And against the OVERWHELMING will of the people?

The irrational RW hatred of Michael Bloomberg reminds of nothing as much as the irrational RW hatred of Jane Fonda. They remind everyone that she's "Hanoi Jane", and treat every sound she makes as utterances directly from Satan, and they boycott the local multiplex because it made the mistake of showing a Jane Fonda movie once 30 yrs ago.

Well, you can rest assured that this time next year, NYC will have a new Mayor. Maybe your wish will come true and it'll be another Ghouliani-wannabe GOPer.

But Bloomberg's money isn't going away, so the push to enact real gun control that the majority of Americans want isn't going away either.
