When asked about the congregation defending themselves against the murderer that killed two during services, Candidate Bloomberg didn't think anyone should carry a firearm to protect their congregation, their family or themselves. He and others would work to ensure that if he were to gain office. Many other candidates and politicians agree with him including Governor Northam. This is what we think of this idea and their holding office...NEVER AGAIN!

 
This may be useful as well - From NPR https://www.npr.org/transcripts/792302104

LAZAR KLEIN: You know, some people try to deny it. Some people try to, you know, dismiss it - it's nothing; it's not going to happen here. I would say everyone that could carry should carry; anybody who has a license should carry. Anybody that can apply for a license should definitely carry. And just all around, be more prepared. That's all. Don't deny it. Don't pretend like it's not going to happen here.

KING: Hansi, just to clarify, is he saying that people should - he would like people to carry guns?

WANG: Lazar Klein said that he thinks that people should consider carrying guns, getting licenses to carry guns if they are able to.

KING: That's an interesting thing to hear in that area of New York.
 
Bloomberg doesn’t really even want the cops to have guns, only his protective detail. I worked at the NYPD when he was mayor. He disliked us too, just saying.

You have my sympathy. I had left the city by the time he became mayor.

I remember his press conference where he stated " I don't know why anyone would want gun?" While being surrounded by the armed NYPD security detail. I'm also sure he had armed security before and after he was mayor
 
No it won't. They will freely admit that they are more important than you and your family and require protection

Because we don’t constantly remind them that they’re PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Instead we call them leaders, we treat them like royalty not servants.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for disrespect, but they should be reminded that they work for us. We’re citizens not subjects, and they’re representatives of the people.
 

When they use "common sense", watch out!
“Nobody’s trying to take away anybody’s handguns … or rifles or shotguns,” Bloomberg said. “What we’re trying to do is have sensible gun regulations.”

Bloomberg Visits Virginia, Scolds Gun Owners

Former New York mayor and gun control sugar daddy Michael Bloomberg was in Richmond, Virginia as the state legislative session kicked off on Wednesday. Bloomberg, who spent millions in the state backing anti-gun candidates in the 2019 elections, used his time in the Old Dominion to scold gun owners for the Second Amendment Sanctuary push in the state, and to urge them to urge them to turn in their guns to local police.

The debate on gun control in Virginia and around the country has focused in particular on assault-style rifles like AR-15s that have been used in mass shootings. Some initial pieces of Virginia legislation filed by Democrats that would outlaw AR-15-style rifles have not included any “grandfather” clauses allowing current owners of the popular rifle to keep them.

But Northam and other top Democrats in Virginia have said they don’t want to confiscate guns. And Bloomberg said Tuesday such a plan isn’t feasible.

“It’s probably impossible to get all of those back. One can only hope that when people see the damage they can cause, and the danger of having them in their houses, they’ll decide to just take them to the local police station and say, ‘Please, get rid of this,’” Bloomberg said.


It sounds like the only objection Bloomberg has stated to gun confiscation is that it isn’t feasible. Of course that isn’t stopping him or his pal Ralph Northam from pushing legislation that would ban the continued possession of commonly owned firearms, ammunition magazines, and legally owned suppressors. How feasible is it to turn 80% or more of the ammunition magazines in the state into prohibited items? How feasible is it to turn every gun owner who possesses a 17 or 20-round magazine into a felon?

“Nobody’s trying to take away anybody’s handguns … or rifles or shotguns,” Bloomberg said. “What we’re trying to do is have sensible gun regulations.”

Bloomberg and the anti-gun lawmakers he funded are absolutely trying to take away people’s handguns, rifles, and shotguns (at least those that meet Northam’s definition of “assault firearms”) if they don’t register them with the state of Virginia. They’re demanding people get rid of their legally owned ammunition magazines and suppressors. They’re also trying to take away the right to purchase these items in the future. Is it really a right if I’m “allowed” to keep my AR-15, but someone who wants to buy that exact same rifle in August of this year will be told it’s illegal for them to do so? Of course not. They’re turning the right to keep and bear arms into a privilege.

Even as Bloomberg was wagging his finger at Virginia gun owners on Wednesday, supervisors in Highland County, Virginia were busy approving a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution. As the VCDL notes, that makes the county the 118th “Second Amendment Sanctuary” in the state. Fully 96% of the counties in Virginia have now adopted similar resolutions, which tells me that Bloomberg’s scolding of Second Amendment supporters is falling on deaf ears.

Two problems there Mike, first you are not getting any 'back' since you have never sold or issued a one; second the firearms in our households are NOT endangering anyone.
 
Let's stay focused on the Activism element here and not drift into rants.

It is valuable to point out that the statement "It's probably impossible to get all of those back" while true is also reflective of how Mr. Bloomberg thinks about you, your property and the government's relationship to you and your property. Point that out every chance you can get while distributing the video and audio clips.

You are correct. If they can confiscate your firearms for the greater good they can confiscate ANY of your property for the greater good.

There is already movement in CA and VA to attack the right to private property
