The ten worst anti-gun activists of 2014, according to gun rights group :: 12/31/2014
Michael Bloomberg wins the top spot in this list of top ten “anti-gunners” from the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA.)
The group singles out Bloomberg for dropping $50 million on an anti-gun lobbying organization, Everytown for Gun Safety, as well as backing gun control initiatives in Washington and Nevada.
Other notables on the list include Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Gates, Eric Holder, and Rahm Emanuel, whom the group dubs “vehemently anti-gun.”
CCRKBA also gives out some “dishonorable mentions.” One of these goes to Piers Morgan, while another honors former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who has suggested we rewrite the Second Amendment. They’re joined on the secondary list by state politicians who backed gun control laws, including Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
The group calls Washington State’s recently-enacted gun control measure demanding universal background checks “one of the most insidious political campaigns in the United States,” and slams several of the people on their list for helping it succeed on the ballot in November.
CCRKBA is a non-profit focused on gun rights, and has over 650,000 members according to its website.
The full list from CCRKBA:
- Paul Allen – The billionaire co-founder of Microsoft and principle owner of the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trailblazers, he dumped a half-million dollars into the I-594 gun control campaign in Washington State.
- Steve Ballmer – Another Microsoft alumni and owner of the L.A. Clippers who added more than $1 million to the I-594 effort to criminalize perfectly legal activities in the Evergreen State.
- Hillary Clinton – The former First Lady and Secretary of State suggested earlier this year that gun owners “terrorize” people by vigorously defending the Second Amendment. She also supported the unratified UN Arms Trade Treaty.
- Andrew Cuomo – The New York governor who championed that state’s Draconian SAFE (for Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement) Act, which is responsible for job losses in addition to penalizing every gun owner in the state.
- Rahm Emanuel – The vehemently anti-gun mayor of Chicago whose administration has stubbornly resisted adoption of rational gun policies that would allow citizens to defend themselves against out-of-control violence in the Windy City.
- Bill Gates – This billionaire Microsoft co-founder and his wife contributed more than $1 million to the I-594 gun control effort, thus helping to pay for one of the most insidious political campaigns in the United States.
- Nick Hanauer – Another elitist Seattle-area billionaire who launched the I-594 gun control campaign and poured more than $1 million into the effort. His deplorable effort to exploit the Pilchuck High School tragedy by sarcastically suggesting that, “We need more school shootings” was an offensive new low in anti-gun politics.
- Eric Holder – The outgoing U.S. attorney general fought to stall release of thousands of documents related to the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, final losing his battle in federal court this past fall.
- Shannon Watts – As founder of the Bloomberg-supported Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Watts has spread disinformation about gun crime and campaigned against laws that bolster personal protection outside the home.
