In his first major political investment since leaving City Hall, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg is taking aim at one of his favorite targets — the NRA.

Bloomberg plans to spend $50 million of his vast fortune to bankroll grass-roots efforts to build a national network dedicated to passing stricter gun-control laws in America, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Bloomberg said the game plan calls for absorbing the gun control groups that he has funded — Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America — into an umbrella group known as Everytown for Gun Safety. They will focus enrollment efforts in 15 states, including such pro-gun strongholds as Texas, and seek to land a million new backers this year.

The strategy takes a long view of how to produce change on gun reform, and is designed to beat the National Rifle Association at its own game: developing the political clout needed to get lawmakers to back the group’s agenda — and to punish those who don’t.

I don't understand why this guy has such a hard on for guns - it's insane.  There's obviously more to it because people like Bloomberg don't really care about safety for the people.  If they did they'd have groups against mental illness and corruption.

Well yeah that's his intent but you'd think there'd be a better way to get control other than rounding up a bunch of fat moms and sissy husbands.

This.  We "normal" people cannot fathom the unbounded egos of either the uber-wealthy or politicians.  Combine the two and you have meglomania on an epic scale.  So we have creatures like Gore and Bloomberg who have this dangerous/evil conflict--they have utter disdain for "normal" people but they also have the need to "save" us from ourselves.

This has the potential to produce some truly evil and disastrous outcomes.

Make sure it goes to the NRA ILA. For some reason a lot of people don't know that. (Not saying you don't in particular).

Also obligatory Fuck Bloomberg.

Exactly.  A gun and the skill to use it would allow the poorest person to tell him "NO", and he absolutely can not stand it.

with 89 guns per 100 people in the Unites States how grass roots can the effort be....outside of a few big city idiots does he really think there is a ground swell of support for this....a real grass roots effort...one where people are passionate about the cause cannot be bought.....how many pro gun groups are willing to die for their cause......cold dead hands means something to gun owners

Let him spend what he will. He won't live forever.

It's pretty darn clear the majority of gun owners will not comply with registration, even in the libtard states. The Dems can pass their laws even without Bloomy's help if they win elections but they don't have the balls to go out and enforce them except as add-on charges.

50 million is chump change compared to what trial lawyers will spend to get Dems elected. Better to keep your eye on the ball of elections.

From the NY Daily News link:
“They say, ‘We don’t care. We’re going to go after you,’ ” he said of the NRA. “‘If you don’t vote with us we’re going to go after your kids and your grandkids and your great-grandkids. And we’re never going to stop.’

Yeah... that's the NRA all right, they are famous for targeting people's children.

I guess  that explains Bloomberg's passion for gun control - I think he is remembering this incident from his youth:

Maybe he will have a tucking heart attack and die. Just think of his heat packing slut goon squad that sold out their freedom for the love of money to be with him. They should fucking die along with him in one big massive heart attack.

From the NYT article.  
But if he senses that he may not have as much time left as he would like, he has little doubt about what would await him at a Judgment Day. Pointing to his work on gun safety, obesity and smoking cessation, he said with a grin: “I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.”

Bloomberg getting to spend all eternity with people just like himself?  Busybodies who feel a burning need to not only tell others how to live; but compel them to live that way?  Talk about ironic justice.
