BELLEVUE, WA – Following revelations that billionaire gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg was “part of the circle of powerful men” that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell “traveled in,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is demanding that Everytown for Gun Safety take no more money from him pending full disclosure of the relationship.
A revealing report at The Reload, based on an analysis of newly released Epstein files, shows Bloomberg’s name is “mentioned repeatedly.” As reported by editor Stephen Gutowski, “While most mentions of his name are references to his news company’s reporting or other non-personal contexts, many of the emails that discuss him reveal a more personal connection to both Epstein and…Maxwell.”
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said Bloomberg, the former New York mayor who co-founded Everytown and has contributed millions of dollars to gun prohibition efforts, must tell all. He noted The Reload’s acknowledgement that “emails (in the released files) don’t reveal evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Bloomberg or confirm how often he actually attended events with Epstein or Maxwell.”

“Here’s a man who has spent millions of dollars supporting efforts to erode Second Amendment rights,” Gottlieb observed. “He needs to be completely transparent regarding his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, and in the meantime, Everytown should not take a penny from him, even though he is one of the group’s founders.
“It is alarming to learn Bloomberg’s name shows up at all in the released files,” he continued, “and that’s enough to warrant an explanation from Bloomberg. If there’s nothing to hide, Bloomberg shouldn’t be worried about clearing the air. The time to do that is right now. After all, he has advocated for so-called ‘expanded background checks’ on gun buyers for years. Maybe he’s the one who should face a thorough background check.
“Stephen Gutowski has done a remarkable bit of investigative journalism,” Gottlieb added, “justifiably raising questions which deserve answers. You can be certain that if the names of prominent gun rights advocates showed up in Epstein’s files, the legacy media would be all over that story. Come clean, Mr. Bloomberg.”

Dacain is in the epstein files.
Jeffrey Epstein was just a puppet!
WHO are the Puppet Masters?
It was announced this morning that over 50 pages have gone missing from the Epstein files in regards to a 13 year old girl who testified to the FBI that she was sexually assaulted by Trump.
As far as enhanced background checks which has already been law for machine guns under the NFA since 1934 is a very good idea because few people have slipped through the cracks when applying for the purchase of a machine gun. Too many people have slipped through the cracks under the present background check system when buying non NFA classed weapons. All gun purchases including all secondhand guns should fall under this system.
Anyone who is not a criminal should not oppose this. The fanatics of the far right will scream registration, but so what. The Government has never needed registration if it would choose to ban a certain class of weapons because such weapons would be too much of a liability to keep as one could not sell their weapon, shoot their weapon, transport their weapon or use it in a self-defense situation. In short it would become totally useless to them.
dacian, your words have moved me and I am not a man who is easily moved! This far right fanatic sees the light on universal background checks. I do disagree about registration, though. Otherwise universal background checks won’t have teeth.
I have been advocating for enhanced and expanded background checks for ~15 years on this blog and not made much progress. Maybe taunting them as rabid right-wing goons is the missing ingredient?
Would an unstable person, who made these following hateful statements pass “enhanced background checks”?
Yes ( ) No (X)

“the Celts forever remained a group of ignorant Hillbillies” -dacian
“And yes the Romans were superior to the Dacians” -dacian
“As far as my post being racist. Yes and no,.” -dacian
“… The Celts were the Hillbillies compared to the much more educated Romans. Again the Celts could not even read or write because they had no written language. And the churches you mention was just a bunch of deflection and historical inaccuracy because all of that came far later in History. It did not occur during the events and time period I described. And I might add it was not the Celts who built the churches you spoke of but by a mix of races that included Irish, Anglo Saxons, and Nordic tribes i,.e. the Vikings who converted to Christianity. The invasions and mixings of races in Britain is long and very complex. You seem to try and simply the later mix of both cultural and religious history later in time to try and exonerate the Celts history which has nothing to do with the time period I was describing.” -dacian
“You sidestepped my original Post and that was the Celts had no written language, built no monuments or magnificent churches or governmental buildings, made no progress in medicine, or science, or math, produced no sculptures or paintings, or art, just to name a few. Compared to Rome they were indeed a tribe of uneducated of Hillbillies. And they were constantly at war with each other that is why they were so easily conquered by the Romans who had the better weapons, tactics, and training and organization. Roman soldiers even had social security funds to retire on while the Celts simply regarded a soldier to old to fight as of no longer any value.” -dacian

