Top-tier 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has long been an adamant foe of Second Amendment rights, has now come out with his latest anti-gun doozy.
In the aftermath of the recent church shooting outside Fort Worth, Texas, which saw an armed churchgoer hero take down the culprit a mere six seconds after he initially opened fire, Bloomberg has seen fit to opine that we as a society “can’t let the average American have guns” in a “crowded place” such as a house of worship.
“It may be true — I wasn’t there; I don’t know the facts — that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people, but it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot,” Bloomberg recently said, as reported by Conservative Review. “You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”
That is a curious response, to say the least, to the revelation that the Texas church shooting hero was able to quickly neutralize the madman shooter. The Daily Wire reported on the dramatic video footage from West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas that flooded national media after the horrific tragedy.

"It may be true" that citizens fought back against a man who had just murdered two fellow men in their congregation?
There is a video that has been viewed by millions of people showing just that.
Furthermore, this tyrant is himself SURROUNDED by armed security.
Sabotaging your election chances
Please, oh please, let ‘No Soda’ Bloomberg win the Primary
He is a petty tyrant and a coward.
Bloomberg is as clumsy as he is stupid!
How Do you enforce that without an armed guard?
I’m an above average citizen - nothing to worry about Mikey.
We can’t let people have more than a billion dollars......./s
Yes, by all means, we would rather see our loved ones slaughtered and then wait for 20 minutes for the police to respond.
It was over in SIX seconds.
How long would they have waited for police?
How many additional people would have been killed?
Blooming Idiot
Hell I’m surprised he didn’t tell them to rename the town!
It is called White Settlement.
Typical crap from the mental and physical hypocritical dwarf. Here’s the turd that would have no qualms about having his hired thugs opening fire in public. Little turd doesn’t trust the NYC police to keep him safe .... hard to tell the difference between him and some cartel boss.
No Guns for Democrats, - only for Republicans.
You lead the way Mike!
Sorry, bloomy, but.....
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Gee, you weren't actually there Nanny? Like..... we thought you might have been. Thanks for clearing that up.
It is insane that anyone would vote for someone like this.
When seconds matter, the police are minutes away.
If gun and knife control applied to *everyone*, including private security companies, corporations would be much less supportive of it. Imagine payroll trucks driving around with baton-armed guards. And it would be amusing to see Bloomberg being chauffeured around by unarmed bodyguards. Heck, we should have bodyguard control that limits everyone, including government employees, to 1 bodyguard, so even rich Americans are required to experience the security challenges every American faces in a country that executes 1 killer for every 300 murders.
Or any other rich Democrat.
