For the second time in as many months, Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety has given $1 million to the campaign for Initiative 594 in Washington state.

On August 29, Breitbart News reported that Everytown gave its first million to the one-percenters' campaign for gun control.

Breitbart News also reported that I-594 would treat all gun sales like retail sales--requiring a background check for both, thus ending private sales. It would, therefore, require the creation of a database of handgun owners (i.e., registration).

Grass roots stay at home moms in action again. Please, people of Washington state. Make nanny bloomers and moms lookin' for a little action's efforts be in vain. Vote for 591 instead.

He’s such an ahole. Bloomy, that is.... (I know, there are a lot of them out there.)

A Question:

Has Bloomie’s gazillion$ been effective at all? What success has he had?

[PATRIOT1876]

Bloomberg’s sentiments:

“DEATH TO YOU PEASANTS!
I HAVE ARMED GUARDS.”

[PATRIOT1876]

*Has Bloomie’s gazillion$ been effective at all? What success has he had?*

He is a failure at life and a failure as a human being if he wants to strip others of the right to defend themselves.

Scrooge seems like a cuddly character compared to the heartless Bloomberg.

“Let them be killed by merciless thugs and decrease the surplus population!”

Bloomberg: The despot who bans guns, soda, food then promotes the hell out of bicycling in Manhattan around speeding taxis and multi-ton trucks which not surprisingly regularly gets people killed.

There are these memorials called “ghost bikes” that people set up whenever someone is killed on a bike. They are ALL OVER the city. That is Bloombergs true legacy.

A database of gun owners ...

Tyranny is just around the corner my FRiends.

Gun control was first instituted in the United States by Democrats in the South, in order to ensure that the KKK (the social organization of the Democrat party) would not have to worry about freed slaves shooting back.

Democrats continue to push gun control for pretty much the same reason. An unarmed population is a docile one.

***requiring a background check for both, thus ending private sales.***

Now how does that work in the real world? You are in a hunting party and one member has a nice gun you like, he likes your gun. You trade or sell it to him on the spot. Who is going to take the time to go to some gun store and pay extra to make it “legal”? It IS your private property you are selling!

***It would, therefore, require the creation of a database of handgun owners (i.e., registration).***

And THIS has been the liberal wet dream since 1962!

NO LOANING OF WEAPONS. Sounds like it’s not really your property any more doesn’t it?

I can’t wait till he gets whacked by a NY criminal.

If the 2nd amendment means gun ownership is a right, how is requiring background checks and ID consistent with recent court rulings regarding voting rights? Just yesterday, courts ruled that ID is an infringement on the right to vote and is impermissible. How is it not so when dealing with guns. The radicals have also decided that healthcare is a right, yet your doctor requires photo ID when they deliver care. How is that not infringing on the new "right?"

Apparently, anything that interferes with the left's obsessive propagation of election fraud is to be stopped, while all other rights are to be subjugated to the whims of radical jurists.

Yo, Bloomie. How many armed guards do you have around you at all times? Hypocrite.

BTW, cool move getting your soda banning, trans-fat banning, smoke banning, et. al. favorite doctor into the directorship of the CDC where he says not letting sick people into the US is a bad idea.

Voting is a waste of time to most since nothing will change in most cases. Owning a gun? Well of course the govt should control every aspect of that. NOT! We should also eliminate all IQ tests prior to casing votes. Oh, wait, that’s already in place.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Registration is what they want more than anything else.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Make him spend it all, NRA!

[Sgt_Schultze]

You don't know how right you are. We are almost totally screwed now anyway. I ran across this link on another thread earlier in the week. It is a column by J Christian Adams describing the database tool (Catalist) the radical left is using to target only radicals for turnout, and leave the rest of America in the rubble they leave behind. Our side is so fractured that it looks bleak.

If the 2nd amendment means gun ownership is a right, how is requiring background checks and ID consistent with recent court rulings regarding voting rights?

The Constitution says whatever five out of nine Supreme Court Justices say it says.

Currently, five out of nine Justices say that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right. Of the five, Scalia and Kennedy will both turn 80 in 2016. Thomas will turn 70 in 2018. The next President is almost certain to get to replace at least one of these three, probably two, maybe all three.

If Hillary or any other Democrat gets to replace any one of these three, then the 2nd Amendment will be found to protect nothing and gun control will become the law of the land, just like freedom from religion, abortion, sodomy and homosexual marriage were all discovered by the Supreme Court to be constitutional rights.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
