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 don’t know much about history, do you? Or do you only believe what the crazy right wing sites tell you?

his actions are intentional…to create a situation to declare martial law and suspend elections/stay in power… 🙁
I bet Hillard would suck Obama’s wiener if you had a chance
The last time Obama attempted to enact gun control via executive order it was shot down, as it should have been. Any further attempts will be met with the same recourse. Of course, this will not stop him from pushing, so we must keep fighting, but don’t be fooled by the panderings of a fool to fools. The people will never stand for a federal confiscation regardless of what laws are passed. Mind you no executive order is law.
Come get my guns personally you piece of Muslim scum!
Dang! Just like in Biblical times! Barak is a Prophet! Just like his favorite rock stars of the 60’s and 70’s. Go get em Tiger. ps please send me a LASER gun for x-mas next year…..lmao
It’s so much deeper than that…..but that layer is true.
