Nanny Bloomberg Takes Aim at Gun Control, Misses By a Long Shot

Jon Alternative Media, Blogosphere, Government, Politics

Earlier this year, former New York Nanny Mayor Michael Bloomberg started a gun control group called Everytown for Gun Safety.
The group is making significant political investments in the midterms. They’ve announced endorsements in more than 100 federal and state elections, and have produced two television commercials that will run in Illinois and Oregon.
From USA Today:
Everytown for Gun Safety’s endorsements and the new ads in Illinois and Oregon are part of an effort by Bloomberg to make curbing gun violence a pivotal issue in midterm elections that will determine which political party controls the Senate and the agenda on Capitol Hill. Republicans need to net six seats to win the majority in November.
The campaign includes what supporters call a ‘Gun Sense Voter’ road show with stops in Oregon, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine, Maryland and Connecticut over the next three weeks. The tour, led by Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, also will visit Seattle where Everytown is pushing a state initiative that would expand background checks for firearms purchased online and at gun shows.
