As the Obama Administration prepares to tighten access to guns, the President met Wednesday with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to help complete the executive order that would expand background checks on gun sales while closing the “gun show loophole”.
Bloomberg is only one of many gun control advocates the president has met with in recent weeks. The order, which is currently caught in a web of legal and administrative questions is currently without a timeline.
However, even as he works to chip away at another constitutional right, a new survey is showing falling support for a ban on assault weapons, which both Obama and Bloomberg are currently advocating as a means to prevent gun-related deaths. Hillary Clinton also pushed for an assault ban during a campaign speech earlier this week.
In the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns group turned into Everytown for Gun Safety with the expectations of being able to stand against the NRA. The group spent millions, most of which came from Bloomberg’s own fortune, only to fall just short of their goals on several different occasions.

Yes because Jesus Christ supports white American bigots who judge others by faith and race.
It worked for the Indians didn’t it??
Obama must order every person who own a gun to surrender it to the goverment and anyone who fails to do so must be arrested and be sent to jail for many years.America must become a gun free zone.Many people have died because of guns as if the country is at war.The number of people killed by terrorist in USA is less than the number killed by crazy american who own guns.One will say that crimanals must surrender there illegal guns too.Only the FBI,CIA,police etc must be the only one who must carry a gun.If this is done,USA will be a better place.
It’s against the law to use the federal military in domestic matters.
