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.

Makes me feel like a babysitter for three year holds.
Our second amendment gun rights are to maintain a balance between our government and tyranny. Recognized by millions in all of our supreme courts, legal system, governorships, and our military. You go take your one Burger and enjoy.
Impeach the idiot in our White House. He’s a imposter of an American Patriot.
True, he has no authority to circumvent our constitution but that will not stop him from using federal agencies under his control to enforce his executive orders. Yes, this is an absolute abuse of power that he should clearly be impeached for.
So Warren Burger is wrong; what exactly is your point?! The Supreme Court has long ago ruled that the rights provided by The Second Amendment belong to individuals as an auxiliary right supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.
I’ve never seen someone so hell bent on trying to disarm citizens,this administration is the most anti american,non constitutional supporting of any I’ve seen..
Weather or not he is doing this for muslims takeover of America I don’t know. Probable…The other part is good old fashioned democratic communist party tactics of supporting illegal immigrants and refugees for potential future voters and it works.
All at the risk of Americans lives. The democratic communist party has blood on their hands and they know it but do not care.
MOLON LABE
The thought of martial law is stupid lmfao. Our military is made up of the people and swore an oath to protect us against all enemies foreign and domestic. If Obama even tried to go tyrannical on us it would be the last thing he ever did.
