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 guess she was a GOP then
Just a bunch of sissies
This my be the point where we find once and for all who is with the Constitution and against it, Republican and Democratic
Stupid is as stupid does
Obama is a passive aggressive undercover terrorist
Registration always leads to confiscation
I have no problem with a background check. Get to checking. This stuff about gun shows and private sales is a waste of time because it is unenforceable. You don’t have the man power to enforce current laws how will you regulate two guys meeting in a garage and making a gun sale? Totally delusional. Gun registry, not happening, unenforceable just like above.
Oh forgot on the other comment, why is Bloomburg sticking his nose in? He isn’t in charge of anything anymore which means he is totally irrelevant.
He is a moron
Obama has an agenda to screw up this country along with his Muslims friends.
Hand gun carry laws have helping to stop criminals.
