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.

Maybe the people need to show these idiots what the second amendment was designed to do, which is to perfect our freedoms. As I see it, shooting any one of these idiots would be justified under the 2nd amendment.

Perhaps I’m mistaken but I did not believe an executive order was a law only Congress could pass laws and if that’s the case his executive orders mean nothing to private citizens
How does Bloomberg have a fortune of his own to spend on gun control ??? Being mayor pays that kind of money ???? Or did the Obama administration give it to him??? Hey Bloomberg , what is your plan to get the guns from the criminals ??? You guys keep yapping about tighter gun control but that only applies to the people who do not commit crimes. The criminals will have their guns. You guys too scared to get their unlawful guns ??? They most likely are all out felons walking around with them but you guys don’t stop them. Instead you want to infringe upon the right of people who have guns locked away in their safes or hanging in their walls or safely stored away for no one to find them
He has no idea what is about to happen
