the truth if you go to arkansas it s a very pro gun culture. talk to the republicans in the districts opposed to to gun control they come from gun pro rural cultures and they will not move. they might move on a limited form of a background check but are not going to be banning weapons or ammunition clips or any of the big stuff that was initially part of the conversation. it might be bloomberg is trying to do for gun control what gay rights ab tactivists able to do last 20 years. these things don t happen overnight and i don t think gun control in than sweeping way is going to happen. i agree with you completely. i think to some extent bloomberg is doing and for him this is pocket change. $12 million is something he can spend very easily. but this is very different than what he did in the hallvorson race in chicago. a huge role in the outcome there. these are congressional votes.
