It looks like a shift in focus is coming from at least one Democrat candidate for president:
On a call with reporters, Bloomberg campaign states director Dan Kanninen kicked it off zeroing in on Bernie Sanders. On guns, Kanninen alleged Sanders spent "his entire career paying back the NRA for getting him elected" & "that Sanders' track record on guns is disqualifying."

Michael Bloomberg has spent most of his time lately going after President Trump, but now that it looks like Bernie Sanders could be pulling away from the Dem pack very soon, the former NYC mayor is hitting Bernie, and using the NRA to do so:
The NRA paved the road to Washington for Bernie Sanders.
He spent the next three decades making sure they got a return on their investment.
We deserve a president who is not beholden to the gun lobby.#NotMeNRA pic.twitter.com/HLYZe4J5PM

It was inevitable, we suppose:
There's a reason gun control is never brought up in debates anymore — it's a losing issue for Democrats.
There are far too many responsible gun owners in this country, who aren't buying into any of this propaganda pushed by Bloomberg. https://t.co/Zfg6ahhd8D

Ironically, the more people refuse to buy it the more Bloomberg will decide to push it.
None will speak favorably of law enforcement either. They add numbers to their flock by constantly vilifying LE & painting responsible gun owners as racist, gun nuts.

Sanders has a D- rating from the NRA.

When you disarm your personal security, we can have an honest debate about what the Second Amendment is all about. https://t.co/wy5rcDybSN

Bloomberg sure does like his hypocrisy on guns (not to mention climate change).
