In Memoriam

If Bloomberg is going to be remembered for something, it ought to be that, for gun laws as tough as there are anywhere. [More]

Yeah, as tough as nails.

Mike Lupica can't seem to work out the disconnect between Furious Mike Paradise and a "terrible, bloody day."

Where our intrepid government watchdog is going with this, of course, is cheerleading for Bloombergian disarmament throughout the Republic.

It's his M.O.

UPDATE: I also ought to call this out from ths story:
Sunday, the Bronx cop said, "You know what would be pleasurable? About 8,000 more police on the street."

I'll just bet. Also check out the "Gravity's Rainbow"* poll.

  2. I see that the progressive/fascist, Mike Lupica, has loaded his article with a sidebar poll with "Sophie's Choice" type questions, all to get a fixed result.

    Harming the intrinsic rights of Americans.

    Mr. Lupica needs to know this, his progressive/fascist ideology is OVER, continuing to pursue that will produce results which he will not like.

  3. A fan of police states. "8,000 more cops."
    He blames ME for the sh--hole he lives in for not not having one here "down South." In the small areas where our violent crime rate even begins to approach that of New York City, it's because people are too poor or too conditioned to own a gun with which to fight back.
    When I read Capo Lupica's obituary, I'll think about God meeting him and asking him "What were you thinking?" Or maybe "da udder guy" telling him "Good job!"

  4. "8,000 more police on the street"? I doubt that is going to happen. If the loaded cost (salary, benefits, pension contribution, training, equipment, etc.) is estimated at $100,000, then the estimated cost of 8,000 more officers is $80,000,000 per year.

    The November 28, 2009 edition of the "New York Times" claims that Bloomburg spent $102 Million in his last election campaign, and that he "poured $85 million into his campaign in 2005 (or $112 per vote) and $74 million into his first bid for office in 2001 ($99 per vote)." Impressive. If he really wants to spend his won money to get 8,000 more officers on the street, that will do more for NYC than his holding his current office of Mayor.

    I have an alternative suggestion. Wikipedia states that the 2009 population estimate for NYC is 8.4 million people. Using the 3 percent population estimate of those willing to defend the U.S. Constitution gives us 252,000 people. Let's severely discount that by saying that in real life one out twenty would actually act with arms, especially if there were no prohibitions such as currently exist. That gives us 12,600 people willing to act at no additional cost to the City of New York. Let the good people defend themselves and reduce the dependency on government. I know that many egos may be bruised by this suggestion, but it is time we get past that sensitivity.

    Hairdressers can effectively do their own shooting of armed robbers without relying on a police officer being present. Let us work on enabling that attitude, providing the training and remove the legal barriers.

  5. The local "news"paper here did not endorse Rep Bobby Scott, anti-gun socialist and a key agitator for "closing the gun show loophole" and ending private sales, for re-election, but commended him for his "ethics and hard work."
