Michael Bloomberg, who founded Everytown for Gun Safety, is attacking Sen. Bernie Sanders over his past votes on 2A issues, saying the NRA ” paved the road to Washington” for Sanders.
“He spent the next three decades making sure they got a return on their investment. We deserve a president who is not beholden to the gun lobby,” Bloomberg tweeted.

Then went on to say, “We already have a president who caves to the NRA. We don’t need another one.”

“We can’t have a nominee who has voted to:
– Block the Brady Bill 5 times
– Allow guns on trains and planes
– Protect gun manufacturers from lawsuits
– Prohibit funding for research into stopping gun violence
Unlike Bernie Sanders, I will always take the fight to the gun lobby,” he concluded.
