Bloomberg's office equates sparklers with weapons of terror

The New York state legislature passed a bill that would allow sparklers, those devious weapons that take so many lives and couldn't possibly be turned into anything other than a hot sparkling wire, between from June 1st and July 5th, as well as between December 26th and January 2nd.

Bloomie loses his mind seeing this as a veiled attempt to allow terrorists into NYC, even though the law exempts NYC, sparklers = terror.

Don't believe Johnny, no please read it for yourself:

“While this bill excludes New York City, legalizing these devices everywhere else in the state would, as a practical matter, have the same effect in the five boroughs,” Joseph Garba, the mayor’s state legislative director, said in a memo obtained by the NY Post. “A recent attempt to harm innocent lives provides a frightening example of how legally purchased... fireworks can cause dramatic harm and even kill.”

Yes the Times Square bomber who failed miserably bought some M-88 firecrackers in Pennsylvania to try and turn those into a bomb of some kind. So what does stopping sparklers have to do with fireworks that explode? Nothing of course but as you know Michael Bloomberg sees terror behind every 20 oz. Big Gulp. They called sparklers "devices" which makes you wonder just how overboard you have to go before the people just tune you out completely.
