WASHINGTON – A gun-rights leader Sunday blasted Mayor Bloomberg for
planning to spend $25 million in next year’s elections to boost gun
control, saying Americans reject his “arrogance of power.”
“I’m not sure the amount of money that billionaire Bloomberg has is
going to be effective,” Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of
America, said on “Fox News Sunday.”
He predicted a repeat of this year’s recall election in Colorado,
where Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns spent $350,000 backing two
gun-control lawmakers who still got booted from office.
“He outspent the candidates that won in Colorado enormously and he
lost,” said Pratt. “So I think the message is, ‘We don’t like the
arrogance of power. We don’t like the message that we ought to be
disarmed as a way of fighting crime.”
“Mayor Bloomberg’s message is wrong and he’s going to continue to lose,” said Pratt.
