Nearly 50 Mayors Abandon Bloomberg's Anti-Gun Group

[priell3]

On Wednesday, Mayor John Tkazyik explained in the Poughkeepsie [N.Y.] Journal that he and almost 50 other mayors have dropped out of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).

The reason they left? They all felt Bloomberg was using the organization to trample on the Second Amendment rather than to push for the stricter enforcement of existing laws. Tkazyik complained that:

MAIG became a vehicle for Bloomberg to promote his personal gun-control agenda — violating the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and taking resources away from initiatives that could actually work to protect our neighborhoods and save precious lives.

He and 50 others may have dropped out of it. But I'm willing to bet that their names will still be listed as members 6 months from now. I think there's several others who have dropped out and still have the names on the site somewhere.

Bullshit. The reason they left is, bloomburg left and took his money with him.

Politicians only do things for ONE reason. To get elected, or get re-elected, and advance their careers.

Maybe these pols are starting to see the pendulum swinging back to more conservative, traditional, Constitutional values, where rights matter. One can only hope.

I hope so too.

My first thought to this thread was that there must be 50 mayors soon up for re-election though.

Its a start but by no means the end. If you see your mayor on that list you need to call him and make him aware of the BS that he is part of. The more people calling the more impact it will have.

Remember, there are over 1000 mayors on that list. need to cut it down to nothing.......
