idiot new york mayor calls for police strike in effort to blackmail american public

Doh! If the police go on strike, people will arm themselves for protection against criminals, either acquiring new weapons or bringing the ones they own out of the gun safe, night table drawer etc.
Also with no police on the street why wouldn’t the law abiding start to carry a pistol? You know that the criminals already do.
Did Mayor Bloomberg inherit his wealth? If this is an example of his thinking I don’t see how he became a billionaire on his own merit.

There’s a reason they call them moon bats.
I’m for it. Let the police strike and then we can fire them all. I can handle my own protection till things get right again. Give it a year or two and society will be better off for the loss of the parasites feeding on the body public. Didn’t use to be that way, forty years ago, and yes I know all cops aren’t parasites. But far too many, most even look like it from where I sit today.
And cut back our tax bills to equal the declining spending. Then we can move on to stage two, where we go after all government bureaucrats. It’s not going to happen but we can dream.
The powers in charge lie to us all the time, especially when it comes to things that must be unsaid. Political Correctness rules all. They know that we know they are making it up, but it doesn’t slow them down a lick. This can’t continue, but if it does I am old enough that I won’t live long enough to see the big fail. And if I do I will cheer the fire that burns us all while praying for a new start. One where Bloomberg has nothing to say.
That sounds potentially useful. And would quite probably be productive. Just keep the morgue open, or the buzzards will get too fat to fly.
Bloomberg is a bigger idiot than I imagined. Cops, like military members LOVE guns. And in most communities they support “legal” gun-owners.
When is this asshat and all his Liberal asshat pals going to realize that like dangerous drugs there will always be a criminal market for the product and there will always be those who will supply the product.
The dopy assholes in Ireland want people to stop smoking and they figure if they tax the fags heavily enough the consumption will go down.
What the assholes don’t realize is the number of smuggled, untaxed, made in China cigarettes are pouring into the country by the millions each month. Sure some are discovered by the Gardai (police), but I figure for every single cigarette found 10,000 get through.
And guns will get through too.
It’ll be a reverse “Fast & Furious”.....Guns from China will flow through Mexico into the United States.
BLOOMBERG IS A FREAKIN IDIOT or naive.
However, I doubt neither is absolutely true. It’s part and parcel of the Marxist doctrine of disarming the public before the big overthrow of the government.
I suppose it makes matters even worse to think he ran, I believe, as a conservative.
Whatever, the man is either a blithering idiot, or in the first stages of dementia.It’s reported here that guns of almost any type, are easily available in Co. with none of the checks that some other states have. I have no idea if that is true or not. But even here in the UK where gun ownership is highly restricted and controlled, they still have some gun crime. It’s less then the USA but then, look at the populations.
No, Bloomberk is exactly that. A Jerk. A clueless Putz.New York Yankee - I see the exact opposite as far as cops ‘loving’ guns - they are more and more often coming down on the gun ban side, which is sad.
But my question is - Isn’t a Mayor who is asking his police (and others) to go on strike to force politicians to violate the 2nd Amendment - a felony?
Just asking.
And Peiper - no, anyone buying a gun (most especially the AR-15 that this nutcase had) from an establishment such as Gander Mountain - must get an FBI background check - doesn’t matter on state laws (although I am not aware of any state that allows simply pay and go gun laws) - it is an requirement of the FFL license - not state law. So once again the vaulted (and unbiased) media is lying to make the story fit their agenda.
What else is new?
wardmama4,
I was “on the job” a cop in New Jersey for almost 8 years (till a bad marriage collapsed). But that was back in the 1960’s. Maybe things have changed, but all the guys i worked with enjoyed going to the range with their weapons. I had me a .357 Python + a Walther P-38 9mm, a Snubby (Colt detective special .38 cal 2-inch barrel, a barretta .25 cal. “Baby Barretta” and an M-1 .30 cal. Carbine.
In the Military I qualified with an M-1, M-14, Colt 1911 .45 cal pistol, .12 gauge pump action riot gun & M-60 machine gun.
