Obama meets Da Maya<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“As his administration prepares an executive order tightening access to guns, President Barack Obama<\/a> met Wednesday with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg<\/a>, a proponent of new gun laws who has become the chief enemy of the National Rifle Association<\/a>. Obama has met with a series of gun control advocates in recent weeks as his aides complete work on a potential order expected to expand background checks on gun sales by closing the so-called “gun show loophole.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s basically admitting gun control is a dead issue in Congress. Likewise for Harry Reid<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… “We’ve tried everything, so maybe we are to blame. Or maybe the American people are gullible to these NRA folks,” said Reid …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or maybe the public does not believe the crap Democrats are pushing.\u00a0 Even the media can’t spin their BS as evidenced by a new poll<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“A majority of Americans oppose banning assault weapons for the first time in more than 20 years of ABC News\/Washington Post polls, with the public expressing vast doubt that the authorities can prevent \u201clone wolf\u201d terrorist attacks and a substantial sense that armed citizens can help. Just 45 percent in this national survey favor an assault weapons ban, down 11 percentage points from an ABC\/Post poll in 2013 and down from a peak of 80 percent in 1994. Fifty-three percent oppose such a ban, the most on record …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t believe Obama can do much with an executive order.\u00a0 If he could he probably would have done it before.\u00a0 So why have a sit down with Bloomberg?<\/p>\n

“… Bloomberg’s group<\/a> had a mixed record in supporting candidates in the 2014 midterm elections, but the former mayor has nonetheless pledged to spend millions backing down-ballot candidates in 2016 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cash is king.<\/p>\n

This would explain Chuck Schumer’s behavior<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n
