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.

Imam BaraQ Hussein ‘GAY’ Obama
Obama is the only president not to pass gun control. W expanded the Brady bill. H.W. banned high capacity clips for assault weapons. Reagan introduced the Brady Bill and said the assassination attempt on him would have never happened with more strict gun control. Hell, H.W. Bush practically went to war with the NRA.
No one has been better for guns than obama and you guys are morons for thinking otherwise. Prove me wrong…
I hope every entitled redneck in this country takes to the streets with their rifles. I can’t wait to watch you get massacred by predator drones you can’t even see…
The human race would be stronger if people who believed this nonsense would die
You guys do realize that it is impossible to successfully confiscate all the firearms in the Unites States. No government official could do this even if they wanted to. Please stop being misinformed people. You’re literally getting angry due to being stupid
