@HH - I haven’t seen a good candidate in many of the past presidential elections. I don't judge a candidate's ability or integrity by their wealth; however, I believe many of our politicians are just 'out of it' because they are so privileged and don’t understand what it is like to live from paycheck to paycheck. I see their main concern at achieving greater self-wealth. That is how I view Bloomberg.

@Lana: Safe to assume you are not voting for Mitt Romney based on that wealth argument?

What does Bloomberg know about anything related to normal people who don't live a life of super wealth like him? He's worth billions and does not live in the real world. The guy just loves to be the center of attention. What a selfish pig he is.

Clearly there can be a compromise between no guns... and automatic machine guns. No one is offering up an outright ban on guns. But what purpose does it serve to have an everyday citizen able to purchase an AK 47? Moreover, the argument that a nut job will "get the weapons anyway" is rather ridiculous. Why have any laws in that case? Clearly the goal should be to make it as difficult as possible for people to carry out there types of acts.

How about stricter psychos-on-the-loose laws?? All of those bipolar, skitzo and personality disorder ppl are more scary and ppl get ccw's to protect against 'those' people.
