Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- When the Oregon Senate passed expanded background checks on April 14 2015, it marked a change from 2013 and 2014, when the same type of legislation was taken up but defeated without even making it to the floor for a vote.

What was the difference in 2015? One huge differences was the influx of Michael Bloomberg’s money into the state, which showed itself not only in the establishment of an apparatus to help gun control candidates get elected but also in gifts to gun control senator Chuck Riley (D-Hillsboro).

Riley received considerable financial backing from Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety in order to unseat gun control opponent former senator Bruce Starr (R-Hillsboro). It was Starr who had defeated background checks when they came up in 2013 and 2014.

According to OregonLive, Bloomberg-funded Everytown began setting up “robust” field staffs in April 2014 to help gun control candidates navigate the last months of the election cycle, leading up to November. Bloomberg did this same thing in “10 other states,” but chiefly realized gains from this tactic in Oregon and Washington.

In addition to these staffs, Bloomberg-funded Everytown gave money to senator Chuck Riley, who was able to unseat senator Starr and vote “yes” for expanded background checks on April 14 2015.

September 2014 estimates reported Riley received around $22,000 from Bloomberg-funded Everytown, but when the Oregon Secretary of State released official campaign donation figures, they showed that Riley actually received $75,000 from the Bloomberg-funded group.

While it is unclear how much total money Bloomberg spent between field staffs and Everytown gifts to Riley, it is certain he had pledged up to $50 million nationwide to secure more gun control. And in Oregon this approach gave Bloomberg a senator he, Gabby Giffords, and Mark Kelly can trust [read own] to vote “yes” every time the call for more gun control on law-abiding citizens comes up.

Think about it, blumberburg is probably running one of the biggest black markets for guns in this country. I know he has cornered the market on stupidity.

Greg

Well, since blumberburg is using his money to go after us, we should pool our money to go after his azz. Fair is fair…

Big Dummy

They may have passed that stupid law in Washington but no one I know is paying any attention to it. Washington State is very conservative in all areas except Seattle ,Tacoma and Olympia. That is where the majority of the Idiot Moron Kalifornians have settled, and also has the main population centers. If we could have that geographic area drop off into Puget Sound things would improve vastly. As things stand we can only hope.

If there was a God, this miserable fascist would be dying of stage 4 cancer right now. Imagine how much better off this world would be if him and everyone who believes as him were in such a state right now!

Isn’t this the same as funding terrorism? Post a nationwide “WANTED” poster and get rid of this pompous a-hole!

I suspect that Bloomberg is an advocate for the “One World Government”. With this, he and people like him could control many aspects of everyone’s lives, including gun control. Additionally, I would include Obama on the list of people who advocate this concept.

Every single business interest that Bloomberg has even a remote stake in needs to be made known to the general public. Once that information has been provided, every American must do everything within their power to never again conduct any type of business with such entities. Perhaps after we put the squeeze on this idiots income sources, maybe he’ll eventually get the message that not everyone and everything within the USA is for sale!

Time for a RECALL of Chuck Riley, he’s a bought man, He is now the bought and paid for property of Michel Bloomberg, who’s only goal in life is to destroy all of our God given Rites, and he will spend every dime he has to do it, he has no business even being here in Oregon sticking his big nose in our business. Money is the root of all evil, and all you have to do to see it is look at these Greedy, Money Hungry People like Bloomberg they will do whatever they can to change our lives… Read more »

Oh but that could NEVER happen here in ‘merica..

Janek

Money is no object for these people. Also foreign money is being invested in American businesses and real estate. America is for sale and these billionaires are focused on modeling the last vestige of personal freedom for themselves.

Leo Smith

Bloomberg buys and sells guns daily.

DamDoc

the entire pacific coast of the lower 48 is now gone… we better stop these trolls or it will sweep across the country.. i understand bloomy is setting up infrastructure here in maine, and has done a large money dump to fight constitutional carry here which is on the docket in our legilature.. i think this is a test for them here in maine… if they stop constitutional carry, they will try to use our referendum process to screw us with “background check” gun registration…
