Bloomberg Rolling Stone gun comment shows continued ‘sexual blind spot’

Bloomberg's casual use of a sexual vulgarity in front of "Amanda" implies it's routine. It also implies that she puts up with it because he’s the boss, he’s powerful as hell, she's a relatively powerless woman, and complaining about an offensive work environment created by a temperamental billionaire narcissist control fanatic would be, at the very least, career limiting. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes, true to the maxim that with "progressives," every day is Opposite Day, this favorite of "women's groups" is a domineering sexist who treats them like objects and demands their submission. Hey, as long as they listen, he'll go easy on them. Just don't make him say it twice.

Based on the mindless comments from the inhabitants of Beta III, I can't say that I blame him. Red Hour and Festival don't seem all that fictional with these characters.

Curious. The collectivist suddenly turns capitalist when he stands to gain. He'll let you access a teaser, but wants to charge money to get the whole show.

Figures the Prozis would use a "gun free zone" to stump for even more disarmament.

I guess comic books can't be for kids any more. I just hope Unca Scrooge McDuck still dives into gold coins instead of into Huey, Dewey and Louie (and if you haven't seen the "Family Guy" send-up on that, take a few seconds).

I always preferred Peorgie and Mudhead anyway.

And, of course, Starchie.

Bloomberg Wants You Dead

We talked about the cult leader's approving Rolling Stone interview here, focusing on his insufferable elitist snobbery.

Kevin Starrett thinks it's important to highlight another bit of hypocrisy from page 2 of the interview (the whole thing is ludicrous, but this point is especially telling):

No, I mean, guns are dangerous. The statistics are overwhelming. You're something like 22 times more likely to get killed in your home if you have a gun than if you don't. [Gestures at a staffer.] Let's say Amanda's trying to break in. "Excuse me, Amanda, I've gotta go get my gun to shoot you. Now, where did I put that combination to that lock? And the bullets were where? I don't know what the fuck…how do you turn the safety off?" Are you kidding me? The last thing you want to do when somebody breaks in and puts a gun toward you is try to go for a gun. That's really stupid. I don't know if you're going to get shot one way, but I guarantee you're going to get killed the other way.

But on the Everytown site:

When parents store their guns safely, they dramatically lower the chance of accidental shootings and suicides in their homes. But more than two million American children live in homes with unsecured guns.

We can't overlook those who survive because of that. Or those who die in homes with "secured" guns.

As was observed in Bloomberg's candidate survey, demanding to make that mandatory is one of the criteria he's going to be judging politicians on:

Do you support a law that would allow a prosecutor to bring charges if a gun owner stores a firearm negligently, a minor accesses the gun, and harm results?

In other words, lock up your safety or be destroyed, or lock up your safety AND be destroyed.

Heads he wins, tails you lose.

Event photo proves police aware of potentially lethal gun ‘buyback’ dangers

It shows a police officer at the event clearing a semiautomatic handgun to ensure there is no round in the chamber that can be negligently discharged, meaning authorities did not just blindly trust that those turning in guns knew what they were doing, and acknowledged the activity was potentially lethal. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner notes shameless life-threatening and cynical exploitation being done in the name of "gun safety," but really just for cheap political points and easy headlines.  And the thing is, this proves they know it.  Hey, what is it we observe about "progressives" and Opposite Day around here?

HA! Looks like I win the fierce power struggle on how to spell the Chairman of the Board Operators' name!

I also received a reminder from a friend that Ben Carson is problematic on immigration, kind of implying I should have mentioned that when I brought his name up. I know, same holds true on guns. The fast-moving conversation was centered on Holder playing the race card as the reason why some people are against him and Obama, and the only point I was trying to make is that white people who oppose Barry are more than willing to support a  person of a different race if he represents their ideology. I also mentioned Allen West and Thomas Sowell, and didn't see a need to say anything more about them than their names. Sometimes, when you sense the host is soliciting a conversation to amplify a point, a perceptive guest will follow the lead to help him, rather than throw in detours and sidetracks until you end up having a different discussion than the one being offered.

I've talked about Carson on this blog, including highlighting Kurt's work. I'm sure I'll do so again, including on Armed American Radio.
