Bloomberg Fails in Nevada: The People Defeat his Lobby

New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg hates guns.  Simple as that.  He runs the anti-gun organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns, MAIG, and he spends a lot of his own and his City's money on campaigningagainst 2nd Amendment rights.

Recently, he sent 10 of his lobbyists to Nevada to convince the Legislature to pass an anti-gun bill that limits private party transfers.  Many of these lobbyists had New York City ".gov" email addresses when they registered in Nevada.  Imagine the hubris:  A NY mayor uses public money to campaign in another state. 

The bill was vetoed by Governor Brian Sandoval yesterday, after an overwhelming negative response by Nevadans.  The volume of calls was so large they had to set up a separate vote phone line to handle it.
