Failed Obama gun law was supposed to get rid of vulnerable GOP House seats in 2014, Axelrod hopes billionaire Bloomberg will help flip House seats to democrats in 2014

4/18/13, "Obama Flashes Anger After Senate Democrats Let His Anti-Gun Bill Fail," Rush Limbaugh transcript

(near end of pg.), "Reading from the article in The Politico: "Axelrod is looking for gun-control advocates like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to stick with the cause and seek retribution through the mid-term elections. 'A bunch of suburban, swing district Republicans in House are probably deeply relieved that Senate appears poised to kill background checks,' he tweets."  That's Axelrod.  In other words, Axelrod is revealing that this issue is all about defeating House Republicans and nothing else.  It wasn't about the children.  It wasn't about the parents.  "Mr. Limbaugh, that is just outrageous.  I can't believe that you would dare say that."

This is not about the children.  It was made to look like it, but it was about Obama's agenda.  It's not me telling you. It's the news media....


See, they want you to think that the forces that defeated this think they need guns to hold back the helicopters of the federal government. The federal government's coming for everybody, and that's why we can't give up our guns, a bunch of conspiracy kooks, weirdos, tinfoil hat people.  What you need to know, low-information people, we've already got so many gun laws.  There are already so many restrictions.  In fact, the states with the most restrictive gun laws have the highest crime rates with guns. 

New York, Washington, two of the hardest places in the world to get a gun, and they are ravaged by gun crime.  We've got more gun law than you can imagine, and we don't enforce existing law to make it look like we don't have enough laws so that we can get more.  Everything is political.  Everything with the Democrat Party, everything is political, disguised as compassion."

4/17/13, "Axe wants retribution on guns in 2014," Politico, Donovan Slack

"Former Obama adviser David Axelrod is already looking beyond today's gun vote. With an amendment to expand background checks for gun buyers poised to be filibustered by Republicans, Axelrod is looking for gun-control advocates like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to stick with the cause and seek retribution through the mid-term elections. 

"A bunch of suburban, swing district Republicans in House are probably deeply relieved that Senate appears poised to kill background checks," he tweets. "Interested to see if Bloomberg and others who've worked hard on this issue remain active in 2014 elections, holding no votes accountable.""...
