Micheal Bloomberg said he wants to disarm urban minorities...

With the recent post about "wealthy whites" supporting gun control because they want to feel safe, (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172160305)

here is Bloomberg saying:

Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands

Amazing bigotry here... But it is to be expected, after all he was a rich white repuke.

The RKBA is akin to 1A protections: It is not the powerful and popular that need protecting but the minority and unpopular groups that are being guarded.

We know you and others like to restrict others rights, that is why they require a "safe haven" so they can censor opposing views.

Gun control is also racist: the first American gun laws were to prevent blacks from owning guns during the colonial era.

NYPD Officials Tell Lawmakers to Make Resisting Arrest a Felony

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026193731

Such a thing is aimed at whom? And felony convictions prevent one from exercising which rights?

Apparently a fair number of his bodyguards are African American. I wonder what that was like back in limo ride back to the hotel.

"Well, I didn't mean you guys. You're not like the rest of your kind.

"I mean, come on, we'd practically be golfing buddies if my country club wasn't restricted."
