I appreciate his leadership on the issue.

what should we call that?

Anyway, the answer is still unkown.

Hypocrite
hypocrit:{noun}

Someone whose behavior contradicts their own teachings or philosophy AND who is not a supporter of gun control who agrees with Shares (AKA Loudly).

Somebody needs to go first to suggest that a change be made.

It doesn't mean a nuclear power unilaterally disarms just because it recognizes arms proliferation is a problem.

Any country that teaches that countries shouldn't have nuclear arms while keeping their own stockpile is hypocritical.

Now there is a difference between saying that Kim Jong Il and Ahamjinadad shouldn't have nukes because they are insane and credible threats to the innocent and saying that countries in general shouldn't have nukes.

If Bloomie stopped at saying that insane people and violent felons shouldn't have guns he wouldn't be a hypocrite (on that subject, at least).

Is it hypocritical for the USA to suggest that nuclear arms reduction even among the "rightful" superpowers would be beneficial to the world?

I see that as Bloomie in this analogy.

America can say: "Less nuclear arms are better, and we would like to work with the Soviets to lower our arsenals. We would also like others to join us in decreasing the number of nuclear arms." That is not hypocritical.

America cannot say: "India and France have no right to nuclear arsenals" while maintaining their own arsenal--at least not without being hypocritical.

..........................

Bloomie can say: "Less guns are better, and I am decreasing my armed detail and getting rid of some of my private guns, and I would like other citizens to join me in getting rid of guns." That is not hypocritical.

Bloomie cannot say: "I am an important and special person with my own army and with special rights. There is no equality under the law, despite what the Constitution says, so as a special person, I can have and/or carry my personal weapons while forbidding others to do the same. Jane Smith, who has been put in the hospital several times by her lunatic ex and is under death threats is not a special person; yes she's threatened just as surely as I am, but I'm better than her. So my lackeys at the police department, who issued my special papers, can laugh in her face, bully her, give her the runaround and deny her the same treatment I got." That would be hypocrisy.

I would most definately make him a hypocrite.

Make them look a lot like the 1% though to a woman are better than anything the repukes would offer up.

and I believe in gun control...
It doesn't mean I want to take your guns away.
The state I live in has pretty strict gun control laws and yet between my husband and I we have 4 legal guns. all kinds of ammo, all legal The gun control laws have not hindered me as a legal gun owner at all..

policeman who carried in NY City.

"Guns kill people" Bloomie quipped.

Of course none of the reporters, at least as far as I know, asked Bloomie why his detail is armed with guns. I guess that would be like a peasant asking a lord why he got the freshest and best food while the peasant and his family got gruel.
