Bloomberg tried to make this about gun control. It wasn't. I used to live in this district. It is one of the most Democratic districts in the country with 85% African-American voters. He just threw his money behind the candidate he knew was going to win and then said it was because of gun control. He bought himself another congressperson. So what? Was Jesse Jackson, Jr. in favor of the NRA?
