Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the force behind Mayor's Against Illegal Guns and is planning on directly targeting pro-2A legislators. His billions come from his company Bloomberg LLP, which is a financial information company. The company was just written up in the NYT because reporters from the Bloomberg News division were looking at private profile information and private chats of customers. Things that should only have been seen by the Terminal Sales division.

This is a big deal. The reporters appear to have violated wiretap laws, but given Mike Bloomberg's power and influence in the Democratic party, it is highly unlikely the company will be called to account.
Please call your representatives and ask that a special prosecutor be appointed to look at the wiretapping that went on at Bloomberg News.
Also ask that they look at possible anti-trust violations as Bloomberg LLP uses its monopoly on historical bond price information (which traders need) in order to force customers to buy the news product (which comes bundled). This forced bundling is an anti-trust violation and Holder's DOJ is looking the other way instead of breaking the company into a terminal side and a news side.
