Gun Control is a theory espoused by some monumentally stupid people; who claim to believe, against all logic and common sense, that a violent predator who ignores the laws prohibiting them from robbing, raping, kidnapping, torturing and killing their fellow human beings will obey a law telling them that they cannot own a gun.

Bloomberg is over his head in a parking lot puddle...

Someone needs to explain to Mayor Mike what a gun, with proper training & accessibility, could have done.

Gun control is like lowering the speed limit to prevent bank robbers from escaping. Only libtard idiots such as ´Nanny´ Bloomberg fail to see this.

The question; "if the principal was trained and armed how many children would still be alive?"

Was he surrounded by his ARMED security people?
Make them give up their guns, Bloomy. Put up or shut up.

Well, Nanny Bloomberg, there was an incident when two thugs came into an internet cafe with robbery and who knows what else on their minds. Too bad for them, there was a senior citizen who had a gun - concealed carry - and he knew how to use it. The thugs were wounded, and later arrested and the patrons of the cafe were not harmed.

That´s what a gun in the hands of a law abiding citizen can do

It would be funny if it wasn´t so deadly dangerous.

And by the way, Mayor, do you feel any responsibility to protect the unborn?

Spectacular intro paragraph! Love the ending ellipses...

After - ´Bloomberg responded by saying, "There are dumb statements and then there are stupid statements.....´

Ninety percent of readers would obviously finish that pontification with ´....and I have a solid history of uttering both...´

Rock on Bloomberg. You stick to your soda-pop-cop act, Obama can stick to ignoring Chi-town murder stats, and both of you might want to reflect on the fact that Team Obama/Holder *killed* more effective background checks in order to ´facilitate´ re-election.

And an *excellent* article on National Review Online - ´The Facts about Mass Shootings´.

Of course ´facts´ are wasted on liberals, but it´s fun poking ´em with ´em...

Unarmed persons are often helpless when faced with a "man (woman) with a gun", whether the armed offender is a "civilian" or an agent of the people who call themselves "government". Save your breath trying to talk to people like Mr. Bloomberg. They prefer "citizens" to be vulnerable (unarmed), docile, polite, and properly appreciative of their "betters" (such as Mr. Bloomberg).

The shooter killed himself the minute someone with a gun arrived.

Well we know what happened without the Principal or any other adult in the school, having a gun.
Criminals are going to get guns because you can´t un-invent the gun. They aren´t hard to make, and if you can´t even keep drugs out of the country, what makes you think you can keep guns out. Look at Britain. Some of the harshest and draconian gun laws in the world and gun violence is skyrocketing.

´Red´ Bloomberg. Do you think if the principal had had FIVE armed bodyguards like yours that that would have helped her?

Of course no one can "know" what would have happened, but perhaps the end of the story would have been something like this....

http://easybakegunclub.com/blog/1968/Concealed-Carry-Hero-at-Portland-Mall---The-Full-S.html

We want to know how many men with guns are on Mayor Bloomberg´s Security Detail and we want the the New York City Council and the New York State Legislature to de-fund and dis-band Mayor Bloomberg´s Security Detail and re-allocate the resources to elementary school security. And, we want it now, preferably beginning on a voluntary basis from Major Bloomberg himself.

Hold your breath waiting for the f´ing hypocrites to take this action.

By his own logic cops and his security detail should be disarmed

I don´t believe in gun control other then prudent steps like background checks that are effective to keep crazy people and criminals from gaining access to guns which we obviously don´t have now.

But common sense will tell you that the vast majority of elementary school teachers, like nurses and psychologists, are not people who are wired for, or have any desire, to become trained in using firearms.

In that respect schools would be much safer if they employed police officers who are especially trained to deal with young people to provide armed security inside the schools. If that had been the case, the Connecticut perpetrator would have been almost immediately challenged by an armed and trained police officer as he was shooting out the apparently locked glass entry door at the school. You also have to figure that if he he knew that he was going to encounter an armed police officer as he entered the school, that he might not have tried out his evil school mass shooting plan in the first place.

Even if she just got off a couple of rounds and missed before he shot her, his mindset would have changed drastically.

To go from shooting lots of unarmed kids, to any adult there possibly being armed, he may very well have high tailed it out of that school at that instant.

Proof number 87,255,189 that lie-berals are simply incapable of understanding logic, reason or simple facts. They only understand feelings, and this just feels to Bloomberg like he must be right.

