Bloomberg Demands Specifics From Obama, Romney on Gun Control Hours after the Aurora, Colo., mass shootings early this morning, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg demanded that President Obama and Mitt Romney do more than try to console the victims and survivors by explaining to the country how they will prevent this type of gun violence. "There are so many murders with guns every day, it's just got to stop," Bloomberg told the John Gambling radio show. And this is a real problem. No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities -- specifically what are they going to do about guns? We can talk about it on the talk shows, we can wring our hands and say it's terrible. You know, 'I need more guns to protect myself,'" Bloomberg continued. That strategy doesn't work. Bloomberg, who has been the mayor of the country's largest city for a decade, has overseen a significant drop in the city's crime rate. He said Friday that the problem of gun violence is "growing and it's not just an inner-city, east coast, west coast, big city phenomenon. Aurora is not a big city. Under Colorado's gun laws it was legal for James Holmes, the 24-year-old Aurora, Colo., man who law enforcement has named as the suspect in today's shootings, to carry in his car the loaded assault-style rifle and shotgun that he allegedly used to kill at least 12 and wound at least 50 movie-goers. The Century 16 Movie Theater where Holmes allegedly opened fire does anyone to carry firearms on the premises, including holders of concealed handgun permits, said Dudley Brown, the executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, which lobbies against gun control laws. Brown said that while it is legal to have loaded handguns, rifles and shotguns in an apartment or in a vehicle, the alleged Aurora shooter "was in violation of many things" by the time he stepped foot on the theater's property "because of his intent" to kill. The Brady Campaign, which pushes for strict gun control laws, ranked Colorado's gun laws in the top third of all states, commending Colorado for closing the "gun show loophole" that allowed people to purchase weapons at gun shows without background checks. During Attorney General Eric Holder's confirmation hearing in 2008, Holder said the Obama administration was in favor of closing this gun show loophole , but the administration has not taken any action on the issue. The Brady Campaign gave Obama an "F" in 2010 for his "lack of leadership" on gun control. "If it was one of your kids yesterday in Aurora, maybe you'd stand up and say I'm not going to take this anymore," Bloomberg said. And instead of the two people -- President Obama and Governor Romney -- talking in broad things about they want to make the world a better place, OK, tell us how. Addressing what was supposed to be a campaign rally in Ft. Meyers, Florida this morning, Obama put himself in the shoes of the shooting victim's parents. "My daughters go to the movies," Obama said. What if Malia and Sasha had been at the theater, as so many of our kids do every day? Obama did not make any comments related to gun control laws, but his Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Friday morning that "the president believes we need to take common sense measures that protect the Second Amendment rights of Americans while ensuring that those who should not have guns under existing laws do not get them." As a candidate in 2008, Obama said he supported a permanent reinstatement of the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. His Attorney General Holder said during his confirmation hearing that the president also supports a ban on "cop-killer bullets," which are designed to penetrate bulletproof vests. The Obama administration has not taken action on either of these issues. Romney also altered his planned campaign speech today to say that he was "heartbroken" over the shooting. He also did not mention the issue of gun control during his remarks. Both candidates support the Second Amendment right to own guns, but the issue, which has played a large role in previous elections, has not been prevalent on the campaign trail in 2012. At a appearance last week in Grand Junction, Colo., about 250 miles from the site of today's shooting, last week Romney said that "people should have the right to bear arms for whatever legal purpose they have in mind, simple answer." During a campaign event in February Romney told the crowd that he owns two shotguns. "We have a right in this country to bear arms and I know that there are people who think that somehow that should change and they keep looking for laws for a way to stop awful things from happening," Romney said in February. "And there are awful things that happen but there already are laws that are designed to protect people and unfortunately people violate the laws," he said. So trying to find more laws to change bad behavior isn't the answer, the answer is to find that bad behavior the people who are inclined to bad behavior.
