NYC Anti Gun Mayor - No to National Guard

In what can only be deemed delusional, the extreme anti-gun NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has told the Brooklyn Borough President that he will not grant a request to send in the National Guard because, as he so eloquently put it, "“We don’t need it... The NYPD is the only people we want on the street with guns.”

The denial comes after the Brooklyn Borough President had said “In the name of public safety we need to send more National Guard personnel into Coney Island, Manhattan Beach, Gerritsen Beach, Red Hook, and any other locations.”

Markowitz demanded the National Guard’s help just an hour before Bloomberg’s press conference, claiming that the NYPD and FDNY are “brave, but overwhelmed” by all the challenges Sandy brought including flooding, power outages, and looting.

Markowitz hoped that the sight of an armed soldier would deter criminal activity in the still inaccessible evacuation zones but the Mayor said the NYPD was more than capable of handling the job.

Apparently, the Mayor does not believe that our military is competent enough to carry firearms in his beloved Shangri-La.

Now if he could only convey that message to the actual criminals in his fantasy world, instead of the law abiding citizens he wants to make criminals.

Seems Mayor Mike doesn’t want a “police state” in his precious city. A “nanny state” on the other hand is completely appropriate.

NYC needs to send this blustering billionaire packing. Rudy Giuliani he is not !!
