By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Bloomberg made it official. Gun control godfather, financier of several anti-gun groups, is throwing his billions in to buy his way to the White House and forcing his radical anti-gun agenda on America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might have been the worst-kept secret in the history of presidential runs. The former New York city mayor has played an on-and-off again tease with his presidential ambitions. In October<\/a>,<\/strong> the Nanny-in-Chief threatened a run, only to walk it back when he announced in March he wouldn\u2019t. Then, he said<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cI am clear-eyed about the difficulty of winning the Democratic nomination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that the billionaire got a set of 2020 glasses where the future appears, at least to him, much clearer. Bloomberg\u2019s vision for a gun control America is brighter, in his estimate, after he poured $2.5 million<\/strong><\/a> to flip Virginia blue for gun control through Everytown for Gun Safety, which he bankrolls, along with Moms Demand Action, Students Demand Action and March for Our Lives. Those groups are already setting their sights on the Second Amendment stronghold of Texas<\/a>,<\/strong> aiming to knock out Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Colorado\u2019s Republican Sen. Cory Gardner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this comes at a surprise. Bloomberg said in February he was prepared to spend a half billion<\/strong><\/a> dollars to wrest control of the White House from President Donald Trump. He dumped $80 million<\/a><\/strong> to bolster gun control Democrats to Congress in the 2018 midterms. Now, he\u2019s vowing off public funding, using his near endless reserves to launch a shot to be elected as nation\u2019s top Gun Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the Race<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

His announcement, though, is already being widely panned, even by those who openly embrace even the most far-reaching gun control ideas he embraces.  Democratic candidate and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) blasted the Republican-turned-Independent-turned Democrat. \u201cTelling billionaires they can come and buy elections, that does not make democracy work,\u201d she told reporters<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg got a similar chilly reception from Sen. Bernie Sander (I-Vt.) when he reacted to the announcement saying<\/a><\/strong> Bloomberg\u2019s \u201cnot going to get very far in this election.\u201d Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) panned<\/a><\/strong> his $34 million announcement media blitz, adding \u201cI just don\u2019t think people are going to buy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Obstacle Course than Race<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 77-year-old has hurdles to overcome. Aside from his less-then-warm reception by his fellow competitor candidates, he\u2019s not inspiring a strong following from those who he funnels missions of dollars to peddle his gun control message. Buzzfeed<\/a><\/strong> polled 11 Moms Demand and Students Demand Action grassroots volunteers to see if their gun control funder-in-chief earned their vote. None committed to the billionaire. \u201cI\u2019m not super psyched about it, but I respect him enormously,\u201d said Jessica Craven, 51, the legislative lead for her Moms Demand Action group in Northeast Los Angeles. The Wall Street Journal reported Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action reassured their followers they wouldn\u2019t need to pledge their votes to the guy footing their bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding to Bloomberg\u2019s obstacles are two glaring facts he can\u2019t ignore. Bloomberg\u2019s own news organization refused to investigate<\/strong><\/a> their benefactor, a signal he might not be up for the media scrutiny. To be fair, they\u2019ll extend that same courtesy to all other Democratic candidates, but not to President Donald Trump, whom Bloomberg has targeted. Former Bloomberg D.C. bureau chief editor Megan Murphy was astonished, saying \u201cThis is not journalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg\u2019s also facing a dearth of public support. In the five national primary polls tracking the candidates, he\u2019s hovering around 2 percent<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> That might explain why he\u2019s skipping<\/a><\/strong> the early state tests of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and the debate stages<\/strong><\/a> where Americans get to hear directly on why he\u2019s running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the left-leaning Mother Jones begged<\/strong><\/a> Bloomberg to butt out. \u201cStop, please!\u201d pleaded Michael Winchester of Cedar Rapids. \u201cThis is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s something we\u2019ve been saying about Michael Bloomberg for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Keane <\/strong>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation<\/a>, the firearms industry trade association.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
