Bloomberg's New Campaign: More Gun Control Needed for Gun-Owning Parents
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | April 16, 2014 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/16/2014 7:48:23 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

On April 16th – the same day Michael Bloomberg told NBC's Today show that his gun control push "isn't gun control" – he released a new ad targeting parents who have kids in the home yet own guns.

The ad is an emotional appeal aimed at building support for new gun control restrictions on gun owners with kids in the home, specifically focused on having guns in the home locked up.

In the ad, a young girl and her brother play hide and seek. The girl hides in her parents' closet and finds a pistol that the parents kept in a box on the floor. She plays with the gun, turning it around in her hands and finally pulling back the hammer.

Just after she pulls back the hammer, her brother steps into the closet to find her, the screen goes dark, and a gunshot rings out.

The caption on the screen asks, "Will you stop this?" That is followed by another caption which says, "Scenes like this happen all the time. More than 2 million American kids live in homes with unsecured guns."

The day before this ad was released Bloomberg told The New York Times, "I think having a gun at home when you have children is really dumb."(continued)

Why do I get the impression Bloomberg’s been ‘up to something’ that might result in problems for Bloomberg when this Hussein Regime is dismantled?

Do you think that the Bloomberg just might have a out of control case of OCD?

Mike Bloomberg thinks we’re stupid and need to be treated like children.

We all grew up with guns - or least some of us did. What is his freak with controlling our lives?

How many kid on kid shootings vs. how many Urban punk on punk shootings per year?

Bloomie needs to personally go into the 'hood and disarm the place.

And these things don’t happen often compared to say, death by hot dog. Kids should be taught how to deal with the situation.

Yeah and how many people drown in their bathtub?

Mike needs to get a grip. We can’t eliminate heartbreak and tragedy from life. I don’t want to live in his “perfect” world.

I hate killjoys.

Bloomburg is a narcissistic sociopath with a Napoleon Complex. He should go back to regulating sodas and salt in the diet.

Bloomturd’s mother conceiving this gun-grabbing Nazi was really dumb.

I’ve got a S&W .40 eighteen inches from now right now.
Having it in a safe is like having it unloaded.
When grandkids come along, it will be secured with the others.
Who told this idiot he was our Morning Wood Fairy? Oh yeah, New Yawk New Yawk.
