Mayor Bloomberg ‘scolds’ nation for not standing up to gun lobby

From the Huffington Post: Bloomberg, a co-founder of the coalition Mayors Against Illegal Guns, told reporters at a press event outside the Capitol. “Our coalition strongly believes in the Second Amendment. We also know from experience that we can keep guns away from dangerous people without imposing burdens on law-abiding gun owners.”

COMMENT: From his actions here, and from his position as Mayor of the largest city with an almost complete gun ban, it is clear that Michael Bloomberg does not believe in the Second Amendment. Who is he to ‘scold’ Americans for refusing to let their 2nd Amendment be chipped away?
