NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre on Sunday challenged New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to spend $12 million on ads meant to pressure senators into backing strict new gun control measures, saying Bloomberg "can't buy America."
Bloomberg's pro-gun control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns is launching the campaign in states where senators may be on the fence regarding a package of firearms proposals making its way to the Senate floor. As the push for that legislation appears to falter, President Obama plans to soon tour the country to talk about the need to reduce gun violence, a senior administration official confirmed to Fox News. Bloomberg also confirmed Sunday that he plans to spend $12 million to run ads in at least 10 states, suggesting there could be a political price to pay for opposing the measures.
Making clear he intends to be a counterweight to the NRA, Bloomberg said he wants to make sure the powerful gun lobby is not "the only voice" in this debate. If he can achieve that, Bloomberg said, "then I think my money would be well spent."

He better watch what he says...he will be ousted by the PEOPLE.
Mr. Bloomberg is so smart. He tells me what to eat, what to drink, when to sleep, and all those other good things. I am still waiting when to schedule my bathroom activity though. Please hurry!
My bathroom sitting activities I now call " time in the Oval Office".
And the whole time he is speaking, he is being protected by armed guards. I believe real true Americans can see through Democratic hogwash.
Bloomberg poured millions into lobbyists in Colorado--and bought the Democrat controlled HOuse, senate and Governor. Look for him to do the same in leftist leaning states--like Maryland.
New York time to stock up all the guns you can get you will be worse off then most. Dont listen to the goverment BS time to think for yourself and if you can't do that you deserve your demise.
Mayor can i take a BLOOMDUMP.
yea, shame on him for wanting ppl to be healthy & safe...and spending his own money to do so. What have any of you done to make the world a better place...let me guess?..nothing.
Keep drinking the kool aid 9:51, I'll keep and defend my freedoms and civil rights, you stay dependent on the government to control your life.
