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.

Good chance if a civil war would happen his guards would probably take him out
No red blooded american is gonna step foot iinside another man’s home and risk being shot at the expense of siezing his guns. Obama, you want my guns come get em yourself. Make sure your the first one through my doors. Got a little surprise for you.
Obama will not leave he has a self appointed legal moat surrounding him . First it was Eric Holder now Loretta lynch. He must be physically removed from office like Sadam And Brought to Justice by force.
This is still America, stick up for your rights
NRA and right wing want to arm everyone. That will fix any gun control problem we have. Registration of guns by law abiding citizens shouldn’t be a problem, unless you have something to hide. Paranoid much?
Not really ! let’s not get all bent out of shape ! people will just ignore it and not register !
Agreed.
Let’s replace guns with jokes that really kill.
He’s not getting our guns, he’s more likely to relieve a bullet being dislodged from one of them.
Try it Oscummer. You will bring on the wrath of the American People
