NYC Mayor Bloomberg Calls For Police Strike
Knowing that A.T. & T. can't print enough phone books to elevate mayor Bloomberg to a level of credibility, I quit listening to his foolish rhetoric years ago. But, we have to realize that he is not alone in his opinion. There are other people who really believe that law-abiding gun owners are a threat to public safety. Many come from a culture overrun by people who can't, or won't, exercise the discipline necessary to possess, or safely use, firearms. So, they just can't fathom any legitimate use for guns. I can empathise with some of them, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that they, and Bloomberg, are wrong.
As far as cops' opinion's are concerned, I worked in law enforcement during the days when armed citizens were often my only backup. The ratio has changed, but my respect for the citizen gun owner has not. There are a lot of other retired cops, like me, who vehemently disagree with the NYC mayor. The following video is from one of them who expresses my sentiments exactly. -fl
