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.

Russ. Hamilton. What just are you trying to say ?
He is just doing what he is ordered to do, that’s why his Un-American self was selected to bring down The U.S………because he hates us, and the country! !! We’re all gonna Die!!!!!
I heard Bloomberg wouldn’t show up because Obama had a 20 ounce Cup of Coke in his office.
A fuse is about to be lite! Obama will be known as the the only president that failed a nation.
I hope the authorities are monitoring this group “Truth And Action”. Sedition is a federal crime.
You gun nuts have too be stopped somehow, Congress is funded by the NRA so there bought and paid for,80 prople aday die from gun violence in the United States and you idiots thing that’s acceptable.

He ain’t going to get it done
What happed to the Brady bill ?
It’s amazing that Obama wants the registration for guns and to know where Americans are but where are the over 1 million illegals in this United States. Why don’t we spend more time looking for them so we won’t need tighter gun control laws. Well I admit 99.8% of them are probably very nice people there are the others that make us need guns to protect ourselves. Unfortunately this is the way it is now. If we would defend our country against Isis and other radicals maybe not as many people would need guns.
