BELLEVUE, WA \u2013<\/strong> Following revelations that billionaire gun control advocate Michael Bloomberg was \u201cpart of the circle of powerful men\u201d that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell \u201ctraveled in,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A revealing report at The Reload<\/em><\/a>, based on an analysis of newly released Epstein files, shows Bloomberg\u2019s name is \u201cmentioned repeatedly.\u201d As reported by editor Stephen Gutowski, \u201cWhile most mentions of his name are references to his news company\u2019s reporting or other non-personal contexts, many of the emails that discuss him reveal a more personal connection to both Epstein and\u2026Maxwell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s<\/em> acknowledgement that \u201cemails (in the released files) don\u2019t reveal evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Bloomberg or confirm how often he actually attended events with Epstein or Maxwell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere\u2019s a man who has spent millions of dollars supporting efforts to erode Second Amendment rights,\u201d Gottlieb observed. \u201cHe 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\u2019s founders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is alarming to learn Bloomberg\u2019s name shows up at all in the released files,\u201d he continued, \u201cand that\u2019s enough to warrant an explanation from Bloomberg. If there\u2019s nothing to hide, Bloomberg shouldn\u2019t be worried about clearing the air. The time to do that is right now. After all, he has advocated for so-called \u2018expanded background checks\u2019 on gun buyers for years. Maybe he\u2019s the one who should face a thorough background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStephen Gutowski has done a remarkable bit of investigative journalism,\u201d Gottlieb added, \u201cjustifiably raising questions which deserve answers. You can be certain that if the names of prominent gun rights advocates showed up in Epstein\u2019s files, the legacy media would be all over that story. Come clean, Mr. Bloomberg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
