This is what happens when you vote for a democrat! It is predicable that one of the first things they do is push gun control.....Most likely because they took campaign money from Bloomberg and this is the payback for the donation. The democrats aren't fooling anybody......We all know where this order to enact gun control comes from: BLOOMBERG....
