New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is backing a group called Demand a Plan, which yesterday released an ad featuring survivors of the 2011 Tucson shooting demanding action from Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. The ad notes that at current rates there will be 48,000 gun deaths during the next presidency, or "three Aurora shootings every day."
