Exploit much, Bloomy?
Via The Hill:
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (I) pro-gun control group on Thursday unveiled a new ad featuring parents of children killed in the Newtown, Conn. mass shooting calling for tougher gun laws.
The ad from “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” will run on Connecticut stations, and urges state legislators to pass universal background checks on all gun sales, as well as bans on the sale of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, according to reports.
In the ads, parents of victims slain at the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School share memories of their family members before the tragedy and learning of their deaths.
“We dropped Jesse off in the morning to go to school December 14th, he gave me a hug and a kiss and said ‘I love you dad and I love mom too,” says Neil Heslin, the father of student Jesse Lewis. “That was the last I ever saw of Jesse alive,” he adds.
Jillian Soto, whose sister Vicky Soto was a teacher at the school killed in the attack, says her sibling “loved teaching at Sandy Hook elementary.”
