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.

Well done obama.
What theF***k y’all waiting for????????? Y’all know what to do!
Follow that logic out. That means citizens should be able to buy and use nuclear weapons. And all one has to do to justify using weapons of such destruction is claim that the government is being tyrannical. There’s already uneducated masses that have convinced themselves that Obama is a dictator.
Hes gonna take the guns and bibles blah blah blah. Obama is a Muslims blah blah blah. He is destroying america blah blah blah. Stfu you delusional$#%&!@*for brains right wing retards.
Josh Owens, if that said the muslim bible I would agree. My bible does not condone rape, murder, pedophilia, genocide, stealing, telling lies , lgbt, adultery or disrespectibg my elders. But it does cobdone me standing my ground to protect myself, my family, my beliefs and my fellow countrymen that is not a traitor. Are you a traitor or a foolish idiot? It don’t matter. Your destiny has already been planned out by our Creator. Choose your path wisely.
Divide this nation in half. The socialist liberals can have the northern states and Pacific coast states. The conservative can have the other 25 states. All liberals can move to their gun free states. The rest of will live with our guns. Once you choose cannot move to the safer nation.
Lmao how can one be so ignorant.
Get out your crying towel…and give obummer your guns…now bend over and say by, by…you are now dead American or a stupid muslim!!
Executive order won’t work and won’t be enforced. More hot air politics.
Ill say this only once, Obama you are not getting my guns or any of my rights without one hell of a fight.
