NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his infamous "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" have struck again—this time with a conference call where he proclaimed the recent presidential elections "proved" the NRA is dying and the American people want more gun control.

Did Bloomberg miss the Black Friday sales of a week ago—where gun sales shattered the last Black Friday guns sales record by 20%?

Or did he miss Louisiana's Nov. 6 pro-gun constitutional amendment, where the citizens of that state made it absolutely clear that the 2nd Amendment is a fundamental right which is hands off to gun grabbers?

Or maybe he overlooked the fact that people responded to the Colorado Theater shooting not by calling for more gun control but by arming themselves?

The examples are legion.

But they do not matter to Bloomberg, nor do they matter to Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

All they care about are events they can exploit for their own gain: the shooting of former-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the shooting at the Milwaukee Sikh temple, or the fact that Obama won the presidential election.

Bloomberg and his cohorts joined hands with the Center for American Progress Action Fund to carry out their conference call Friday.

Their message: "Voters trust Barack Obama on guns and support gun-law reforms." The apparent intent of this messaging is to prove the NRA has lost the ability to "move the needle" in national elections.

What Bloomberg and those who support his views need to keep in mind is that the next set of elections are Congressional (2014). And the pro-gun states will use those elections to be sure Congress continues as a firewall against Bloomberg, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and all those who share their anti-2nd Amendment views.

There's a lot of verses in Proverbs about fools that describe Bloomberg....

I know I shouldn't, but I really am hoping he goes out like David Caradine.

It would be nice if everybody that heard about his nutty statement and was pissed off, would join the NRA even for a year. It would be great to see their membership double or triple as a giant FU to Bloomy.

Of one thing I am certain. Long after Bloomberg is worm food, the NRA will still exist.

This is one of those cases where I'm unconvinced that the enemy of my enemy of my friend. The NRA as an organization, and individuals speaking for it or associated with it, have been too wobbly too often for my tastes.

This one's an oldie but a goodie:

I was a long time member of the nra, but they have become something like the unions anymore a bit to self serving. When they endorsed harry reed a few years back that was the last straw for me.

This one's an oldie but a goodie:

I don't discount that there is a variety of opinions within the NRA. As I've said many times in the past, the NRA:

1) Knows how to play the political game. We've seen what "my way or the highway" gets.

2) They are the only gun rights group routinely cited as destroying political careers.

3) They are the only gun rights group routinely demonized by Bloomberg types.

4) There is no gun rights group that has done a tenth of what the NRA has to further our rights.

I am the NRA and I vote.
