National Bloomberg Unveils Super Bowl Ad Focusing On Gun Control

[Jonnyuma]

I can't fault the NFL for taking Bloomberg's money. As silly and insipid as we know him to be, he's a political candidate on a national stage (I'll stop well short of calling him "legitimate") and the Super Bowl is about making money. Nevermind that the execs in charge agree with his nonsense... who would think that they would do any different?

Now, if they REFUSED an ad from a conservative candidate... well, that would get my back up. Would I feel the same if they refused a socialist? No. I'd be curious about the why. I might even think it was wrong, but I'm not going to fight their fight for them.

The NFL will never know or care that they are being ignored by me because I was never a fan anyway. They'll never know or care WHY I don't watch and SB Sunday will be no different.

Ditto never being a fan. Just don't get the appeal, though many in my family do. The only sport I used to watch was boxing and even that now, meh.

 

[Dwesson]

I don't see him winning the nomination. But, as I've said this before, but if Bloomberg can get on as VP he'll have ample time to devote to his pet projects.

Love him or hate him, if you value your 2A rights you need to vote for Orange Man.

My guess is most folks that were that successful as he was in business aren't going to settle for a second place VP pick. Could be wrong obviously but would be surprised.

Then again the Democrats are legit trying to have a whiter older and just as male docket as the Republicans, wonder how that would fly with Biden or Bernie on top and Bloomturd as VP lol.

Welp, don't think his name is involved in the Iowa Caucasus, so there is that... He's not got much of the polling percentage either, but stranger things have happened.

personally, I'm tired of seeing his commercials every 6-8 minutes on cable, each and every one of them insults my intelligence. Let's hope they're having the same effect on the rest of America...

Boycott watching the game.

Actually no.

Watch the game right up to the point where the ad runs and then turn the channel.

-E-

 

[bbbass]

I really don't care what ads they put on or who buys them...

Was a maniac football and baseball fan as a kid and as a young man. Watched on TV and went to the stadiums for pro games. Later, realized how much time I was spending indoors when I could be outside, and my teams always were Bozos in the playoff anyways. So I quit about the time I started raising a family.

Many years later, I was spending winters on the AZ desert in a 5th wheel and besides taking walks or riding bike, there wasn't a lot to do w/o a dirt bike or a 4whlr. Dry camping, no hookups. Didn't run the generator just to watch tv on weeknights but started watching a bit of NFL. Kaepernick killed that for me. I could take him protesting, but when the league pussied out and went all in with the players, uh uh.

Never did watch basketball or hockey. A bit of golf when Tiger was so good. Baseball in the fall playoff/series season. Otherwise not much of a sports fan. I do greatly miss The American Sportsman though!

Of all the clowns in this current freak show he is, with the possible exception of Sanders, the one that worries me the most. He has a financial and media empire and nearly limitless funds. Fortunately, the fact he's pure scum is pretty hard to hide, so we've got that going for us.

 

[rupey7]

Super Bowl fans, a big audience but is it the right one for gun control advertising? Sounds like a better advertising opportunity for a Cabela's commercial.

 

[WoodsPlinker]

The Bloomberg tv ads keep popping up for us.... My thumb is getting pretty good with the mute button.

 

[BPOR11]

Dumbburg is all in...he's putting it all on Red.

And, he's planning on bypassing God's judgement and going straight to his Rightful Place in heaven!

All hail the king

 

[leadcounsel]

Like I said boycott it all. Hit them in their wallets. Stop buying their junk.

If you really want to punch the antis in the mouth, cut your cable, stop caring about their sports, and stop going to see their movies, etc. Stop giving them billions of dollars that they use to destroy this nation. Just stop. Vote with your dollars.

I haven't cared about or watched ANY full sports game in maybe a decade. I haven't paid to go see a movie in at least 5 years, and have probably gone to less than 5 movies in the last decade.

Stop giving them your time and money.

I never paid attention to the NFL and I still don't give a hoot about them. That goes for sports and celebrity people in general.

ALL sports including the Olympics have been hijacked and turned into something NASTY with SJW crapola in my not so humble opinion. Your mileage may vary. NO problem!

(Swimming does interest me and I LOVE to swim!)

