there is a definite line in the sand on the gun issue.
Either for LaPierre & the NRA
or for those like Bloomberg who wish to do something.
No middle ground.
It seems the choice is clear.
I personally am 100% against the NRA/ against LaPierre/ and against bullets in the streets.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who announced Saturday he will shell out $12 million in an ad campaign targeting 2014 candidates who do not support gun control legislation, "can't buy America," Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association, said today on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Bloomberg's group Mayors Against Illegal Guns - the vehicle for the ad buy - includes over 900 mayors from across the country, and was designed to counterbalance the NRA amid amplifying arguments for and against stricter gun laws. As the Senate prepares to take up gun legislation that will likely include a comprehensive background check, LaPierre said NRA backers are rushing to keep voices like Bloomberg's from pushing the debate too far to the left.

Michael Bloomberg said-
Appearing on the same program, Bloomberg said "a lot of work" remains for advocates of stricter gun laws, including the uphill battle for an assault weapons ban, which Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., dropped this week so that his gun package would have a better chance of passing. But, the mayor added: "I think we are going to win this."
"I don't think there's ever been an issue where the public has spoken so clearly where Congress hasn't eventually understood and done the right thing," Bloomberg said. "We're trying to do everything we can to press upon the senators this is what the survivors [of gun violence] want."
