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 people are morons to believe he is a Muslim. Why does he go to church, drink beer, eat pork? Just because he once had a slip of the tongue doesn’t make it true. Stop spreading lies. By the way, so what if he was a Muslim.

Trenton E. Roper You mean you like big government when it comes to the 1% and corporations? Is that the type of big government you’re talking about? No, I don’t live under a rock. I’ve traveled all over the world, did 1 3/4 tours in Vietnam, have 2 undergrad and a graduate degree. No, I know what’s going on and it isn’t getting my information from Faux News.
Ronnie, you quote your phony TV judge and I’ll quote the following: US Chief Justice Warren Burger was a very traditional American gentleman, a keep churchgoer, and an occasional sport hunter. And this is what he had to say about gun control:
“The gun lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires.”
Good its time
He needs to leave guns alone unless he wants all of us killed! Gun free zones are dangerous for citizens.If you dont protect yourself nobody else will!
