Gun posted a comment over at the Bloomberg news site found here.
Below is what I wrote. I am curious if they will publish it. The readers should feel free to go there and make your own comments as well.
If guns are so evil and dangerous, then why does the owner of this newspaper request special privileges from the Island of Bermuda, so that his armed guards can carry firearms there in order to protect him. Seems kind of hypocritical, doesn't it?
Here is a quote from an article:
"The mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda — even most police officers do not use them — but the mayor’s guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment."

So international reciprocity is fine as long as it is for Mr Bloomberg, but national reciprocity is not good for the common law abiding vetted American citizen. Isn't that a double standard?
It is starting to appear, that those who want to control others because they 'might' break the law, are having a hard time controlling themselves:
