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.

You are free to take my arms when ever you wish. I will gladly give my bullets first. Catch them quick cause they fly very fast.
Saweeet
Exec away all you want. NOBODY TAKES MY GUN AWAY.
Yes, any weapons law beside the Second Amendment is illegal and null and void before written. We bear,own,possess,concealed or open carry our weapons without limit,restriction period.
Albert, you aren’t familiar with our founding law. Read it, learn it, uphold it or go elsewhere. More people die from car accidents than from guns. You want to get rid of cars? Hammers have been used twice this year to murder two different individuals. Do you want to get rid of hammers? People kill people and when they do, they must answer. Doing away with guns won’t save anyone. You listen to much to propaganda. You’ve been made into the stupid pet the elitists want.
Buncha fools.
Not going to happen…… You will never…….ever take away my right to protect myself and my family…. Arrest this insane maniac before he destroys us….. Civil war will weaken the nation…..leaving it open to invasion…… This is HIS agenda ….. WAKE UP AMERICA…!! 2016 could very well be the year we see a foreign war on our own soil…..
I hope
Good luck Obama with your BS order.
I hope Barry like to “eat lead”.
