Nope, I typed what the campaign report said correctly. There’s a reason I phrased it the way I did. (Given that SIH has a wider audience range, I didn’t feel like it was terribly important to focus on that correction. My source on it would have been the pop-up laden Classmates.com at that.)

Keep up the great work!

Oh, and as an ex-resident of the PRNJ, however appropriate Bashing Ridge, New Jersey may really be, I think you mean BASKING Ridge. :P

That’s a very rude comment at the end, Tom. If you choose to re-ask your question without insulting the host, then maybe I’ll choose to answer. In the meantime, if you believe this blog is so terrible for news, I’m assuming this will be your last visit. For someone who feels the need to argue that it’s a change to find good info here, I find it puzzling why you have left more than 300 comments and been a regular visitor for more than two years.

So…is there someplace that shows how long some of the mayors have been members?

I recently (month ago maybe) got an NRA mailer saying that my mayor was a member. I had looked over it, but never saw him on there.

You’re providing some good info here for a change.

I do believe funding is fairly mixed, to Mayor Mikey's credit. Obviously he's raising money for this (your numbers are from 2008, but there's also the 2009 grant to fund staff for $500K), but historically he has been willing to put his own money on the table. Sadly, he has a lot of it. That's why we try to encourage others to give when we do. If we all give a little, there are a lot more of us than there are on his side. We can counter it, and we should.

Due to the inter-relationships of these gun control organizations, as they go back and forth across state lines, could they be Federally charged with crossing state lines with a minor for immoral purposes? (Everything applies except “the minor).

[...] Mayors Against Illegal Guns faster than anybody else I know of. A great post there made by Bitter establishes the connection between Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Brady Campaign. This is a big deal since Bloomberg is trying to make it appear as though his posse isn’t an [...]
