Daily Kos:Michael Bloomberg, Guns and Roaring Women

Micheal R. Bloomberg is my hero, know why? Because he knows money talks and is going to spend $50 million this year roaring real loud to the N.R.A. He is going to out spend the N.R.A by 30 million dollars. In recent years, the N.R.A. has spent only $20 million annually on political activities. The political groups affiliated with the billionaire Koch brothers, who are seeking to help Republicans take over the Senate, have spent about $30 million in the last six months.

Michael R. Bloomberg, making his first major political investment since leaving office, plans to spend $50 million this year building a nationwide grass-roots network to motivate voters who feel strongly about curbing gun violence, an organization he hopes can eventually out-muscle the National Rifle Association, and it can be done if we elect people with a spine into office. We need to elect people into office that will ROAR against the N.R.A and their terrorist tactics.

Assuming they even have teeth, that is.

Great news for addressing the gun violence epidemic in this nation, and for placing public safety ahead of right-wing gun lobby profits.
