National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre said Sunday that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) is trying to “buy America” by spending millions of his personal fortune to urge key senators to vote for gun control.

“He can’t spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public,” LaPierre said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “They don’t want him in their restaurants, they don’t want him in their homes, they don’t want him telling what food to eat. They sure don’t want him telling what self-defense firearms to own. He can’t buy America.”...

Think about Bloomberg’s $12 million ad campaign, to push for laws that will have no impact on gun deaths whatsoever.

If Bloomberg really wanted to keep people from getting killed, he could convert the $12 million to PSA’s, with one simple message:

“If somebody in your family is on mind altering medication, secure your guns.”

That would actually save lives....if Bloomberg really wanted to do something ‘for the children’.
