News like this is just too bad. I used to kinda like Mayor Bloomberg. I mean sure he was a squish on the issues, but you sorta have to be in order to win in NYC (Rudy aside, things were a little different then with the high crime and poor economy).

But now, Bloomberg is funding a 527 that is attacking Republican candidates that support the 2nd Amendment. You know, people that are supporting the Constitution. Yep, he’s droping untold sums to punish Congressmen in tight races who are simply doing their job in defending our freedoms.

Of course, if Reps. Feeney, Chabot, and Knollenberg go down on November 4th, Bloomberg will claim credit for it. And he might be right to do so. With close races around the nation, a big $ drop in the last few days might be enough to sink ships that otherwise would have weathered the storm.

Now, I don’t go hunting every week or drive down to the range to unload into a target - I really just don’t have time right now. Hopefully, later on I will find the time to enjoy some target practice or some skeet shooting. But this isn’t just about our ability to enjoy a couple fun hobbies. This is about respecting the right of an individual to keep and bear arms as defined in our Constitution.

Democrats have long been known to drop certain lines in the Constitution and add others when they saw fit. At least Mayor Bloomberg isn’t a Republican anymore.
