The courts have already ruled that Bloomberg&#8217;s regime oversteps the bounds of what government should do, when he tried to limit the size of beverages there. <\/p>\n<p>Wayne LaPierre as quoted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/mar\/24\/sen-tom-coburn-enhanced-background-checks-will-pas\/\">Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to find out this is a country of the people, by the people and for the people, and he can\u2019t spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public,\u201d Mr. LaPierre said. \u201cThey don\u2019t want him in their restaurants, they don\u2019t want them in their homes, they don\u2019t want him telling what food to eat, they sure don\u2019t want him telling what self-defense firearms to own, and he can\u2019t buy America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bloomberg has tried to tell New Yorkers what they can eat, he even has tried to tell women what they can do with their breasts in the privacy of their own homes. It&#8217;s the worst kind of statist behavior &#8211; one millionaire imposing his will on Americans &#8211; as if he is the embodiment of C. Montgomery Burns of the Simpson cartoon. <\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg shows his total delusion in a quote from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2013\/03\/24\/bloomberg-on-gun-votes-i-think-we-are-going-to-win-this\/\">Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever been an issue where the public has spoken so clearly where Congress hasn\u2019t eventually understood and done the right thing,\u201d Bloomberg said on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d adding: \u201cI think we are going to win this. Celebrating in advance isn\u2019t the right thing to do. We\u2019ve got to go out \u2014 we\u2019ve got a lot of work ahead of us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, when you don&#8217;t tell the public what you really want, you&#8217;ll get the response that Bloomberg obviously is banking upon. Sure we all want 100% background checks, but when Bloomberg and Schumer fail to tell people that their idea of background checks leads to <em>defacto<\/em> registration. That there&#8217;s no way to prevent criminals and the mental defects who use guns illegally from getting their hands on guns because all of their legislation only threatens punishment for formerly legal gun owners and traders.<\/p>\n<p>And criminals aren&#8217;t going to do background checks during their back-alley, car trunk sales anyway. So what&#8217;s their answer? Nothing but crickets, because easier to write laws that restrict the rights of the law abiding than it is to write laws that actually protect someone &#8211; all to bow down at the &#8220;do-something&#8221; altar of liberalism.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I don&#8217;t like the idea of being dictated to by a millionaire New Yorker who is surrounded by armed body guards. But that&#8217;s me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wayne LaPierre correctly pointed out this weekend that millionaire Michael Bloomberg, who the Washington Post calls &hellip; <a title=\"Bloomberg buying America\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34735\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bloomberg buying America<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34735\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
