Bloomberg heckled by pro-gunners in Virgina

"'Fascist!': Michael Bloomberg heckled by gun rights activists in Virginia

RICHMOND, Virginia — A group of pro-Second Amendment activists heckled former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a campaign event early Saturday night.

Midway into Bloomberg’s remarks, one protester yelled, “You’re f---ing fascist! ... You’re a racist!” The crowd began to boo the heckler and chant, “We like Mike.”

The group of protesters, some of whom were wearing “guns save lives” stickers, began chanting “guns save lives” as security pushed them out of the premises.

Bloomberg, who helped spearhead support for Virginia Democrats who promised to pass gun control legislation in the commonwealth this year, boasted about helping the state legislature turn blue."

I like how the Washington Examiner calls these people "gun rights activists". Not.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and if I started acting crazy enough to trigger the "red flag" laws I would want someone to remove my guns.

I am certain that the 2nd amendment does not mean that psychotic patients and gangsters have any right to carry their guns on the street.
