Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bloomberg Disses Jack Wilson

Editorial in today's "Wall street Journal."


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott this week honored Jack Wilson with a new award called the Governor’s Medal of Courage. Mr. Wilson, a voluntary security guard for the West Freeway Church of Christ, earned the award for shooting dead a gunman—six seconds after he’d opened fire—who had just shot and killed two members of the Texas church.

Most of America rightly regards Mr. Wilson as a hero who used his gun to save innocent life on that December Sunday. But apparently not Michael Bloomberg. At a campaign stop in Alabama before the New Year, the former mayor of New York City and Democratic presidential candidate weighed in on the shooting.

“I wasn’t there,” Bloomberg told his audience. “I don’t know the facts—that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people. But it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”

As critics pointed out, if the Bloomberg rule had prevailed and the people in those pews had to wait until cops arrived, many more innocent citizens would have been maimed or murdered. As Gov. Abbott noted, “Only God knows who is alive today because of Jack Wilson.”

We’re glad Mr. Bloomberg is in the presidential race as an alternative voice on education, economic, and foreign policy. But on gun rights he is on the leftward end of the spectrum. If by chance he wins the nomination, he’ll need a better answer than telling innocent church-goers to wait for police to arrive while a shooter mows them down.

Bloomberg is amazingly good at picking the wrong side of an argument. He cannot win that one and I am happy he is so far left and transparent about it.

Bloomberg is a left wing nut, but a very wealthy and dangerous left wing nut.
He would willingly start a 2nd civil war to disarm the public, and has openly stated so.

Having him as POTUS...

What could go wrong?



Blithering idiot.

Bloomberg has schit for brains.

When seconds matter, Paul Blart is 45 mins away

All that has to be pointed out is that, statistically, legally-armed citizens have not created a problem anywhere.

And I would hazard a guess that most are better shots than most Cops.

I honestly don't think Bloomberg thinks he can win the whitehouse, if he did he would start distancing himself from statements/issues that would play poorly in swing states. He must have some other ploy like picking the DEM candidate or at least helping to exclude some.

LOL

Sounds to me like with his business background experience Bloomberg must believe he can draw moderate Democrat, Independent, undecided and 'fence straddler' Republican voters per the economy and still appease the more extreme Leftists voters by publicly voicing his anti-gun philosophy.

People can remind "Dumb-berg" that's what is happening at other churches and gun free zones and people are dying before help arrives.

Gov't gonna save you all.

If it fails.... "Oh well... Maybe next time."

Michael Bloomberg is the Joseph Stalin of the Anti Gun crowd and the Nation's Chief of the Communist Globalists...

people need to get that thru their heads...

he ain't your friend and he's no lover of this nation...

there isn't a thing he's involved in, that his number one reason is Michael Bloomberg..

compare that to Donald Trump.....

don't confuse "he needs to be reminded".. (he doesn't need to have that explained at all)

with

He doesn't really give a Fudk....about people getting killed while waiting for a government ran Police Force showing up...

he cares a lot more about Government Control than he does about People's lives...

like any Globalists, they believe that this planet has way too many people on it...and they have goals to reduce the population of this planet by 90%....

Guy who's had his own personal armed security for decades. I'd love to see him answer that as a debate question. Would love more to see someone rub his nose in it with "You First".

Proves once again you don't have to have intelligence to become wealthy!!

Everyone does not pay that close attention to politics. Had a friend tell me as far as democrats were concerned he liked the sound of Bloomberg. When I told him Bloomberg’s stance on gun control , he was surprised. He said he had never had that. Hasbeen

Get rid of all your bodyguards and guns, you phugking elitist commie hypocrite.

Damn Swedes...

The shill moderators would never ask him those questions. They throw rose petals and blauxjobs at those commies.


Nothing stopping them from eating their own, though. Like The Bernie and Lieawatha Show.
