This is one of the most disgraceful pieces of video I have ever seen. For a mayor of a city (New York) to publicly call for the police force to go on strike is a crime against the citizens that live in that city. I actually think that he meant all police in the USA. As for the interviewer, Morgan is one of the most sleazy, so called journalists that has ever lived. Gun ownership in the US is written into the constitution in the second amendment. The right to bear arms. here in the UK it is against the law to have a gun unless one is vetted and purchases a licence. The fact of the matter is, criminals will always get their hands on weapons. You can pass any gun control laws you like, they will still get guns. For saying what he said, Mayor Bloomberg should be removed from his post immediately.
One instance when carrying a gun saved lives occurred in the US a few days ago when a Mr Williams was in an internet cafe when two armed males entered the cafe and threatened to fire. Mr Williams pulled out his concealed handgun and fired at them. They understandably left in a hurry. If he had not been able to lawfully carry a gun, criminals, who pay no attention to the law could probably have ended the lives of the people in the cafe.
I realise that it is a sensitive issue and I don't mean to denigrate ordinary people who have been the victims of gun crime that are calling for tighter controls. I would just like everyone to take a step back and think the whole issue through. Knee jerk reactions seldom work. Till next time.
