"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 said.

I'm not sure it works that way...

Go ahead, let him "Punish the Democrats" I hope the a-hole goes broke, but I doubt he ever would. It is sad that he is out there to help everyone become healthy and safe. He is the answer to all of the world's problems. Let's just hope he creates more pro-gun sentiment. Watch out women, he thinks you are easy.

He's cute.

One of the comments is:

When a billionaire hires a PR firm to start an organization it is the exact opposite of “grass-roots”.

​

That about sums it up. There are really NO grassroots anti-gun campaigns. The people involved in them are there because belonging and being angry/fearful fill a psychological need. Just look at them. Crazy cat lady is afraid of her own shadow. It is interesting to observe the anti and the pro-gun folks in Annapolis. The pro-gun folks are friendly, talk to each other, joke and smile and spend the day interacting with others of a like mind. The antis look angry or sour, hardly say a word, and are afraid of their own shadows. Which side fits the profile of someone you need to be afraid of?

Megalomaniac comes to mind.

MAIG failed. MDA is failing. Just how is this new pipe dream of Bloomberg's, Everytown for Gun Safety, different? Go ahead, Mikie. Keep pushing. You spend your $50 million and I and a few million others will send the NRA another $50.

 

[Uncle Duke]

What a pompous ass.

 

[Gryphon]

Let's not let the will of the people get in the way, he will just throw $50 million at the issue to persuade everyone he is more intelligent than the rest of us dopes!

He knows what the people want, even if they say otherwise. Once you see it, you'll love it.

Go ahead... let him make himself the permanent face of the anti-rights movement... couldn't think of a better fool... I mean foil for our arguments. What a Bozo (and I do apologize to Bozo).

Once I got into the firearm culture, I cancelled my Bloomberg machine subscription(not a easy feat). If enough like minded people do the same he would run out of money fast. Check the costs of those terminals.

Just heard on local TV (NBC) that Bloomberg will unveil/announce his "effort" this morning on the NBC Today Show (morning network drivel).

At least we have proof that having billions of dollars can make you mentally retarded.

And how.. I warn everyone here-- file papers on her if you even think she has taken a 'personal' interest. Better safe than sorry.


Ditto Blommberg.. no not kidding-- my gut tells me he also has some deep issues, but so far he likes to , as John Wayne might say " hire it done' .

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

The group's focus will be on field operations, something the NRA and other pro-gun groups have mastered. The focus of their outreach will be on women — mothers, in particular — who they feel can be swayed on the gun issue.

Idjut. Does he even take a split millisecond to ponder the REAL reason the NRA and pro-gun groups are so good at "field operations" and his efforts are not?

Here's a hint, Bloominyourdrawers: Self defense is a basic human right and need. Keep raising awareness, dear - more mothers might catch on.

Here's what the conversation might look like at those pearly gates:

Guards (with pitchforks): "You spent how much money trying to disarm the people?"
Bloominyourdrawers: "Billions! It was for their own good"
Guards: "Bring a few of those women that were killed as a result of his efforts out here for a little chat"
Bloominyourdrawers: (blooms in his drawers)

I hear there's a special place in hell for people like him.

Gee, Bloombat...

Self-Aggrandize much???

You are correct:

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Bloomberg is going to learn the hard way that while money can buy a lot, it cannot buy the U.S. Constitution.
