Sounds good until they start talking about bans again. Always nice to quote the farthest right nut-jobs out there.
I like these quotes....
Vice President Joe Biden
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colorado)
Nancy Pelosi
If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban, picking up every one of them Mr. and Mrs. America, turn em all in, I would have done it.
Sen Feinstein
How is that NY SAFE act ban working. Would you care to comment on the ad?
I see you are up to 63%, great job!

(6,622 posts)Hmm... Considering that all three major broadcast networks and two out of the three cable news channels have been airing the gun-control message relentlessly, one wonders what remains to be heard.

(16,974 posts)maybe most people already know what Bloomie wants and disagree when it comes to actually writing and voting for legislation.

(6,185 posts)The Mayors Against Illegal Guns thing worked for a while, until mayors got voted out, many arrested, others figured out they were being conned and quit. The Moms Demand Action group is just a poor carbon copy of the original Million Mom March, which actually started as grass roots then faded, and is already faltering after only a year. A social media driven group is a piss poor substitute for millions of local voters that are malevolently well educated on the issues.
So now Bloomie is re-branding both of them as his latest big idea. The idea of calling this Grass Roots is pathetic and even major networks are already questioning it. Bloomberg's personal involvement and ego makes it even worse since his own favorable and unfavorable numbers are less than half the NRA numbers outside of the NE US.
My prediction, people like Shannon Watts and her ilk will pocket a lot of money, he'll spend a shitload of it against Dems he doesn't feel are anti gun enough and gun controllers here will applaud his "courage". As a result, we'll lose the Senate and they'll blame pro 2nd people for it, like they always do. Then they'll start the whole cycle again for 2016.
Funny how suddenly a "Billionaire spending unlimited money on political campaigns" is no problem when it's been denounced in GD for the last 3 weeks? You'd almost think there was some double standard or something with some people?