I loved firing all of them and believe it or not cleaning them.
The only thing I hated was “rifle inspection” when some wet-behind-the-ears 2nd LT, who liked to bust balls got real nit picky. While eyeballing the barrel interior you were guaranteed to hear: Corporal I see a gremlin (speck of carbon) half way down at the 3-O’clock. You fail and no Liberty this weekend. Of course it was vertually impossible to stop a spect from flying into the weapon while you stood in platoon formation at attention for maybe 45 minutes.
Other than that you can keep you Lionel trains, wood-working gear and sit-on lawn mower. Just give me my various “smoke-poles” a pile of ammo and a well kept range. hell, I turned 70 last Monday and you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Collecting guns and taking them to the range is a safe as collecting stamps. It’s the freakin “nutters” that must be stop from obtaining them.
"with none of the checks that some other states have.”
This is not totally true. At best it is only partially true.
Any firearm purchased from a gun store anywhere in the USA, Colorado included, is subject to NICS approval. Rifle, shotgun, pistol. Any state, any gun, every time.
Any firearm can be purchased “used” in any state without ever using the NICS system, because the government can NOT outlaw private sales. I own a gun, I sell it to you. Legal. I might have to ask you if you are a felon, a crazy, or are otherwise not allowed to own them. But if you say no, I can take your word for it. AFAIK, this is legal in all 57 states.
No state allows the direct sale of automatic weapons, sawed off shotguns, or military explosives. You have to have a special expensive federal permit for those, called a Class III. AFAIK there are no NEW machine guns for sale in the USA. Clinton stopped that, which is why a legal machine gun now costs tens of thousands of dollars.
Colorado is probably a Shall Issue state, which means that concealed handgun carry permits are perhaps easier to acquire than in May Issue states, and CO may also have Open Carry, which means you can strap a sixgun to your hip cowboy style and walk about in public, in theory without causing public panic or police hostility in your direction. The thing with the “shall issue” vs “may issue” is that the Shalls outnumber the Mays about 42 to 8 at this point ... so the “it’s so much easier to get guns there than in other states” is mostly BS, because it’s DEAD EASY to get guns in almost all the other states, except for the few that remain firmly in the control of the far left. And that’s the way it is supposed to be - CO is not some freaky exception, this is how America works and has always worked.
It is also possible that CO recognizes the true intent of the Second Amendment and does not require any kind of permit process to purchase, own, or carry any pistol or firearm. There are several states like that, and nearly every state has always been like that with long guns. It’s only DC, NJ, CA, IL that demand licenses for rifles, BB guns, bows, boomerangs and so forth. Plus pistols. Even in NY - the real state, not Bloomberg’s sub-nation city - you can just go to the gun store and buy a rifle. No permits, never have been. But you have to pass the NICS thing these days. But no matter what a state’s “easy” level might be, to get your hands on an automatic weapon legally requires the Class III thing, and you will be in a world of hurt if you are caught with an illegal one, or even a device that makes a regular gun into an automatic one. Bad bad bad, go directly to jail. That’s a federal crime, and thus ALL the states are that way.
Drew, clear something up for me. Shall issue would mean, wouldn’t it, that their law says the state ‘shall issue’ if approved. That is, no criminal background.
May issue means that the states with ‘May’ can deny even the application for some?
I’m not at all familiar with the laws and regs and only now have learned about the two you mention.Have you seen this site?
I understand what you are saying NJY- it’s just locally the cops don’t even know the gun laws - open carry, conceal carry - and don’t seem to be all that interested in learning them, Steven Seagal on his A&E show said that people carrying guns in their car (the guy had all the proper paperwork and the cops demanded he put it in the trunk) are the ‘reason’ there is so much gun violence on the streets and I won’t go into the bad representatives of cops on A&Es The First 48 with their just plain stupid comments on guns and crimes (most liken the police force as somehow completely outside of being able to correct the violence/crime problems in the communities).
To me it is just that all of the institutions in America are simply corrupt and the most dangerous entities today.
And in many cases are headed by idiots stuck on stupid.