‘If you owned a “secret device” called a TV set you would have seen a special on MSNBC that went way back to pre-Colonial America and revealed “gun laws” that were on the books back then and also traced gun laws all the way up to modern times. This is where I got the information about a law in one of our big cities that banned the keeping of loaded guns in the home because of all the child deaths. Now of course you being from the Far Right will scream “I do not believe any historical facts because they do not jive with my preconceived notions on how life was like in Pre-Colonial America”.’ -dacian

“50. Avoided Scandal
Became the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to serve two terms with no serious personal or political scandal.” -dacian
“…The Second Amendment was not ratified until 1791. I suggest you read Carol Anderson’s book “The Second” which proves that 2A was written because of a fear of a slave revolt in the U.S. because Haitian Slave owners were fleeing Haiti and bringing some of the Slaves with them to the U.S.” -dacian
“And no he did not receive the Congressional medal of honor but he should have.” -dacian
On that last point, dacian thinks that Capital PO Lt Michael Byrd, a non-military member should receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for shooting the unarmed well decorated AF veteran Ashli Babbit in the face while she was climbing through a widow. dacian did NOT understand that for this criminal shooting Byrd was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for civilians by the fake POTUS (genuine POS), and the Congressional Medal Honor is only awarded to military members.
Kane, how many times do I have to give you a History Lesson. The unrest in Haiti happened over a number of years and each time that there was violence it got worse. This all started way before 2A was written. I am not going into all that I posted on this before because you ignored it all with the simple wave of the hand.
Oddly the debates at ratification do not include anything about Haiti. They do mention the Crowns abuses and how armed citizens serve as a check on government among several other topics.
You do know there is a verified written record of the debates?
Your J6 fantasy is intriguing. Uneducated, but intriguing.
And Byrd did what he had to do to stop the overthrow of the U,S. Government and the establishment of a Right Wing Dicatorship.
Yeah, not even I believe that. J6 was a disaster. J6 was a national embarrassment. J6 was the fruit of two months of wall-eyed, stiff-necked, frothing at the mouth frenzy from Donald Trump and his minions. Of all the people trespassing in the Capitol, why would shooting that one woman be the thing needed to stop the overthrow of the government and establishing a right-wing dictatorship? Why Ashli Babbit and not the shirtless shaman guy with the fur hat or that guy who looted the lectern?
As bad as January 6 was, the political theatre built around it has been gob-smackingly bold. But shucks, what can an uneducated feller like me know?
And your bad mouthing higher education??? One of the first things that students are taught is that prejudice, bigotry, and racism, and xenophobia are morally wrong, something many of them did not obviously learn in their warped Right Wing Christian Hypocrite Churches. Students are also taught how to think critically.” -dacian
“Jethro you are a star “poster boy” in regards on how our educational system has failed kids like you. Those like you who do not go on to college never learn how to think critically and fall easy prey to….” -dacian

Hey dacian, why don’t you regale us all in stories from your long-lost youth right into your dwindling remaining years on how you stood up to LEO’s? I always was respectful of LEO’s, but I did not have the reckless righteousness of some accomplished lefty like you. Do tell how you in “the 60’s we had a better word for them and it was ‘The Pigs’” and what you said where and when? You were probably at riots in Chicago where the democratic mayor dispatched the CPD on the youth and I bet you were saying “Pig” to every LEO, right? You were probably at the stonewall riots with your closest chums yelling “Pig” to every LEO, right?
Did you ever stop calling LEO’s “Pigs” in public?
Once again Kane (the Historical Metal Midget) proves that you know absolutely nothing about American History. Only in the last month a Historical Special on the Chicago Riots during the Convention was shown on Cable TV. In reality it was the Mayor of Chicago that provoked a peaceful demonstration deliberately to turn into a riot so his Stormtroopers could beat people in the streets. It was condemned widely by the leading Politicians of the day. What he did backfired and strengthened the anti-war movement in the U.S. wanting an end to the obscene, immoral, and unjust Vietnam War. It only got worse when finally the Mai Lai Massacre was revealed to the American Public and what was even more horrifying it was proven to be Military strategy and policy in fighting the war. It was really nothing new as it was the same tactics the U,S, Military used when they practiced genocide on the American Indian Tribes.
Once again Kane you failed.
I note that you frequently cite tv specials as reasons why we should know better about history.
Books tend to be more reliable. Maybe you should read books, dacian. Not just that one you love by Carol Alt.
How did a Communist Progressive Criminal like you get in the forum, TRUMP Derangement Syndrome, gun owner hater!
My God I hope all like you burn in hell!
What are the “enhanced background checks” under the NFA and how do they differ from background checks for regular firearm purchases?
Sir, you are seriously in error. You foolishly trust the government. Thant fact negates your feeble effort to feign reason. Please wake up! j
