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 have no clue what a registered gun looks or feels like lol
The more I learn, the more desperate I become to reign them in!
Civil war would be the next major action.
He is a fool. Nothing he wants to do will curb violence.
Seriously people. If you are required to register your firearm, you are advocating a civil war? If you are obtaining your gun in a legal way and are not a felon, why is registering that big of a deal. Why would require training to use that firearm be a big deal? What it comes down to with all of this Obama hating is race. Could you be any more racist.
If you are required to register your guns then the government knows who has guns and it’s too easy for them to come and take them. That’s the problem with a national gun registry.
There is that racism that we know is the real reason behind these rants. Luang, your ignorant, hate filled remarks are ringing loud and clear.
And frankly, I believe that abortion is still legal in this country. Regardless of what you think, it is.
None of this is not going to be pretty
he’s the president of the United States…elected by a majority, in case you’ve forgotten how this thing works
There will be action taken against gun control. BOLT ACTION!
