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.

Proof?
Liam OGrady can you understand the part where you’re an inbred moron?
Speaking of research, have you looked up “paranoid schizophrenia”?
Wake up people. The last gasp of Obama will be a gun ban. Feb 1 out of staters will no longer be allowed to carry in Va. Coumo is at war with Penn over Penn’s gun laws. Obama will bypass Congress with several gun laws, The spineless wusses in Congress will let it stand. A resurrection of the “assault” weapon has been proposed. Let your Congressmen know you are mad and will not take it any more.
We can squabble til the cows come home but when they come for our guns, we either take a stand or we cave ….me, I stand fast ….you fold if you so choose. Government is out of control. We’ve been quiet too long as it is. I’m not willingly giving up any more freedom. Time to take it back.
It will be we Americans not putting up with any more nonsense.
Who knows what this man can do or not do…..supposely by some people he is our “God”.
Take away obamas security gun and see how long he lasts.
Canada has a registry (but citizens can still own guns), New York state, among others, has had a registry for over 2 decades. Many other nations do – but no nation has our proliferation of guns. Therefore, I do not think the US would get to a “confiscation” as you speak of. We are a different case entirely.
It’s about time somebody stood up to the rotten f****** NRA
