During a Fox News town hall Monday, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg was confronted by a citizen who demanded to know why the 2020 presidential candidate gets an armed security team armed with so-called "assault weapons" while simultaneously trying to strip citizens' of their right to protect themselves and their families with those very same weapons.

And it was beautiful.

"You have an armed security detail that is likely equipped with the same firearms and magazines you seek to ban the common citizen from owning. Does your life matter more than mine or my family's, or these people’s?" the man asked.

Bloomberg responded that he's allowed to have an armed security detail because he gets “40 or 50 threats per week, and some of them are real."

“That just happens when you’re the mayor of New York City, or you’re very wealthy, or you campaigning for president of the United States,” he added, just before saying that he pays for his armed guard entirely by himself, seeming to imply that being rich and famous makes one worthy of physical protection from threats.
 


Bloomberg then falsely alleged that “The only restrictions which I’m in favor of is to prevent us from selling guns to people with psychiatric problems, criminals or people that are minors,” apparently forgetting that he's also pushing for curtailing law-abiding, adult Americans’ Second Amendment right to own and bear certain sporting rifles such as the AR-15.
