Bloomberg Downplays His Anti-Gun Stance: 'We Don't Want to End the Second Amendment'

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg downplayed his recent political activity tied to firearms, dismissing accusations of promoting “gun control.”

Bloomberg anti-gun groups efforts include a collation of city mayors called “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” and an advocacy group that runs anti-gun political ads named “Every town for Gun Safety.” Bloomberg also announced in April that he will spend another $50 million in a push for stricter gun control laws, which notably is two-and-a-half times the amount spent by the National Rifle Association annually on political activities.
