@MikeBloomberg: The NRA paved the road to Washington for Bernie Sanders.



Mike Bloomberg
@MikeBloomberg

The NRA paved the road to Washington for Bernie Sanders.

He spent the next three decades making sure they got a return on their investment.

We deserve a president who is not beholden to the gun lobby.

3. RKBA and guns are a LOT less popular on DU

and in the big cities than they are in lots of the rest of the country.

Bloomberg's strident anti-gun stands will *not* be much help in a lot of swing states. Sure in CA, IL or NY gun control is a winning issue, , but lots of Democrats are nowhere nearly as pro gun control as the general consensus of this board or the big cities.

How about Pat Toomey over Katie McGinty? How about George W. Bush over John Kerry. Bloomberg did to all of the above. Should I keep going?
