Bloomberg is an idiot

“If you go and buy 50 guns, you're not buying that to go hunting,” said Bloomberg. “If you're buying paint to paint your gun so it looks like a child’s gun, you're not doing that to fool a deer. If you're going out and you’re trying to buy a gun which is advertised ‘armor-piercing bullets,’ the last time I saw an elk wear a bullet-proof vest was an awful long time ago.”

Golly Mr. Bloomberg, you're so darn clever. In one fell swoop you managed to quash every single argument a person can make for the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I don't know why those rednecks would have a problem with your common sense proposals.

Well, Mayor Bloomber, thank you for some of the stupidest blithering I have ever heard.

1. "Armor piercing" refers to tungsten-core steel plate defeating military rounds. Already illegal for civilians.
2. If an elk was wearing body armor, the usual round you would use to kill him would work just fine anyway. No "armor piercing rounds" necessary. High power rifle rounds go through "bullet proof vests."

I won't go on. I haven't heard anything this stupid since John Kerry claimed that he deer hunts crawling on his belly through the weeds with his trusty double barrel shotgun.

To clarify the issue of what "armor piercing" actually means (in the eyes of the law) go here:
