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.

I am far from an Obama Supporter, after reading this I agree. If a guy has to purchase from a gun show without showing that he is responsible, that is wrong. Never thought I would agree with this idiot but it makes sense. If criminals know they can go to gun shows and walk out with a weapon we have a problem. This should not effect the rest of us responsible gun owners.
No President has the power to over ride the constitution ……..
Come and try get my guns you worthless Muslim
You’ll be sorry!
This is Treason!

Lee, you have no understanding of history do you. Registration and confiscating weapons goes hand in hand. Look at California and their new laws. Rounding up, and killing political dissidents does not come long after once it becomes easy to label them as an enemy of the state, and they have been doing that for years.
This will be the start of civil war and thats what obama is pushing for.
creeps with armed body guards have nothing to say about guns period
