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.

Should be a short war. Guns on only one side won’t end well for the gun banners.
^ this guy, and the one up a few posting from occupy democrats…perfect example of bigotry, ignorance, and hatred.
These Rights are given to us by God, not the Government. This will not stand
Obama is a Traitor. He hates America. His actions prove it, his words are b******t spin.
I farted
have’nt even closed the gate yet
Obama can’t write law. Hmmm. Obama care mean anything to you fool’s. Gives guns to rebels and Isil or IsIs and tells the Americans we don’t need them. Last time I checked you have a waiting period for buying guns already for background checks. Why more laws instead of enforcing laws we have now? It it because the government is the biggest crooks in the land and they don’t want to go to jail for their actions? Power monger wants a party. About time to give him one. United we stand, obamafied we fall…
Carol Epps I am not obviously very very young. That is an assumption on your part. I am almost 40. You say Obama created ISIS. That is not exactly the case. We hoped create rebels to fight against Syria. They in turn became ISIS or ISIL. You want to play that game the USA also “created” al queda. We have backed and funded many rebellions that have turned and stabbed us in the back. Again you and all these blowhards have not intention of revolting. You simply are to comfortable and pacified by your TV and web surfing. Alex Jones sure breed some funny followers though. Thank you.
Hoped should have been helped
Wait a minute Carol Epps is unemployed and went to community college even though her GPA was 3.99. And she love younger Asian boys… I’m very interested in her thoughts now. Lol
