    I am watching this with my fists clenched.

    "We need to do something, It's the NRA's fault, Overhaul the background check system, close loophole problem, Dictate who can buy guns, adopt a 48 hour waiting period and red flag laws on a federal level, obtain a permit before buying a gun, reinstate a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, ban 3d Guns, Ban guns at all schools and colleges".

    He says he will get it done whether he is elected or not.

    Now its a prayer for the students that were killed. Every single story of a victim is preventable according to the speaker for Everytown.

    It kills me how these people think that all of us have zero sympathy when shootings and murders happen, its all OUR fault as well as the NRA, on and on and on and on......

    By the way, I just watched this on Fox News. I am sure there will be a link eventually.

    That man, who values no Civil Liberty (remember "Stop and Frisk"), will send this already very divided country into Civil War.

    It is so aggravating, every commercial break on local TV has a ad campaign for him. Saying how took on NRA the most powerful gun lobby in the country in Virginia and got common sense gun control such as universal background checks... What they fail to mention is " and his plan to turn most Virginia gun owners into felons and confiscate their guns.."

    Or we could lock up people that commit violent crimes.

    For God's sake man, get a grip. If you lock e'm up you'll ruin their chances of them ever finding employment due to the arrest record. Oh wait what am I thinking?
    Better to leave them in the wild and find their own path to the next life. Which will surely happen sooner than later.
    Or just pay them to be a community violence preventer or what ever.

    i do not think we should ban most things. i do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom and that is, for example, if you're drinking we shouldn't let you drive because you'll kill somebody else. if you are carrying a gun, we shouldn't let you on an airplane. there's a lot of things that we do -- if there's asbestos in the classroom we should remove the kids from classroom until you clean the air. if you want to own a gun, i certainly think it's constitutionally protected. you certainly have a right to have a gun if you want. if you want to eat a lot and get fat, you have a right to do it. but our job of government is to inform the public.

    is it really a "town hall" when all the people there are paid by the speaker??


    I mean, subtract the Moms Demanding another Paycheck, the hall would be empty

    Good point. It was called a town hall but it was a sponsored event with all of the major Everytown/MDMA players, not to mention victims families. There was evidently no space for challengers in that room. Sort of like the CNN town hall meeting after Parkland.

    He is privileged, dontcha know. Anybody that wants to spend taxpayers money and use their political pull along with their own dollars to ban large sodas is a moron. Money and power has gone to this guys head.

    people seem to forget that this little megalomaniac circumvented the term limits law for NYC mayors (2 terms) He had the Democrat led City Council amend so he could have a 3rd term (and then returned it to a 2 term limit after the election)

    When you're wealthy, it's really easy to end up surrounded by nothing but sycophants. After a few decades of that, you feel infallible because nobody around you dares tell you you're wrong. Bloomberg is probably frustrated by the fact that the general public isn't able to recognize the genius everyone around him tells him he is.

    is it really a "town hall" when all the people there are paid by the speaker??

    i posted this on another thread but I will post it here as well. Bloomberg is genius at manipulating campaign laws. he is conducting an ingenious injection of $600 million to one billion into the general election under the guise of primary , just as he has subverted the laws by injecting half a billion of charitable, tax deductible money into politics.

    There is a very interesting theory that his "candidacy " for president is just a mechanism to generally give to Democrats at much much lower cost to him, and not a genuine candidacy.

    a) His "primary" campaign "advertisements" -- now at $100 million in one single month in pure anti -turmp ads -- allow him to run 100% anti-Trump advertisements, ie of long term benefit to any and every Democrat primary candidate, at lower primary advertising rates, and with less FEC scrutiny since instead of contributions to the DNC presidential effort (which is what in fact they function as) they can be claimed to be primary campaign costs.

    Seriously look at this: https://twitter.com/KDbyProxy/status/1196155022259740673?s=20

    In fact he is organizing "events for "his primary campaign" that include having on the stage and therefore helping Democrat legislature candidates. those are effectively spends in support of state and US congress candidates he likes -- while claiming the expense is for "his campaign" not theirs -- and not going to the FEC reporting as a donation

    b) He is also not allowing his news outlets to investigate or write negatively about his primary "opponents" because he is supposedly "in the race," while he is allowing them to investigate Trump. So that is his candidacy -- and his money and assets benefit ALL Democrat hopefuls while freely attacking Trump, which is effectively a contribution of another 100 million in media value to Democrat candidates without it even being a contribution from a legal standpoint.

    Bezos can do the same thing in four years. 1) Announce he is going to run in the primaries; 2) forbid the Washington Post which he owns from investigating or negatively reporting on his Democrat supposed "opponents" while allowing Washington Post to eviscerate the Republican candidate an in kind donation of free media to the DNC worth tens or hundred of millions of dollars yet not included in FEC filings; 3) get around media pricing rules differentiating cheaper primary advertising vs more expensive general election advertising; 4) get around other FEC rules.

    You are overthinking it. He has a lot of money, a big ego, a history in politics, and has been threatening to run for a long time. He hates Warren and Sanders, has feuded with them a lot, so its not some shadow campaign to help Biden. Sorry ... he is really running. The simplest explanation is often the right one. As a billionaire, he has a first amendment right to spend his money on issue ads however he likes. He does not need to "subvert" any laws, he has a right to waste all his money.
