With multiple reports of nanny-state gun-banner Michael Bloomberg seriously considering a presidential run, Breitbart.com has reported that the former New York City mayor is willing to spend up to $1 billion of his personal fortune to win the White House.

CBS New York recently reported that “Bloomberg is taking a look at the 2016 presidential landscape, and putting the pieces in place for a possible presidential run.” Now Breitbart reports that sources close to Bloomberg are throwing around the $1 billion figure.

Whether Bloomberg enters the race or not, one thing is clear: Bloomberg, Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton and Democrat challenger Bernie Sanders are all gun-ban proponents who despise gun owners and the Second Amendment. The future of our right to keep and bear arms rests on this November’s election, and none of those candidates deserve the vote of any law-abiding gun owner.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest
