe economic downturns in our nation’s history was either necessary for the sake of the companies’ economic survival or prudent for the sake of the nation’s economic recovery,” the report said.
What happens when the Obama Administration can’t get any more Colt or S&W or Ruger or Remington parts or firearms?
I think you can see where I’m going.

P.S.
Dear Readers: today is a commute day. My wife and I are driving to the northern Fornicalia coast near Ft Bragg to stay in a rental house for the next ten days. I’ll be blogging, of course, as I usually do. I just may not have a particularly timely post for tomorrow. At this time of year, where we’re going, the crabbing and whale-watching is usually very good and I hope to acquire some crab in the gullet and some whales in camera and on video.
Yes. You read that correctly. You don’t need glasses. You damned near need a new country, however.
From FoxNews.com:
A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.
The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger management courses every 10 years.
“This is not about guns,” Gibson said. “This is about ammunition and not only for the safety of the general community, but also for the safety of law enforcement.”
Gibson said she’s concerned with citizens stockpiling ammunition, potentially creating dangerous situations should those individuals ever come in contact with law enforcement agencies or criminals.
“It’s about getting people to think, really, about how much ammunition they need,” Gibson said. “It’s a step, I think, in a safer direction. It’s about getting people to think before they buy.”
First, let me state the obvious: this excrement is coming from a black female Demorat. That’s essentially all you need to know. I’d wager this empty suit is public-school educated, though Wikipedia claims she acquired a BA in Criminology from Florida State.
Allow me to proffer some more issues in “obviosity” (just made that up): I’m a cop. And I don’t fear people who may stockpile ammunition. These days I’d simply call them honest, good and true Americans responding to their corruptors in DC.
Apparently, however, her classes neglected to take American history into account and she resoundingly failed to read any of our nation’s foundational documents; you know, the basic ones: the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights. The Federalist Papers? She likely thinks those are what you roll around your dope for a nice, fat joint.
Though I’m not a fan of Michael Savage, he had it right back in 2005 when he stated, before anyone else, that Liberalism is a mental disorder.
There is no cure. And the disease becomes more rampant. The mentally ill, Demorats, Liberals, Progressives, Leftists — their mental disorders cannot be “cured.” It only becomes more catching, like a virulent bubonic plague, when Free Cheese is added to the mix.
As I’ve said many times, you simply cannot make crap like this up. Just when you think you’ve seen or heard the sickest of ideas from the Left, they manage to outdo themselves. It’s as though they not only possess what I call Historical Alzheimers — I’d submit purposely so — but they go out of their way to top each other, weekly, in terms of the most daft, inane, brain-dead, illogical, illegal and outright stupid ideas to craft into some form of law whose sole purpose is to remove more of your freedoms.
I’m guessing that Senator Gibson isn’t a “bad person” per se; she likely doesn’t set stray kittens on fire. But the Demorat culture and Leftism has clearly lobotomized her to the point where she cannot even recognize the documents that created this country. She needs a refresher course in BZ 101 in re the US Constitution and the real purpose behind its creation — positive vs negative rights.
A very brief review of my post:
Thomas Jefferson said: “When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.“
Let that sink in and then percolate for a bit.
