HEADLINE:Bloomberg: Aurora should revive gun debate ---------------------------------------CAPTION: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the movie theater shooting in Aurora should make the debate on gun ownership an issue in the presidential election. (July 20)----------------------------------------COURTESY: Office of the Mayor of New York City John Gambling: Mayor Bloomberg, good morning. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg: Good morning, John. Gambling: Nice to see you as always. That deal in Aurora, just another horrific unexplainable mass murder. Mayor Bloomberg: You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it's time that the two people who want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country. And everybody always says, 'Isn't it tragic,' and you know, we look for was the guy, as you said, maybe trying to recreate Batman. I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it's just got to stop. 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, okay, tell us how. 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? I can tell you what we do here in New York. The State Legislature passed the toughest gun laws - some states may say no. That's okay, what do you want to do? And maybe every Governor should stand up. But in the end, it is really the leadership at a national level, which is whoever is going to be President of the United States starting next January 1st - what are they going to do about guns? Gambling: The reality is you know that will not happen. Mayor Bloomberg: Well, it'll happen, John, 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.
