NYC Mayor Bloomberg slams Obama on guns: ‘We need immediate action’
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had tough words for President Barack Obama Friday following Obama's emotional call for "meaningful action" in the wake of a mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Bloomberg, a longtime gun control advocate, released a statement through Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an advocacy group he co-founded with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
"President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem," Bloomberg said.

They can take my life before I give up my gun. Thomas Jefferson once said the only time we will need the second amendment is when they try to take it away.
