Michael Bloomberg Has the President’s Ear on Gun Reform

The Atlantic Wire – by Conner Simpson

Behind the scenes, Vice President Joe Biden has been working diligently to come up with recommendations for gun reform by later this week, and in a move that will make many gun-control advocates happy, he’s been listening to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The Washington Post reports White House aides have been in “regular contact” with Bloomberg aides since President Obama put Biden in charge of a task force to put together “real reforms right now” in the wake of the Newtown shootings. On ABC’s This Week Sunday, Senator Mitch McConnell said looming fiscal issues might push back legislative action on the working group’s proposals, but Bloomberg has been outspoken about the “right now” part since right after the Sandy Hook massacre — from TV to print andhis day job to his Mayors Against Illegal Guns group — and about the president’s role in pushing reform. Since, Bloomberg has emerged as one of the biggest faces of the gun reform movement, promoting his Demand a Plan initiative at every turn.

So, what is Biden’s package going to look like? From the details provided by the Post, it’s going to be pretty comprehensive:

A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.

And, as gun-control advocates have insisted since December, the group is thinking of suggestions the president could enact with executive action, avoiding a complicated political battle in Congress. Of course, any major reforms — like Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault-rifle ban, a House proposal on high-capacity magazines, or several other bills that have already been proposed — would have to pass through the two houses, but smaller measures, like “changes to federal mental-health programs and modernization of gun-tracking efforts by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” could be changed by the president’s pen.

For the bigger, more comprehensive stuff, the president will look for support from outside interest groups who have a stake in gun reform — like major, mass retailers — to fight the NRA head-on. In other words, Wal-Mart and their ilk. The president plans to push his reforms to them on the basis that, should they support the reforms he chooses, they’ll make more money:

For instance, this person suggested, Wal-Mart and other major gun retailers may have an incentive to support closing a loophole that allows people to bypass background checks if they purchase firearms at gun shows or through other types of private sales. That could result in more people buying guns in retail stores.

    If my government will not trust me with a SEMI-auto at Home, I sure as —-blazes will not carry a FULL-auto for THEM in some foreign land. These politicians do not want to trust US with weapons?! Then let THEM go fight the wars they cheer. Let Diane Fienstein and Michael Bloomberg carry a full pack and an M16 in Afghanistan, because I SURE WON’T !!!!!

    No hatred or anything, but why is it mostly Jews who are determined to render us Goyim (they call us “cattle”) defenseless?
    We have: Bloomberg, Metzenbaum, Feinstein, Boxer, Lautenberg, Levin, Lieberman, Sanders, Wexler, Nadler, Lowey, Harman, Waxman, Wasserman Schultz, Bader Ginsburg, Breyer, Schumer, Frank, on & on the list goes.
    Not too many are aware of this, but this same tribe was behind the “Russian” revolution with names like Kamenov, Sverdlov, Zinoviev, Soltz, Frenkel, Rappaport, Berman, Kagan, Yagoda (which means “the Jew” in Russian).

    Then we have Trotsky whose campaign was funded by Jacob Schiff of Kuhn Loeb bank, NY city with 40 million (real money back in 1917).
    All of this was predicated on the writings of Marx & Engels.
    This event ended up killing 8 million Russian Christians, just don’t expect to see a movie about that much larger, unembellished holocaust by Steven “Spielberg” or Roman “Polanksi” any time soon.

      You forgot to mention that Karl Marx’s father was a ‘jewish’ rabbi.

      Such is the nature of Judaism. They (mistakenly) believe that they’re destined to rule the world, and that ONLY ‘jews’ will be permitted any rights of any kind in their ‘perceived’ utopia. Any ‘goyim’ they allow to live will only do so as slaves to these Satanic maggots.

      Welcome to the New World Order.

      btw; best estimates put the number of Russians killed by the so-called ‘jews’, at around 66 million, Bolshevik Revolution included.

      • Dave says:

        I know there were closer to 50 or 60 million killed by the Bolshevik monsters (that zero school kids are taught about!).
        I recall reading the 8 million Christians number on Br Nathanael’s site.
        He tears into the Zionists in a way that only another Jew could!

        Seriously, ask any school age child if they know who Trotsky was or that Stalin killed 100 times as many people as Hitler & they will have no clue!
        This isn’t by accident, it’s by design by this perfidious tribe who dictate the holocaust guilt hustle (90% are lies) for all school curriculums.

    “……strengthen mental health checks……”

    Watch out for this one.

    Remember, according to the so-called ‘psychiatric’ profession, EVERYONE is unstable in one way or another.

    How else could they justify unleashing their toxic trash (pharmaceuticals) on an unsuspecting public?

      #1,
      The point you make has to become contagious. Our kids are driven to “unacceptable behavior”, so the guvmint authorized shrink gets to drug them. Next in line is you and I, “if” we don’t work at exposing psychiatry for the fraud that it is, and has been for a hundred + years. Would write more, but have to run, to make my psychiatrist’s appointment.

      • # 1 NWO Hatr says:

        An estimated 25% of our schoolkids are on some type of psychotropic drug these days.

        This is unconscionable.
