Washington Post - by Sean Sullivan
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) told NBC’s Jimmy Fallon on Thursday that more media attention needs to be paid to the nation’s gun violence problem, which he argued only catches the notice of the press after mass shootings like the one in Newtown, Conn.
“There’s 33 people killed in America with guns every single day of the year,” Bloomberg said on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” “And nobody seems to care. It only catches the press’s attention when it’s young kids concentrated. And it was terribly tragic — but there are kids killed every day all across this country.”
Bloomberg is one of the nation’s most vocal gun control advocates. After the shooting in Newtown, the mayor called on President Obama to make the issue his top priority.
“There’s just too many guns in the world and certainly in this country. And we’ve just got to do something about it,” said Bloomberg.
Lawmakers have fallen short when it comes to supporting existing regulations on guns, Bloomberg said. ”Congress doesn’t vote money to fund enforcement,” said the mayor.
Bloomberg also said he met this week with former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who nearly lost her life during a 2011 shooting rampage.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE FACT THAT AT LEAST 90% OF THESE MASS KILLERS WERE ON PRESCRIPTION ANTI-DEPRESSANTS?
I’m still amazed that the loudest voices in gun control are Jewish.
Bloomberg is half right, they fall short on reporting gun violence when said violence is used in self defense.
Im sure his armed guards would agree !
…what a fascist…..the pig doesn’t say a word about all the dead kids around the world who met their fate at the hands of the corrupt US Government… …kidnapping and torturing…war-crimes and millions of dead people all over the world because of people like this filth–of-a-mayor…who support the actions of an illegal, illegitimate government that is nothing more than a gang of thieves and war-criminals….sure Mr. Mayor…we need to surrender our Constitutional Rights to filthy pigs like yourself….nice try, Mr. Mayor….but you are losing the argument!

How does this clown spew this garbage, and still manage to keep a straight face?
Bewildering.
It’s a talent. lol
BAD talent.
“America’s Got Talent” material, he’s NOT! lol
America only has controlled and categorical talent called Socialism, thanks to our government.
“Bloomberg also said he met this week with former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who nearly lost her life during a 2011 shooting rampage.”
Does anyone else think that whole Giffords incident was staged and the guy only shot her with a blood capsule or something and that she was never really injured? Just look at the pictures of her being carried away in the stretcher. She didn’t even look that injured. It reminded me of the movie, “The Art Of War” with Wesley Snipes when the Japanese guy faked being shot by the sniper in order to set him up. She just seemed to have faked it all.
The loughner/glenn beck photo always made me raise an eyebrow.
