Is NC For Sale? Bloomberg Thinks So.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Yesterday we broke the news that Michael Bloomberg and his collection of astroturf gun grabbing organizations have purchased the service of several registered North Carolina lobbyists in an attempt to bring their dangerous big-government, anti-freedom agenda to North Carolina. Despite their staggering losses (constitution carry is now the law in 16 states), they continue to burn up the out-of-state millions that Bloomberg has pledged to whittle away your freedoms, and they’re now bringing paid Bloomberg mercenaries to the table to do their legislative dirty work.
\u00a0
Worse yet, they’ve been stoking media fears by making wild (and untrue) claims about Gun Omnibus Bill H746. Some of their wildest gesticulations are around allowing law-abiding North Carolinians to carry a concealed handgun without a permit. Despite the usual fear-stoking and prognostications about blood in the streets, the evidence from the other 13 states that now allow permitless carry suggests the opposite — that empowering people to defend themselves and their families correlates to a reduction in violent crime.

As a supporter of Grass Roots North Carolina, you value transparency and accountability. You know how important it is to follow the law in letter and spirit, and you know that public officials need to be held accountable for all of their actions. Because lobbyists are bought and paid for by special interests, the law requires that they be registered. In that spirit, we’d like to introduce you to the bought-and-paid-for “Everytown”\u00a0influencers that are now working hard to further Michael Bloomberg’s agenda in North Carolina. Go ahead and contact them if you’d like to, but if you do make sure you keep the tone polite, and if you call them, only call once.\u00a0<\/em>Be a role model of polite civility, and demonstrate that law-abiding gun owners are model citizens.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Meet lobbyist Christopher McClure<\/a> (chrismcclure@brookspierce.com<\/a>, 919-882-2502) of the law firm Brooks Pierce<\/a>. Despite his long history of voting in Republican primaries (why don’t you look up his voter registration, which lists his home address as 223 Crisp St., Durham, NC), Chris now finds himself with the unenviable task of convincing lawmakers (many of whom proclaimed to be staunchly pro-second amendment) to do Michael Bloomberg’s bidding.<\/span>
\u00a0
\"\"Meet Lobbyist Elizabeth Biser<\/a> (ebiser@brookspierce.com<\/a>, 919-882-2508), also the law firm Brooks Pierce<\/a>. Her long history of voting in Democratic primaries (address withheld) is more in line with what we’d expect from a paid freedom-grabbing Bloomberg shill.<\/span>
\u00a0
\"\"Meet Brian Lewis<\/a> (brian@newframellc.com<\/a>, 919-413-2580). His company, New Frame LLC<\/a>, is on the Bloomberg take. Like Elizabeth, Brian has a long history of voting in Democratic primaries (his home address is listed in the voter rolls as 114 Southwold Dr., Cary, NC), suggesting that he, too, might be sympathetic to anti-freedom causes.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
\"\"Meet Skye David<\/a> of New Frame LLC<\/a> (skye@newframellc.com<\/a>, 812-881-0200). It’s surprising that a person who claims to advocate for victims of domestic violence would align herself with a group that seeks to empower domestic violence aggressors by disarming their victims. Skye’s voter registration is recent (address withheld), but her alignment to Bloomberg’s blood money make her politics plainly clear.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
\"\"Meet Christy Jones<\/a> (christy@newframellc.com<\/a>, 336-905-0428), the third leg of the New Frame LLC<\/a> Bloomberg anti-gun lobbying tripod (address withheld).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
