“If the Democrats want to lose control, just go and support people killing each other with handguns on the streets, and the handguns in the hands of criminals and people with mental problems,” Bloomberg said at press conference Tuesday, as reported by Capital New York. Bloomberg continued: “If the Republicans want to win the Senate, what I would do is, I’d go out there and I’d say, ‘We support the Second Amendment, but we don’t want guns in the hands of criminals and people with mental problems. Period. That’s just dangerous. Whether you’re a gun owner or not.’”
