New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a long-time gun control advocate, used an appearance on WOR radio this morning to put President Barack Obama and presumed GOP nominee Mitt Romney on the spot as the tragic shootings in Aurora, CO continue to unfold. Bloomberg said that the candidates need to &#8220;stand up and tell us what they&#8217;re going to do.&#8221; Bloomberg continued: &#8220;Soothing words are nice.
