GOA: Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety is pledging $25 million to fight the passage of National Reciprocity for concealed carry and to defeat pro-Second Amendment members of Congress in 2018.
Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC-8) introduced National Reciprocity on January 3, which was day one of the 115th Congress. A companion bill was introduced in the Senate in March by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). Both pieces of legislation would treat concealed carry permits like a driver’s license, making a permit from one state good in every state.
According to Politico, Everytown president John Feinblatt said:
This is a line in the sand on this issue, there’s no question about it. The NRA wants to normalize carrying guns in public. It’s not where the American public is. We’re putting people on notice today that we’re watching … and that we expect to hold people accountable.
Everytown points to the defeat of Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) in an attempt to prove they can defeat Senators who support National Reciprocity. In doing this, they fail to highlight Ayotte’s pro-gun control votes and the fact that those votes placed a divide between Ayotte and Second Amendment supporters.
Essentially, Ayotte lost support by giving into gun control groups and supporting more laws after the Orlando Pulse attack. Yet Everytown is remaining silents about the gun control votes in an attempt to make it appear that they caused Ayotte to lose for being too pro-gun.
Another facet to this story which cannot be ignored is that Everytown’s opposition to National Reciprocity demonstrates the reality that gun control is no longer focused on “illegal guns,” like Bloomberg’s flagship Mayors Against Illegal Guns claimed to be. more here
SNIP: Speaking of Mayors Against Illegal Guns—
Somebody should do a parody of this treasonous Bloomberg disarmament campaign, aimed at Israel, and credit Bloomberg for the inspiration at every opportunity.
Call it the Disarming Israel Extravaganza, or whatever.
I’m sure the muslims would be all for it.
When Bloomberg complains, we’ll call him an islamophobe.
What’s 25 mil buy him? One commercial for a month late night on the Travel Network?
Have at it you treasonous bone smoking commie. Every time he sticks his schnoz into other states gun issues he infuriates patriotic, God fearing, America loving voters. Time to take away weapons from those in the 1% who do not want you or I to be able to defend ourselves. Maybe this cocksucker should take in a few muslims? He claims to be for the little guy but I don’t see any illegals or gang bangers inside his gated community.
nothing I like better than to see d’Rat idiots waste a pile of cash tilting at windmills
Give me the money.
I can put it to better use.
I have the yellow one in .40 and the red one in 9.
At every opportunity, people should ask this azz wipe who “we” is. Does he prefer to hang for treason or would a firing squad be better, The state could make a lot of money at $5.00 a chance to be on that firing squad.
“I do think there’s certain times WE should infringe on YOUR freedom”
This ass hole thinks he’s part of the Oligarchy. Which is while you’ll never get our guns midget fuktard.
Gee, I thought the “progressives” hated all the big money in politics?
He can blow $25 billion. He’ll only ever be seeing the business end of my guns.
Couldn’t he be feeding the homeless?
Why only 25 million, Bloomberg? To that same wit, why do these libtards only raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour?
Let’s see you go for broke, buddy. Let’s see 500 million.
Don’t the children deserve 500 million dollars Bloomberg? Stingy bastard who flies his own helicopters around just like trump but Trump is the greedy one?
And fuck Gabby Giffords too – big braindead hypocrite (before she gt shot).
The dwarf surrounds himself with armed bodyguards.
OUR gun rights and his right to speak stupid ideas freely are made possible by our veterans. How much does this dwarf power freak donate toward their benefit?
He’s perplexed, trying to figure which end the milk comes out of. (photo)
God made men, but Glock made them equal.
“Every time our country stands in the path of danger, an instinct seems to summon her finest first– those who truly understand her. When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it’s always the patriots who first hear the call. When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now, the siren sounds first in hearts of freedom’s vanguard.” ~Charlton Heston

When is the rest of NYState gonna get rid of
that communist piece of shit?
Remember, eventually this prick will die and face his eternal damnation. He had the audacity to state that he would waltz into Heaven for his progressive policy support. What a moron! What a pathetic evil little bastard.
typical Leftist. Bloomieberg’s entire gun control schtick is pure AstroTurf. Nothing about it is grassroots.
Skip negotiating reciprocity and go straight to nationwide Constitutional carry. Return to the 2A as your license – as it was intended.
Then compromise down to reciprocity if you have to.
Every gun law there is, is a compromise already.
Ask Vermont. #1 state for gun freedom.
All rich liberals have armed body guards.
That’s the best part, I can’t afford armed guards so I carry. The rich guy doesn’t like
me to be armed. Hay rich guy fuck you.
So Bloomberg thinks he’s gonna waltz into heaven because he’s a liberal? I see. Looks like God musta got that abortion thingy all wrong then. Hmmm…..
(liberals: I’m being sarcastic, OK?)
