More on Bloomberg
Seems he’s enlisted other mayors in the fight on illegal guns:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said Sunday that 37 more mayors have signed on to fight illegal guns, joining the 15 who convened in New York in April for the first Mayors Summit on Illegal Guns.
At the April 25 summit, the mayors signed a six-point resolution to combat gun violence and said they hoped to put pressure on the federal government and state legislatures to strengthen anti-gun laws.
New additions to the coalition include Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, Mayor Shirley Franklin of Atlanta, Mayor Martin O’Malley of Baltimore, Mayor Bill White of Houston and Mayor Manuel Diaz of Miami.
I don’t think a few of those mayors realize that guns that are illegal in NY (that he wants to fight) are not illegal in their cities. Seriously, the mayor of Houston?

I heard over the weekend that he was on thwe radar screen for a Presidential run in ’08. ‘
He’d better switch back to being a Democrat before running, though.

Houston doesn’t surprise me. After all, that is the city that responded to the state legislature making it legal to drive with a gun in your car by saying that they will arrest people for it whether it is illegal or not.