"There are none so blind as those who will not see" - source uncertain, but certainly applies to the Mayor´s moronic statement.

Of course, if the good Red Mayor were simply to hang a sign around his neck reading: ´I am a gun-free zone´ then he would not need those highly-paid FIVE armed bodyguards.
Right, Comrade Bloomberg?!

You don´t know what a gun would have done? Well, in the first place the gun by itself would have done nothing. It needs a trained human to operate it. And since you appear to be intellectually challanged, I´ll make it easy for you. You know what the gun did to those poor little kids!? Well, thats also what a gun in the hands of a trained teacher could have done to the bad guy. Its not rocket science you moron.

Okay then Bloomberg, I throw out the argument that we should then disarm everyone, including all police, all government officials, the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, and ALL public or private security personnel... and I mean every last gun, period. No one has guns regardless of position, rank, or status. If all the guns are outlawed and gone and guns do nothing according to this monumental idiot, then why do your personal security detail need guns? Less talk, more action you castrated weakling!! Put your money where your mouth is you sad sack of puss!!

Throw that argument in his face and see how his entitled,power grubbing, "let them eat cake" class squirms. They won´t defend themselves for fear of being labelled unsophisticated and "conservative" but they sure as hell like having big unsophisticated, conservative men with big black scary guns watching their miserable backsides. Hypocrites!!

of course he doesn´t know, you would have to have a least a minimul level of intelligence to know something and he has more than proven he does not have that.

All he has is what his liberal friends tell him is good and right.

You can not fix this kind of stupidity.

#18. That´s from the Ray Steven´s song, "Everything is Beautiful".

We´re looking at the results of what guns in the hands of a madman can do. Imagine if there´d been someone there to shoot back.

This man is a total idiot. Someone trained to use a firearm would have been able to save alot of the children.

Let me show you. Come into my place of business with a gun. Start shooting. Bang you´re dead! It is a shame people so stupid can procreate.

Ok Mayor Bloomberg put your money where your mouth is and get rid of your armed security detail and go walk around the rough neighborhoods at night alone.

If the principal and several teachers had been armed and trained, the worst that could have happened is 27 people killed. Thats the worst. There would probably have been a lot less. People as stupid as nanny Bloombutt are total idiots. Unfortunately they are allowed to walk among us.

Is this guy just stupid or what?

I sort of agree on one point with the tiny mayor. Some people should not have guns. Most actors seem too emotionally unstable, and perhaps the bodyguards that loom over the pipsqueak mayor. How about giving YOUR bodyguards non lethal means of defense? Pepper spray or tasers, mayor? Set an example for once in your life.

Having a firearm should be a sobering experience. If the door person or Principal at some schools can´t handle the idea of lethal force, at least take responsibility for your gun free ´zone´ with multiple layers of hard to defeat protection, locks and spray areas and finally tasers in every secure area.

Bloomberg is a professional politician, what more do you need to know? Of course he wouldn´t know what a gun would do. Cheney and Ryan could let him know how that works however. But then those two don´t speak to lunatics if they can help it.

By the way, take our guns, then we will all break out the crossbows to shoot the criminals who will be the only ones left that have guns. Like Australia and Great Britain.

Come on, L-Dotters - you´re not getting it. His posse is only armed because others around him might be. Once we pass the law banning gun ownership and everyone turns theirs in...

Bloomberg is hopeless.

Pull this A@@hole´s Security Detail then since it doesn´t do anything.

As mayor of NYC, Boombox has as much justification for bloviating on this topic as the leftard mayor of Chicago. None. They are no better, morally speaking, than Michael Moore or any other leftist buzzard perched in a tree, always ready to flop down and feast off the dead and dieing to further their selfish needs.

Shame on them.

No Sir, you do not know what it "might" have done. Yet we ALL now know what the lack of one did.

I heard Sen. Feinstein say earlier " I have spoken with people in the know about these assault rifles and they say it´s game over when someone has one of these". Then I heard the president of national teachers association say something similar - how can teachers protect their students from someone with an assault rifle? These two scholars don´t realize it but they have made our case for us.

Obesity is a national problem and results in countless unnecessary medical costs and deaths. Clearly, we need to ban forks, knives and other eating utensils. If everyone was forced to use straws and chop sticks the national obesity problem would be solved.

I am just being facetious, but don´t mention this idea in front of Bloomberg because he will want to do it.

