More death in a gun-free zone...

It is no coincidence that levels of violence and murder with guns are highest in traditionally gun-free zones, and where the loudest voices for "gun control" are heard.

How can it be that in the very city where the man with the deep-pockets who is behind most gun control initiatives rules, there can be this kind of violence?

Let's get real - people like Mayor Bloomberg think that if they can just prohibit enough things - and things they do not like - that they can build some kind of Utopian society where no one will die and guns will not walk the streets committing crime.  But this is a nation that cannot keep illegal drugs from hitting the streets, how do they think they will keep illegal guns from coming in to fill the demand (most demanded by those who could give a damn about laws).  When you ban guns and gun crime goes up  - well, get a clue if what you are doing is not working.

Guns do not commit crimes. Criminals commit crimes.  There is no evidence that lawfully owned and carried firearms are a source of crime.  There are stories every day of law-abiding citizens using firearms to protect themselves - often without firing a shot.

Until Bloomberg (or Emanual) or any other elitists are willing to go out and walk the streets of their cities, walk in the neighborhoods riddled with crime without their armed security in tow, they should not judge what others might need to do to protect themselves.
