Here it is in Bloomberg’s own words — "If this moment passes into memory without action from Washington, it will be a stain upon our nation of protecting the innocent, including our children.... I think it is true when you see 6- and 7-years-olds as the victim, somehow or other it goes to your heart a little more.... It's more of a 'My god, what kind of a society do we have?' But don't think that all of the other assassinations, all of the other tragedies, all of the other massacres, or the individual shootings every day across the country, don't think that those are any less of a tragedy. Those are human beings, too."
Remember this is the very same Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who ceased being a Republican, but was still sold the Republican line upon which he won re-election by a cabal that included Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig Eaton.
After his call for more gun control, on top of all the very restrictive laws in his super-gun-controlled city, Bloomberg responded when confronted by a critical member of the media who had asked him whether the mayor's position being one of the faces of the anti-gun-rights movement could be "counterproductive" because Bloomberg is the mayor from the ultra-liberal New York City , New York. With his characteristic adenoidal twang in an especially annoying range of the organic human diapason, Bloomberg whined, "I'm an American. I'm a human being, so I certainly have standing to say what I think."
What the diminutive media-mogul billionaire meant was — I’m used to having my opinion heard above those of all ordinary people and now I have the right megaphone to be heard above everybody else in the country, including the president, who had better listen to me or else! On Friday afternoon Mayor Bloomberg had put out a statement calling on President Obama to take "immediate action" to push for legislation on the issue. However, at today’s press conference Mayor Bloomberg admitted that he had not spoken to Obama since the shootings in Connecticut.
Bloomberg used today's speech to announce a new website, “Demand A Plan”, that among other things will highlight the stories of some of those at Bloomberg’s press conference in videos calling for gun control action. The mayor said that copies of those videos will be delivered to the members of Congress during the next session, in order to build the pressure to enact new Federal gun-control. Mayor Bloomberg is also the co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group of more than 700 mayoral advocates for stricter gun control.

[from Michael Snyder post, links below]
"Mass murderer Adam Lanza is yet another example of how society is collapsing right in front of our eyes.... {T]here will inevitably be more Adam Lanzas. We live in a blood-soaked society that loves and glorifies violence. And I am not just talking about video games and movies. The horrible truth is that more than 2000 children are murdered in the United States every single day in our abortion clinics, and most of our “leaders” actually approve of this practice. When you add in all other forms of abortion such as “morning after pills”, the number is closer to 3000 children a day. Overall, more than 50 million babies have been killed in America since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. We have pushed God and morality out of our schools and out of public life, and instead we have taught our young people that the slaughter of millions of babies is no big deal. Is it any wonder that they are so screwed up? We have raised up a generation of young people without teaching them moral values, and now we are experiencing the bitter fruit of our foolishness."
Snyder also analyses why additional gun control legislation will not succeed in any way to quell violence generally, or gun violence in particular. GM
