While speaking at an overwhelmingly wealthy, white audience at the Aspen Institute, former New York City mayor and leading gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg expressed his desire to see young minorities stripped of their gun rights. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Everytown USA funder reportedly believes male minorities between the ages of 15 and 25 are responsible for most murders. That's why, he argued, cities need to take guns away from that group.
"These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed," the Aspen Times reported Bloomberg said to the audience. "They just don't have any long-term focus or anything."
"It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger."
There's no report on how, exactly, Bloomberg wants to see young minority men disarmed.