#37. I heard Sen. Feinstein say earlier "I have spoken with people in the know about these assault rifles and they say it´s game over when someone has one of these."

Let´s pretend for a moment that Feinstein is not completely full of bovine excrement. If this were true, then I would definitely want to buy my daughters assault rifles for Christmas.

Who would want to deprive women and children of a surefire way to defend themselves?

Is Bloomberg willing to disarm his security if we take guns away from citizens? Might ask him

For starters, someone with a gun could have, at the very least, restricted the shooters movements. Just a single round fired in his direction would have slowed him down and had him looking for cover giving the cops time to show up.

Mr. Totalitarian Mayor Wannabe,

Statistically speaking, the use of a gun in defense of the students and teachers at Sandy Hook would have meant approximately 17 fewer victims and 17 more survivors. A little further back, it would have meant 22 more survivors of the Virginia Tech attack in 2007.

And that assumes those attacks would have occurred. The known presence of defensive weapons prevents some 80% of potential mass murder attacks (predators like soft targets).

All told, if we had 100 undefended attacks that killed five people apiece (500 total dead), but prevented 80% of them because defensive weapons were present, and reduced actual casualties at the remaining attacks by the documented 64% rate, those attacks would result in 460 fewer dead than if no guns were present.

Your flippant disregard of the probability that these 17 lives could have been saved (and perhaps even more) says much about the state of your personal morality and shows it severely lacking in true and honest compassion and humanity.

Since, in your studied opinion, you don´t know what a gun would have done because they are apparently useless as defensive weapons, I recommend you disarm your own security detail of their guns, and stop carrying your own.

Sincerely,

The United States Constitution
Second Amendment

Gah! What a flippin´ stooge!

I´ll tell you, Mayor Nanny (apologies to actual nannies), what it would have done:

1. the principal might have shot the guy and stop the whole thing immediately
2. the principal might have scared the guy away (that does happen more often than not)
3. the principal may have caused the guy to shoot himself on the spot (that also happens a lot)
4. the principal might have been shot, but then the shooter has to wonder who else in the school might have a gun so he decides to either kill himself or take it all someplace else.

If the principal had had a gun, it is more likely than not that lives would have been saved. Possibly a whole room full of kids.

With leaders like Red, it´s no wonder we´re in a quagmire.

News flash: Feinstein spoke to ´assault weapons´ expert, Barney Frank.

Hey Mike....walk down the hall and ask Ray Kelly that question

You know, CT banned the death penalty in their state, forgot what year it was passed. What would have happened if Lanza id not turn the gun on himself and just put his hands up. He would have been sentenced to life in prison without parole! Could all those families have lived with that?

Using that logic, get rid of all guns used by your security staff, Bloomberg, and all security staffs used by Federal government in Washington DC; the guns are the problem, so keep them away from everybody. There, now you and everyone in Washington DC are safe.

I am more and more convinced that our so-called leaders are the dumbest people on the face of the earth. I´m sick of them, the libs, and the horses they rode in on.

These murderers are always cowards. They ever get it on with armed people.

All that money and not one lick of sense. Bloomfield is mayor of NYC, not governor of CT, so why doesn´t he shut his pie hole ??

Clearly, all that is needed is a new law making it illegal to ignore existing laws that prohibit harming and killing people.

/s

The hypocrite Doomberg has armed guards around him 24x7.

52 - don´t say that too loud - our politicians will take you seriously...

Reasoned debate is impossible and pointless with such people. All that is really left to say is Molon Labe.

And be prepared for the consequences.

My goodness. Is he daft or what? To other principals and teachers who somehow have access to a gun, message to you: This WILL happen again.

Instructions as follows:

1) See crazy man in your school brandishing weapons (oh yes, knives, samurai swords, guns).
2) Crazy man means business and will kill kids. Are you weavering? Then remember Colorado, and Virginia Tech, heck, even China. If still not sure, you have now Sandy Hook to convince you.
3) Take out your weapon and shoot right between the eyes because he may have a vest. Keep firing until he is flat on the ground.

I think Bloomberg´s body guards have exactly the same intructions. Jerky.

Topic: Bloomberg on Unarmed Sandy
Hook Principal: "I Don´t Know
What A Gun Would Have Done"

Change the title to read:
I don´t know what I would have done with a gun.

Trust me, when it comes down to me or thee, any employee in that school would have made the decision to shoot to protect themselves and those children.
