Serious question: can the supposedly-very-smart Mayor Michael Bloomberg really be this foolish, or is there something else at work? Commenting on the outbreak of gun violence in NYC over the Labor Day weekend, in which 42 people were injured or killed, Bloomberg uttered [at least according to this report] not a word of condemnation directed toward the criminals themselves. Instead, the Big Appler blamed only the proliferation of guns and called for "stricter gun control laws".
What is it that drives liberals to condemn the instruments of crime, rather than the criminals themselves? Bloomberg quote after the jump.

Sure, but that’s only when they’re among strangers or just people they know.
Ah, so. That narrows it down to everyone on earth. Good show, Civ.
Closer to home, does he than the mixmaster for the birthday cake his wife baked for him?
A rich Cretin.
What a surprise. Who didn't see that coming? Of course bloomturd is going to blame guns. He's made it a centerpiece of his political philosophy. It's so convenient (but utterly insane) to blame an inanimate object for the criminal activity of criminals. I think that the NYC criminal justice system should just go around arresting the guns and let the criminals go. (Oh wait that's pretty much what they do. Make it almost impossible for a law abiding citizen to protect himself, and let the criminals back out on the streets as soon as possible) That really worked well in this instance didn't it?
Did Bloomberg also find a study citing automobiles as being responsible for traffic accidents?
Was it an SUV? Those things are killers....
What school did you teach at?
I used to go to PS 208, PS 216 after a move, IS 228, then Lincoln High School; since JulieAnnie left office in 2001, I guess Bloomberg took office in 2002, which would mean I was in NYC public schools for him from 2002 to 2004, which is only 2 years or so.
“Stupid is as stupid does.” Money can’t buy his way out of stupid.
All progressive fascists seem to have this malady!
