Subscribe to RSSNew York Mayor Michael Bloomberg made a personal six-figure contribution to Americans for Responsible Solutions, the political action committee run by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband Mark Kelly, a source close to the mayor tells NBC News.
As First Read reported earlier, Americans for Responsible Solutions will spend six figures to air a new ad beginning this week. The ad will air in DC and in cities represented by congressional leaders: San Francisco (Nancy Pelosi), Cincinnati (John Boehner), Louisville (Mitch McConnell), and Las Vegas (Harry Reid).
Bloomberg has his own group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, that's pressing Congress to take steps to reduce gun violence. Bloomberg's own Independence PAC has spent nearly $1 million on ads attacking former Democratic Rep. Debbie Halvorson for her "A" rating from the National Rifle Association.
Halvorson is locked in a Democratic primary for former Rep. Jesse Jackson's seat in Illinois.

NBC could you please bring back the time stamp on your articles.

I see 6 hours ago. What do you see?
Why does this not surprise me. His gun ban is not working in any area of New York other than Manhattan. He is a typical Liberal hypocrite who only cares for his rich friends and claims he cares for the rest of us.
Ah, the Devil in the details ... so darling, how was the wedding? You are moon over honey.
Mayor Bloomberg had to deal with gun violence first hand and often. Those against what he is doing probably have never had to deal with problem after problem after problem with gun violence. Some sit up on their high horses armed to the teeth looking all big and bad with don't tread on me accross their ammo belt barely seen under the flag they are wrapped in but only visible because of the Bible they hold in the same hand as one of the firearms and they pronounce how anyone even using common sense regarding gun ownership is taking away (boo hoo) their 2nd Amendment rights.
Miss Gabby Cashing in! She's going to get rich like Jim Brady.
