Yeah, for people who aren't in the gun hobby space, Bloomberg in particular is really weird about guns. I'm not talking like effective ways of reducing violence, he's constantly throwing money at pushing Kafkaesque regulations like this. His general strategy seems to be trying to reduce violent crime by making as much random unrelated stuff an arrestable offense as possible to the point where it (surprise) just makes it easier for cops to continue the cycle in low income communities.
Literally criminalize as many people as possible, to reduce their financial liquidity and secure his place as a rich dude. Look at any Rich dudes actions and it's all about making sure it's harder for other people to get rich.
I heard one of the Green Brothers claim that billionaires tend to develop really strange out of touch opinions. To me, they often seem a mixture of stupid and self-serving. I suspect any actual laws will be undermined within a month, but it's really annoying that these people keep sticking their nose in other people's business.
I've worked directly with some startup founders and they tend to not understand selection bias very thoroughly. Rather, they see themselves as inherently smarter than other people and eventually they determine that all the decisions they make must be the right ones. Even when their success is very obviously luck they eventually start to think as of they have an infallibility field around them which drives some extremely odd behaviors.
That makes a lot of sense and is also really frustrating. You had some luck in life and so everything you think must be absolutely correct.
The goal of a lot of crap gun control (and a lot of weird regulation) is pretty clearly to de facto ban things by nickle and diming endless seemingly reasonable small safety measures that people ignorant of issues will vote for because they seem like easy common sense.
