Bloomberg-Backed Gun Control Group To Survey Candidates Ahead Of 2014 Midterms

A gun-control group founded and backed by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is asking all House and Senate candidates in the 2014 midterm elections to complete a 10-part survey on issues related to firearms.

The Washington Post reports that the survey will ask respondents questions about their stance on issues like background checks for gun buyers, limiting magazine capacity, and passing laws restricting gun trafficking. Bloomberg's group, Everytown for Gun Safety, will then use a particular candidate's answers, as well as an analysis of past votes and public statements to either support or campaign against a candidate.

The system is meant to emulate and counter the legislative ratings system of the National Rifle Association, which assigns lawmakers a letter grade based on their support of pro-gun rights legislation.

Democrats that support gun control will be the only ones to respond to the survey. Republicans will tell him to shove it up his arse.

I'd wipe my arse with it, and mail it back.

What is it even good for? So you can get funding for a candidate, based on his extreme gun control policies... only to have him get busted for trafficking weapons, himself? Good one, Bloomberg!

If I had his survey in one hand, and the NRA survey in the other hand, I'd fill out and return the NRA survey. And I wipe right handed. Then I'd use Bloombergs "business" reply mail envelope!

All anyone needs to do is look at Chicago and they can see the fallacy of gun laws. Criminals don't follow gun laws! But that stupid, useless, dumber than shit ex-mayor only wants to disarm honest white citizens.
