Reports from The New York Times indicate that billionaire gun-ban advocate and former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg might just be throwing his hat into the presidential ring.
According to the Times, Bloomberg, who spends millions of his own dollars each year to push for more restrictive gun laws throughout the nation, commissioned a poll late last year testing how he would fare against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Shortly thereafter, he met with President Barack Obama during his preparation of anti-gun executive orders, which were announced last week.
Whether or not Bloomberg decides to run for president, one thing is clear—a vote for him or Clinton (or Bernie Sanders or Martin O’Malley) is a vote that says you care little about your right to keep and bear arms.
