There’s an election tempest brewing. It’s going to be big. We must take the warning signs seriously. The time to prepare is now.
At the eye of the coming storm is Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire and avowed antigun former Mayor of New York City, who last week pledged $10 million to influence key gubernatorial races. Bloomberg is the founder of the discredited, misnamed Mayors Against Illegal Guns and established and continues to fund the also misnamed Everytown for Gun Safety as well as The Trace, which, if not misnamed, pretends to be a news organization, but acts as his propaganda service.
His candidates, all Democrats with anti-gun platforms, include Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, Nevada’s Steve Sisolak and New Mexico’s Michelle Lujan Grisham.
That big-check commitment comes on top of the $80 million Bloomberg pledged to flip the U.S. House of Representatives. That’s a substantial investment for a man who has all-but-announced he’s going to run for president in 2020 as a Democrat. He believes that his most recent investment of $5 million in attack ads through Everytown targeting 15 U.S. House of Representatives races will be his springboard.
Stacey Abrams calls for universal background checks, including those between family members.
Gretchen Whitmer wants waiting periods for firearms purchases and bans on modern sporting rifles.
Steve Sisolak also wants to ban MSRs in Nevada and institute a background check initiative the courts found to unenforceable, a decision
Bloomberg-funded Nevadans For Background Checks is appealing to Nevada’s State Supreme Court.
Michelle Lujan Grisham took part in Bloomberg-funded March for Our Lives demonstrations and released an antigun agenda, complete with calls for ban on MSRs and standard capacity magazines and funding so-called gun violence research.
It isn’t enough to tap into Bloomberg’s money. Grisham has also toured with Gabby Giffords, who fronts Americans for Responsible Solutions, a law center and a Super PAC. It appears that she’s a believer in equal opportunity in accepting funds to deny Second Amendment rights to New Mexico’s citizens.
