6/21/13, "1 in 12 on Bloomberg’s gun victims list are crime suspects," Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner
"A preliminary analysis of the list of shooting “victims” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s group Mayors Against Illegal Guns is reading at rallies for new gun control laws finds that one in 12 are crime suspects killed by police or armed citizens acting in self-defense.
The review of 617 killings found that 50 were suspects in crimes
ranging from assault to murder, not the type of violence Bloomberg’s
group suggests in its “No More Names”
campaign to draw attention to the estimated 6,000 gun death “tragedies”
since the mid-December Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in
Newton, Conn.
.
.
The group is using an online list published by Slate.com which simply lists the killings. In Concord, N.H. this week, Bloomberg’s group read the name of Boston Marathon terrorist Tamerlan Tsarnaev off the list during a rally. The group later apologized, saying that his name shouldn’t have been read because he was “not a victim.”...
.
.
“This calls into question every statistic that Bloomberg and MAIG
has used and will use to promote their cause,” said NRA spokesman Andrew
Arulanandam. “Bloomberg has proven that he will stop at nothing,
including repeating flawed statistics, in pursuit of his gun control
agenda. And he'll do this with no regard for the truth.”
Mayors Against Illegal Guns said they plan to scrub the list. They also said the focus shouldn’t be on the circumstances of the shootings, but the numbers, according to Buzzfeed....

A separate analysis looked at 13 gun deaths in Montana listed on
the Slate list used by Bloomberg’s group. It found that more than half
were the result of police shootings or suicide." Image above, 2/4/12, "NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg with his armed bodyguards. Reuters."

4/25/10, "New York’s Mayor, but Bermuda Shares Custody," NY Times, Michael Barbaro
"The mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda — even most police officers do not use them — but the mayor’s guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment....
Mr. Bloomberg often eats with members of his security detail. At Rustico, his favorite Italian restaurant in Bermuda, he stakes out an outdoor table for six and orders platters of herb-marinated chicken, tenderloin of beef and fresh orecchiette."...

Bloomberg spent $300 million of his own money to buy the NYC Mayor's office for 3 terms for the purpose of acting out his hatred of the American middle class:

"But it exposes what, aside from the policy failures,
is the most discomfiting aspect of the Bloomberg mayoralty: the mayor’s
use of his own personal resources to buy himself not only political
power but also political peace. In a manner unparalleled in American
history, Bloomberg in total spent in excess of $300 million to secure
office three times from an electorate that numbers fewer than 4 million
people (and of which only a third actually participate).
That is one issue. The other has to do with the way Bloomberg spent tens of millions of dollars annually between elections to make sure that not too many influential New Yorkers would risk criticizing him."...(see subhead, 'The Money Problem,' parag. 2, 3)

"Mr. Mayor, your citizen disarmament is an act of hypocrisy. Unlike nearly all the rest of us, everywhere you go you are surrounded by official armed guards, police escorts, and your highly trained personal private bodyguards. (See photo below). Mr. Mayor, is your life worth more than the lives of your fellow citizens?
Or are we mere “subjects” in your eyes?...

This apparent elitism on your part makes your recent
publicity stunt in Arizona even more cynical. You sent NYPD agents all
the way across the country to purchase guns -- but you can't deploy
enough police to protect your own City residents?
And if you expose your city’s residents via such a manpower
diversion, how do you justify denying these residents the right to
protect themselves with a firearm?
Mr. Mayor, do you need a rabbi to tell you that your actions are wrong and immoral?
This nation’s Bill of Rights is a sacrosanct public trust. You are a public servant. You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. As you blatantly disregard the Second Amendment, the actual “Guardian” of all the rest of the Bill of Rights, I must ask you:
.
Did you knowingly lie when you took your oath of office?...

Are you aware that Senator Thomas Dodd asked the Library of Congress to
translate the Nazi Gun Control Laws into English for him, and that he
incorporated language from these laws into the Gun Control Act of 1968
that he authored? How can it be that you, a Jew, are enforcing
Nazi-inspired laws?"

2/10/11, "How Bloomberg Does Business," The Nation, Aram Roston
"Though Bloomberg doesn’t run the day-to-day affairs of Bloomberg LP, he still owns almost all the shares, handpicks the firm’s managers, talks with them as much as he feels he needs to, and therefore imposes his own will on the firm when he likes. (New York’s ineffectual Conflicts of Interest Board limited but never fully defined the mayor’s role at the company he founded: the board allows him to “maintain the type of involvement that he believes is consistent with his being the majority shareholder.”)...
Given Bloomberg’s push for a national platform, any intersections between his corporation’s interests and the government warrant scrutiny. And Bloomberg LP runs an effective and sophisticated lobbying shop to promote the firm’s interests with federal agencies and Congress.
