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.

Just causing more unrest by pissing off more than 100,000,000 law abiding citizens like any good Muslim sympathizer should, taking$#%&!@*s lead, next is gun confiscation . This is just the beginning!
Executive orders may be unconstitutional, but it’s still another step down the slippery slope toward Obama’s vision for this country. He sees himself as unstoppable, untouchable and has the nerve to say that the majority of Americans agree with him on this. The scary thing is, the people who voted him in are trying to convince us that it’s “not about taking our guns away”. Well, one thing is for certain: he’s scaring alot of people, creating a climate of fear, and I’m sure that was his intention. How can we allow such a man to run roughshod over us?
Obama just walk away from the guns if you don’t no how to us them my guns are at pace the always be guns ok and killing by them ppl do this. Drugs are killing us way faster than the guns ppl killing ppl with guns is over drug’s.
Guns keep America save? Right or wrong.
Gun registration would save lives. We would be able to better track the flow of illegal weapons. Guns should be as regulated as cars.
That makes no sense, Kevin.
Would the criminals register their guns? Look at the stats.
The guns would be registered before they got into criminal hands. And then when confiscated, we could find where the criminal got the gun and stop the illegal racket.
I guess I would ask, what stats are you referring to?
Civil war lolz
