Bill Gates is opening up his considerable piggy bank in Silicon Valleys fight against the National Rifle Association. The Microsoft billionaire donated $1 million to Initiative 594, which will require criminal background checks for firearm sales.
Gates joins a long line of high-profile activists in the fighting the powerful gun lobby. Michael Bloombergs plans post mayoral duties include large campaigns for gun control. Noted Facebook investor Ron Conway has made gun reform his signature political cause, championing hackathons to prevent gun violence and spearheading a venture project for innovative anti-violence technology.
For Gates, this may be a simple donation, or the start of something much larger.

Boycott and destroy Microsoft. They are against the American republic on every front. A cheap Chinese knockoff would be a more moral choice. Gates is trash.
Bill Gates is showing how liberal he is.
We already have that, except between individuals.
The honest thing to do would be to admit it.
His Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is staffed with former members of the Clinton Administration, so yeah, he is turning into a liberal.
I mean....doesn’t everyone have bodyguards?
Gates can afford to be a liberal.
Peasants like us who try to work for a living are the ones getting it in the backside.
Bitch ass punk!!!!
“Turning”????
Nope, always has been. His Dad’s the “Gates” of Preston-Gates, a noted Democratic lobbying law firm.
If he wants to go against the NRA he will have to ditch his personal armed bodyguards. All of them. If not, I REALLY HOPE someone out there is smart enough to photograph him with his BG’s and the guns they have holstered, then proceed to smear him for being a hypocrite.
I’m tired of this crap of being demonized when I have not committed one felony. Just because we are NRA doesn’t mean we are criminals. Liberals call Conversatives racists? Well, Liberals are PREJUDICE. ALL OF THEM.
BTW, anyone wanna wonder whether Bill Gates has armed security for himself?
Use Linux.
I use Debian, but Ubuntu is a good system for linux newbies.
.
- MICROSOFT pulled some software they released
- “viruses” appear to be the big problem -
- Do not tell anyone of Bill Gates will mad -

There are a lot of people out there that are asking , “Who is Bill Gates?’
Bill feels qualified to advise the other 330 million Americans on 2nd Amendment rights seeing that his success as a multi-millionaire software nerd has made him a world renown expert on the US Constitution and firearms in general.
“BTW, anyone wanna wonder whether Bill Gates has armed security for himself?”
I have a friend of mine who left the SEALs and went to work for Gates. He later rejoined the Navy and is back with the SEALs.
The security force is bigger than many police departments and more heavily armed and equipped. And they train regularly.
His big money comes from selling his mediocre operating system with every computer sold.
2nd Amendment bump for later......
Bill Gates... $1 million? That’s like me sending one penny in to some cause and then everyone claiming that I’m a big supporter of that cause.
