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.

Lol civil war, you don’t know where to Begin
Hillary Clinton: “I worry greatly that the rhetoric coming from the Republicans, particularly Donald Trump, is sending a message to Muslims here in the United States and literally around the world that there is a ‘clash of civilizations,’ that there is some kind of Western plot or even ‘war against Islam,’ which then I believe fans the flames of radicalization.
“So guns have to be looked at as its own problem, but we also have to figure out how we’re going to deal with the radicalization here in the United States…”
Clinton: …“Mr. Trump has a great capacity to use bluster and bigotry to inflame people and to make them think there are easy answers to very complex questions. So what I would say is, number one, we need to be united against the threats that we face. We need to have everybody in our country focused on watching what happens and reporting it if it’s suspicious, reporting what you hear. Making sure that Muslim Americans don’t feel left out or marginalized at the very moment when we need their help….
“And we also need to make sure that the really discriminatory messages that Trump is sending around the world don’t fall on receptive ears. He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. So I want to explain why this is not in America’s interest to react with this kind of fear and respond to this sort of bigotry.”
that moment he should be arrested for violating his oath of office.
Theres some really weird things being said here-WoW
The KooKoo clocks are really ticking today-
The result of Obama executive orders imposing gun control will be civil disobedience.
Tony Furlan What pile have you had your head in? Just wondering because you seem to have missed all the laws obama has violated, including the ones where he has given aid and comfort to the enemy. You also missed where he pulled us out of a war too soon. You also missed where he wanted to go to war with Rusdia. But hey, when you worship the ground the snake in chief slithers on, that’s understandable.
No Civil War…..THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT….ELECT NEXT PRESIDENT AND CONTINUE FORWARD….ALL YOU AMERICAN SOKDIERS! ELECT THE NEW PRESIDENT AND REGAIN AMERICAN VALUES!!!!