If I was a fan of football, the Super Bowl and the NFL, I would have QUIT THEM when the overpaid, disrespectful and cry baby SJW players started kneeling all over the NFL and in ALL other sports games. Professional, college and high school.

I do pay attention, kind of - lol, to the Army/Navy game even if I do NOT LIKE, understand or watch football. I go in and out of the room, cheer both sides but mainly for the USN and I like to see our military men and women at the game. I stand up, sing out loud and put my hand on my heart IF I am in the room when the national anthem is on too!

My late husband and my MT husband liked to watch the ENTIRE Army/Navy game.

Added more: I have never watched an entire game of football on the boob tube since it does not interest me. I have only been to 1 football game in my entire life when I was about 16 (?) years old. City College was playing Polytechnic Institute in Baltimore, MD. My friend went to Poly and it was a big, famous game and he invited me to go. I went even though I did not like football just to see what the hoopla was all about. I was BORED but the music was okay in the middle of the game. I do not even remember who won that famous annual game now @ 69 years old. My older brother (9 years older.) went to City before his Army time and Federal government job. I just could not believe how people LOVED football and got into it that much. I still do not understand it!

Bloomberg, any other person, any candidate, any conservative, any libertarian, the NRA or any pro gun group can BUY AD TIME if the SELLER is willing to sell them AIR TIME for their ads.

I don't like his ads, I do not like MOST ads on the boob tube, so I have a choice. I turn it all OFF, I change the channel, I mute it, and/or I ignore it. I have chosen to hear some of his ads as I have chosen to hear ads from all other sides too.

There are some ads that I do not know about since I only have OTA - free boob tube reception by CHOICE. No dish or cable connection for the boob tube. I do have a cable connection for the internet computer connection too. I want to DROP that but my husband does want that connection for now.

Did any PRO RKBA gun group BUY ads for this game?

The gun ads that I see on the boob tube are all about ANTI gun stuff or calling some person to remove your guns for you while you have some MENTAL ISSUE.

I don't follow sports other than hearing/reading who won the World Series in the news. Baseball makes sense as a GAME to me and I played it a bit as a kid. I swam the most. I liked to dive but I loved to swim the most. I liked to ice skate/roller skate and played tennis a bit too. I did NOT ice skate a lot but my late husband did growing up. He skated on rivers and lakes. I did the ice arena in MD and in his former state where I lived for a long time. He took me to a nice ice arena at his old university. He taught me how to stop ice skating in a moment instead of me grabbing or crashing into the fence at the edge of the ice or falling on my butt! LOL

My older brother played baseball, swam a lot and was in a bowling league with our church group when he was a teen, young man and into his middle or late 60's.

Don't feed the beast if you don't like what the beast is doing to you and your freedom.

The NFL ( National Felon League) can shove their whole sharade and Bloomturd up their felon arse with no lube.

 

[whiskeybill]

Bloomberg is getting pretty handy at the liberal playbook. He calls Trump a demagogue. Pot calling the kettle black, that one.

If he happens to get to any elected office, there are laws in place where he can't use his personal fortune to swing local elections. This guy is so full of "Quid Pro Quo" he makes Trump look like a piker.

This could back fire millions of Redneck Football fans will now know what a poo head he is.

I wondered about how they got that number. According to the article, it also turns out the subject of the ad was a gang banger.

 

[DivCurlGrad72]

Comment from the article below:

He [Bloomberg] did worse than that (as he always does). The narrator / star of his commercial, Ms. Kemp, lost her son, George Kemp, Jr. to a gang fight. He wasn't sitting innocently in a classroom or at home or in a restaurant when he was randomly shot by a wild 2A supporting cowboy. No. He was shot after he and a group of friends quite purposefully drove in a car to a gang fight Kemp himself orchestrated via calls and texts.

I could imagine it's true, but unlike the MSM, I'd like to see the above claim verified.

Bloomberg Super Bowl Ad Inflates Child Deaths to Push for Gun Control | National Review

Bloomberg ran a 60-second Super Bowl ad which made the claim that “2,900 children die from gun violence every year.”

yeah according to the article that number includes "kids" up to 20 years old, includes gang shootings.
How about we outlaw gangs?

 

[nammac]

How about throwing the book at know gang members in possession of a firearm, after all they're likely felons already...

hos advertisements insult my intelligence, hope most Americans feel that way too!
