So did you hear the one about the obnoxious billionaire?
Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg didn’t learn his lesson after losing $350,000 in Colorado. He didn’t learn his lesson when his “Mommies” went no where. He didn’t learn when his Mayors Against Illegal Guns turned out to be Illegal Mayors Against Guns. And now Nanny Mike is rolling out his next failure: Everytown For Gun Safety.
Yup… That’s really what he’s calling it. If there’s a cute acronym hiding there someplace, you probably need to be severely dyslexic to spot it. But then again, that’s true of all of his anti-gun groups. They all sport acronyms that look like they were written by a monkey having a seizure on a keyboard.
Now Nanny Mike plans to blow $50 million on his latest attempt to buy the US Constitution. He says that his latest group with an odd name is going to challenge the NRA. Nanny Mike, referred to as “delusional” by Slate’s Jamelle Bouie, is laboring under the impression that outspending the NRA will help him to get his way. He doesn’t know about the NRA’s secret weapon: You and your 5,000,000 friends.
Most Americans don’t care all that much about gun control. They may favor it should a pollster call, but they don’t do anything about it. Gun owners, and NRA Members in particular, are another matter. People like you are passionate about the issue; far more so than Bloomie’s Moms. You turn out to vote for pro-gun candidates. You donate time as well as money to the cause. When your Party tries to sneak an anti-gun candidate past you, you call them on it and refuse to support them. You write letters to the editor, you call your Congressman, you email, you tweet, and you blog to show your support for our 2nd Amendment freedoms.
You are worth far more than Nanny Mike’s billions.
