Beat me to it.
:iagree:

From the "what it's worth department", I have one pistol for self defense, a few hundred plinking rounds and some self defense rounds, but with Bloomberg's stupidity and the happenings out in Nevada, I am going to change that. Its only going to make me build my "hobby".

Bloomberg is wrong in my opinion but at least he puts his money where his mouth is, more than I can say about Obama and crew where they put my tax money to work against me. I think that the type of thing Bloomberg does ends up rallying the forces to join the NRA and fight him. Gun sales have been declining lately and I bet this stimulates them again. Hopefully not another panic situation as ammo and reloading supplies are finally getting back to some normalcy but until I see 22lr on the shelves routinely by the brick it is still in a hysteria mode. I hope that everyone here is an NRA member and contributes to support our 2nd ammendment rights.

Then it is our challenge to recruit 50,000,000 additional NRA members. That would completely change the political calculus, more than offsetting his mere $50 million.

Guess I'm going to have to contribute a bit more to the NRA. Can we match Bloomberg's 50? I don't know, but it's worth it to me to see him lose again. Anybody want to join me? :totap:

Apparently the $50 million is already being put to use in Austin. From today's paper in Austin....

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/new- ... aws/nfbww/
gun control advocates met Wednesday at Austin City Hall to announce — and celebrate — a new national organization designed to counterbalance the influential gun lobby.

Known as Everytown for Gun Safety, the organization launched with a $50 million commitment from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg

I can't decide who I despise more Bloomie or Ted Turner.

Yeah, hmm, interesting he says, "IF" there is a God...

I find it so interesting that once you transcend mere human into the realm of mega stinking rich, you tend to spout opinions and make determinations as if you are on a higher consciousness than the rest of us poor schmucks who labor for a regular pittance paycheck and live simple lives in comparison. I really got sick of Oprah because of this.

And I can now say for certain, I despise Ted Turner even more. :mad5

It is his $$ he can do as he wishes. However his entrance into heaven is not based on his terms but on the Almighty's. As TAM reminded all if us pride is a sin too. If I were him I'd be looking for a redeemer.

I find it ironic that they (Bloomie's lackeys) want to challenge the Facebook group that beat him to the "Everytown" page to a duel over ownership of the page. Sounds like a slam-dunk to me. And besides, their side would be limited to 10 rounds… :evil2: (Or five, or three, or whatever the current "safe" quantity is!)
