Statement from Mayor Nanny Bloomberg

"With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it's still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We heard it after Virginia Tech. After Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek. And now we are hearing it again. For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with guns. Today, many of them were five-year olds. 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. 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. That must end today. This is a national tragedy and it demands a national response. My deepest sympathies are with the families of all those affected, and my determination to stop this madness is stronger than ever.

It is impossible.

Guns are prohibited by federal law in schools.

So this is imaginary.

Listen...

If there was ever a time to dig in your heels now is it.

It is not just "gun rights" on the line, it is all rights.

You want TSA cameras in your home, you want DHS frisking you before you leave your house? Then dig in now for the fight of our lives.

I'm quite serious, this is it, it's on, this is the opening sequence of what will be the final determination of whether we will even pretend to have free society or not.

I agree, this is the line in the sand. These fedcoats are going to start a civil war if they want to push this, which is exactly what I talked about with Matt Bracken last week.
