Bloomberg to Fund Anti-Gun Campaign
Written by Sam on April 18th, 2007Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a coalition of 214 mayors are using the Virginia Tech massacre to pressure Congress to give local cops the information they need to trace illegal guns used in crimes.
CBS 2 has also learned that they’re also launching a TV ad campaign starting Sunday.
“We’re fighting criminals and illegal guns. Why is Congress fighting us?” Bloomberg said Wednesday.
The ads will start running in four days in New York, Washington and the congressional districts of key gun advocates.
I am trying to understand the concept of an “illegal” gun. The Second Amendment is pretty cut and dry. Additionally, why he is using Virginia Tech to fuel this crusade is also in question being that there was no use of “illegal” guns in this massacre.

I came across this real time poll website called BuzzDash.com and they currently have the subject, and are asking: “Does Virginia Tech massacre make you want stricter gun control laws?”
As of 4:22.48.27PM-PDT today, a “up to the second BuzzDash.com sampling of over 300 online users polled said – NO!”
303 votes since 4/17
Yes, current laws are too lax– 46%
No, protection is our right – 54%
This site BuzzDash says it’s “a community-driven website that provides a real-time dashboard showing continuously updated snapshots of popular opinion. With it, people can gauge the pulse of the nation on the Virginia Tech tragedy and whether it should affect current gun control laws.”
Well, I say make our opinion known!
