It certainly didn’t take NYC Mayor Bloomberg long to jump on the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn. and start using it to push his own personal agenda.  Way to go, Bloomberg.  Don’t waste a crisis, right?

Yes, Bloomberg, play on the emotions of a country that is in shock from children — innocent children — being slaughtered.  Never mind any of the details that have yet to be discovered or shared with those not directly involved in the case.  Insinuate that you have all the answers and know best how to prevent such a nightmare from ever happening again.  Go ahead, but many of us know differently.  Many of us know that the system has often been the hindrance and big government, especially big brother, isn’t the way to make the world safer for anyone, including the children.

According to, “NYC Mayor Bloomberg slams Obama on guns: ‘We need immediate action’, by Beth Fouhy (The Ticket – 12/14/12):

Bloomberg, a longtime gun control advocate, released a statement through Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an advocacy group he co-founded with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.

“President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem,” Bloomberg said. “Calling for ‘meaningful action’ is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership—not from the White House and not from Congress.”

We haven’t seen leadership?  This coming from someone that thinks he has the duty to ban 32 oz. drinks and to pressure women to breast feed? Bloomberg thinks it is leadership, to take advantage of the deaths of innocent children, though he is without all the facts involving this horrendous act of cowardice?  Looks more like politics to me.  Shame on you, Bloomberg.
