New York City Mayor and multi-billionaire Bloomberg appeared on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, March 24, 2013 where he indicated that he may be willing to spend 10 or 15 million dollars of his fortune during the 2014 election season to defeat the NRA to achieve his goal of gun control.
That is wonderful and I love it when a billionaire is willing to spend his own money for a worthy cause. But buying elections is actually tampering with election and it is illegal.
As for guns, I never owned any gun and I never shot anybody or anything, except with my Canon-T1i and I love the 3.5 shots per second feature on the camera because that would make sure at least I got one or two good shots. May be that is why gun owners like automatic guns. Folks living in cities may not need guns but people living in places where it may take 30 minutes for "the authorities" to respond when an armed robber is kicking in the front door, there is no doubt in my mind that the NRA is just and right.
Mr. Mayor, you can spend your extra billions to help the homeless buy homes, feed the poor or send poor high school graduates to college and a lot of other worthy causes. Respect your fellow-Americans and respect our founding fathers and our cherished founding documents. Only Americans are fortunate enough to have guaranteed rights. Please don't be blinded by arrogance of political power and excessive wealth.
