The National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre said Sunday that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has an “insane” approach to gun control, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” that universal background checks for gun buyers are a “dishonest premise.”

“Criminals aren’t going to be checked, they’re not going to do this,” LaPierre said, calling background checks a “speed bump for the law abiding.”

Bloomberg, an advocate of stricter gun control, has given millions of dollars toward tighter regulation through Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He supports universal background checks, as well as a ban on assault weapons and an upgraded gun-tracking system — all measures the NRA opposes.
