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.

I’ll stick to my nail guns. More productive.
The ppl are not going to be happy. Congress better get on the ball. This is unconstitutional. Do somethig u sell outs.
Pos don’t trust this guy.
Obama should remind the drug cartels that guns are illegal in Mexico instead of giving them machine guns. Ask a Mexican how gun control has worked out for mexico.
I hope the military goes after Obama first, it will be a short revolution. One shot fired.
Keep going we’ll impeach you
Still I will not give my guns or freedom without a fight. Guess we need to make sure he is taken out first
BHO was sad mistake you are about to make!!! Got to say if you take our weapons and try to shut down our amendments then we say you cannot be protected ever again you are on your own!! No protection ever for you. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander!!!!
I have an open mind about the Second Amendment and I own a firearm. It is registered with my local PD. Could someone explain to me what the big concern is with registering firearms? And I don’t need to hear the paranoid argument that it will result in all firearms being confiscated. Registering cars didn’t result in our cars being confiscated, although I’m sure some people were afraid of that…
