Because two bit criminals are going to dump several thousand dollars on a TrackingPoint: David Chipman, a spokesman for Mayors Against Illegal Guns which lobbies for an expansion of background checks for people buying guns, said the PGF “is not your grandfather’s hunting rifle used for sport and recreation this is a weapon designed to […]

Not just another illegal mayor but the whole group: One California mayor is now saying that their use of his name on lobbying letters is illegal since he is not part of the group and made his resignation clear months ago.

Meh, they’re all bankrolled by the same few anyway: Moms will soon join mayors in a push to limit access to illegal firearms, as two high-profile groups reveal plans to merge. Outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Thursday will announce that it is joining with Moms Demand Action for […]

Paying off their members to keep them from quitting?

Well, one of their featured mayors is accused of it. Another illegal mayor in the making.

Well, not really. But Buzzfeed has a bit on a lot of mayors quitting the group because it’s not what they signed up for. A trend covered on gun blogs for years.

Another illegal mayor, this one naked and drunk on his porch. A mayor member lost his re-election bid

Gee, I thought they were for reasonable controls. But they’re opposing modernizing MI’s gun control laws.

This is pretty shitty.

A woman who was cleared in the alleged murder of her husband because of physical abuse gets five years for violating NY gun laws.

The company you keep: 15 Mayors Against Guns are criminals. It’s a recurring theme. And now, there’s a mayor listed as a member. But he died in 2010. Zombie mayors!

Bloomberg pulls gun permits of disabled cops.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent? In Wisconsin, MAIG mayor defeated.

Alan: This is not about enforcing existing laws. This is about creating new ones, and banning guns. No wonder Bloomberg didn’t want it made public.

It’s not a secret anymore. Seems some pro-rights activists got a hold of it. Quite a wish list they have there, including such gems as RealID for gun purchases and enhanced record keeping by FFLs. In the past, gun control group like the Brady Campaign and the Violence Policy Center have been, frankly, jokes. Oh, […]

If you thought it would be a major paper covering their disappearing members, accusations they’re using names of mayors without the their permission or that a good number of them are in jail, you would be wrong. It’s about their action plan.

More allegations that MAIG listed people who never signed up: Mayor Dale Strasser says he is a member of the National Rifle Association and has never supported any gun control organizations. So he was surprised to discover that pro-gun control organization Mayors Against Illegal Guns said he was a member in its promotional materials. “My […]

Proving once again that they have no grassroots and are all intertwined, the connections between MAIG and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership.

Yup: A substantial number of member of the coalition have been indicted in recent months, on felony charges. Here in the US, conviction of felony means the immediate loss of both the right to vote and the right to own a gun for the rest of one’s life. This is an organization that espouses doing […]

Michael Silence addresses my concern that no press outlets have mentioned that, in two weeks, MAIG has lost 50 members. He says that the group is mentioned in small papers. I quickly perused the first few news links articles and I didn’t see one that mentioned that 50 members had dropped out. Granted, I could […]

Buckeye Firearms: Is Mayor Bloomberg adding mayors to his gun control front group without permission? Not the first time I have heard that allegation. Though 46 mayors have left, press coverage focuses on those that stay in. Also, fact-checking their ads.

NRA targets GA Mayor. And it seems the group has lost several members recently.

Seattle mayor ousted. And pro-gun successes in Pennsylvania.

From the horse’s, err, well you know: Wal-Mart and the bi-partisan coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns have announced that Wal-Mart, the largest seller of firearms in the nation, has adopted the new Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership, a 10-point code that will help ensure that guns do not fall into the wrong hands.

A plan: Taking on the Anti-Gun Mayors of Pennsylvania Meanwhile, in Ohio, another mayor quits Mayor Bloomberg’s coalition upon discovering it really is just an anti-gun group. One of many.

I’ve followed the issue of gubernatorial candidate and Knoxville mayor Haslam and and his unfortunate membership in an anti-gun group for a bit. A reader notes: Hey, I went to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns web site and Knoxville and Haslam are not there. Did he quit? He did distance himself from them in the […]

They’ve set up a youtube channel and are really pushing this fictitious gun show loophole thing. They’re also reminding everyone that McCain buys this gun show loophole nonsense.

So, we knew that Shelby County Mayor Wharton and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam were members of the Joyce Foundation funded group Mayors Against Guns. But now, there’s a new edition. Via Rustmeister, seems Oak Ridge Mayor Tom Beehan is also a member of this sham group. Other mayors have figured out the group is a […]

The NRA has a page up listing the mayors who joined Bloomberg’s anti-gun group. They also have contact info and how to be heard. Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam is a member of the group.
