Typical elitist hypocrisy
« on: January 29, 2013, 01:00:17 AM »
In an explosive exchange outside the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington, D.C., security guards for billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg accosted senior Talk Radio Network investigative reporter Jason Mattera when he asked the mayor about his strong support for gun control. In the video, Bloomberg is seen surrounded by security. Mattera approaches Bloomberg and asks, "In the spirit of gun control, will you disarm your entire security team?" Bloomberg's reply:  "Uh, you, we'll get right back to you." "Why can you defend yourself but not the majority of Americans?" Mattera asks as the mayor walks away. "Look at the team of security you've got.  And you're an advocate for gun control?"

When Bloomberg's security team or the Secret Service go on a rampage and massacre schoolchildren, then this silly argument would make sense.

Until that happens, it is just stupid.

Mattera isn't associated with the NRA , he is more a Breitbart, O'Keefe kind of guy.

This is an NRA theme. Did you see the NRA ad about the President's children going to a school that had armed security? Same theme.

Mattera is a blue state resident. Who am i to question the nuances of his humor.

Perhaps you do spend a lot of time in a gun free zone, I don't know about you.


How many mayors of big citys , Congresspersons, senior executives of government and industry  , big name entertainers and Royal persons spend not a single moment in a gun free environment?

Who cares?

This is about as silly a bit of nonsense as you gun nuts have ever posted.

Can't answer a simple question, so deflect with still more irrational proclamations.....SOP.  Should have answered "What difference does it make?"

Resolved> Gun free zones are a special hazard, almost all multiple shootings ocur in gun free zones.

I imagine that I do indeed spend most of my time in gun free zones, or better yet, gun nut-free zones. Meaning zones free from gun nuts, not zones in which the guns are nutless.

You can imagine anything you want (you pretty much do all the time), FACT remains that pretty much all these massacres occur in designated gun free zones
