Bloomberg reeks of hypocrisy on ‘stand your ground’ laws

Mr. Mayor, do your armed bodyguards have a duty to retreat? If not, using your own “logic,” how is that not a "license to murder"? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at the two faces of Mike--as if only one isn't stomach-turning enough.

An Important Perspective

"As individuals who have lost loved ones to gun violence, or have survived a shooting, we hope you will agree that we add an important perspective," wrote Goddard...[More]

Yeah, nothing like the opinions of the willfully clueless to shape public policy...

Here's an impromptu test:  Say that right now, right where you are, you hear some shots, and they're getting closer.

BANG

BANG

It's a drill. Do whatever you would do.

BANG

There "he" is in the doorway. What are you prepared to do?

What do you think this band of bleating ungulates are prepared to do?

Whose "perspective" do you think the phantom threat would find more "important"?

When Harry Met Elissa Redux

We talked about this unsurprising bit of "true champion" sabotage here.

GOA asks us to do something about it.

It seems a simple enough request.

Do Bloomberg's Bodyguards Have 'License to Murder'?

So does this mean Furious Mike's taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards won't stand their ground and have a duty to retreat? Or should we conclude they have a "license to murder"? [Read]

On the plus side, at least he admits bounties must be illegal...even if he is outraged anyone would dare ask him...

How Can You Tell "Authorized Journalists" Are Lying?

They write crap like this:

We support a right to bear arms, but you don’t have to show them off in plain sight

That's called having a big "but." It's also reminiscent of Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal perception--if they can't see it...

And to prove their point, they devolve into the ever-predictable and totally unsupported by reality "Wild West" canard, and throw in a Quickdraw McGraw insult for good measure.

But they "fully support the Second Amendment," mind you...
