HEY, BLOOMBERG PAYS HIM TO SPOUT THAT CRAP, NOT TO DEFEND IT: Michael Bloomberg gun group’s research director refuses on-air debate with longtime researcher. “The research director for Everytown for Gun Safety, the gun control advocacy group co-founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, recently refused to appear for an on-air debate with longtime gun law researcher John Lott on C-SPAN’s’“Washington Journal.'”

It’s an astroturf group with talking-point “research.” Dialogue is not their friend, and they know it.
