Sooner this dude takes a dirt nap the better we'll all be for it. Pass any further infringements and we likely will not allow them to stand.
Think Nevada on a much, much larger scale.

Michael Bloomberg Is Starting A Gun Control Organization To Take On The NRA
Former New York City mayor and very, very rich man Michael Bloomberg plans to take on the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment advocates by forming and financing a new organization focused on gun control. He's pledged at least $50 million to the effort.
The strategy will focus not on sweeping federal restrictions to ban certain weapons, but instead will seek to expand the background check system for gun buyers both at the state and national levels.
Bloomberg told the Times that this new group will try to use the NRAs own tactics against them, penalizing lawmakers whose stances on gun rights differ from the organizations. Weve got to make them afraid of us, is how he put it.
The former mayor also said that the effort will deviate from the standard playbook for gun control advocates, throwing less money into television campaigns and more money into field operations to drive single-issue voters, focusing primarily on female voters. The group will initially focus on 15 states, including Colorado, Washington, Texas, Montana, and Indiana.
