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.

America is supposed to be the greatest country in the world. It does not matter what ANY other country does with their gun laws, we as free people, as citizens supposedly protected by our Constitution…why in the HELL are we afraid of our government??? They pass these gun laws and attempt to disarm people, one by one they will come to homes and try to take weapons. These gun owners will shoot and kill as many soldiers as they can before they themselves are shot and killed. Bear in mind people these soldiers will not be US soldiers, they will be tyrannical supporters who under your constitution you ARE allowed to shoot. That is why they are making the constitution irrelevant. Once panic and disorder has struck our country, our enemy armies will invade us in our weakened un-united states of america… and that’s where it’s going to get really interesting.
The Supreme Court will stop him if not he’s walking a thin line
I’m ready!!!
He can’t do it, so don’t get your panties in a bunch, it would take an act from congress and that won’t happen
Get real people, they are not going to take our guns. Stop believing every thin you read on here.
In yet another unconstitutional move, the President will illegally impose regulations drafted for him by the second biggest individual political contributor in the US, nanny state billionaire Mike Bloomberg. Corruption, money in politics, and the Obama Administration. Consistency.
Get out Obama.
God help us.
That’s what he wants to happen
I will die before those sob’s get my guns! So come one you Mf’rrs I’m ready! I’m old and ready and have nothing to lose.
