For example, Bloomberg never meet a gun. other than his own, that he did not want,ban, confiscate or outright steal.

Hat tip and more, McCain: [2]
Earlier today I talked about how Mayor Bill de Blasio’s agenda will turn New York City into a squalid nightmare. He has chosen an odd starting spot for his effort to destroy the city’s economy: About 200 people who earn their living as horse-drawn carriage drivers.
