Bloomberg’s Gun Control Rally Names Boston Bomber as Victim of Gun Violence

At a June 18 gun control rally in New Hampshire sponsored by New York mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns group, the name of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was read aloud as a recent victim of gun violence.

Throughout the rally, organizers read a list of names of people who had been killed with guns since the Dec. 14 shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

When they read Tsarnaev’s name, pro-gun supporters who were at the rally to counter Bloomberg’s group began shouting, “He’s a terrorist,” according to a report by Tim Buckland of the New Hampshire Union-Leader.

So, I went to the New Hampshire Union Leader.  Sure enough, Reporter Tim Buckland wrote about this, Apology issued for naming of Boston bomber as a victim of gun violence at Concord rally.

On the other hand, if "gun control" means the police on the beat don't carry guns, amybe this makes some kind of sense.  Does "gun control" mean the beat cops don't carry guns?  Are there any "gun control" advocates out there who can help us out on this?
