The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Someone sent me this article that the Mayor of Omaha, Nebraska, a MAIG mayor, has been defeated. Any defeat of a Bloomberg Mayor is good news, but the question is whether his involvement was a factor in the election, and whether the new Mayor of Omaha, Jean Stothert, won’t also be joining. Targeting MAIG mayors … Continue reading “MAIG Mayor Defeated”
I don’t think it’s too much to ask, but apparently it is for Mayor Healey of Jersey City, New Jersey, a founding member of MAIG. This was a controversy back in the 2004 race, when a photo of him naked on his porch surfaced. He said he got a little too drunk, and didn’t remember … Continue reading “Can MAIG Mayors Keep Their Pants On?”
Story here at Politco. People have long said that gun control won’t bring any votes to the table, and that’s true, but politicians hate looking bad, and that’s one advantage that our opponents have when backed by someone with Bloomberg’s money. I’m in agreement with a commenter at Ace’s: By the way Senator, this isn’t … Continue reading “MAIG Pulls Opposition Ads on Toomey”
The Washington Post is reporting that MAIG is going to get into the grading business, noting that they are aiming to be a full counterweight to the NRA. I’m always surprised by anti-gun groups making this declaration, and then imitating NRA’s tactics. Without millions of single-issue or very near single issue voters, grading candidates won’t … Continue reading “MAIG to Issue Letter Grades”
We already brought you the story about Mike Bloomberg’s gun control ally in Marcus Hook, PA who was under investigation for keeping a hostage in his home before firing a round into the floor of the house where his teen daughter also slept. Today, he was arrested and the actual charges released: The mayor of … Continue reading “Charges Filed Against MAIG Mayor”
The Mayorship of New York has been the key MAIG Mayorship during the reign of King Bloomberg. But with his lordship’s term of office about to expire, who will it be to take the helm? Who will be the new, if perhaps symbolic leader of MAIG? Oh please, let it be him.
Mayor James Schiliro of Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, a member of Michael Bloomberg’s MAIG coalition, is in some hot water. Charges haven’t been filed yet, but that’s because police have been rounding up evidence and executing search warrants to fully investigate him for using a city police officer to shuttle a friend to his house, providing … Continue reading “MAIG Mayor Holds Hostage with a Gun”
We all know that the shooting sports are fun. It turns out that the lobbyists MAIG hires to promote gun bans know they are, too. One of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s top gun-control lobbyists in Colorado appears to enjoy firing the very guns he is working to restrict. Denver-based Headwaters Strategies lobbyist Adam … Continue reading “MAIG Lobbyist Loves Shooting “Assault Weapons” He Lobbies to Ban”
Jacob thinks their real aim is bringing and end to private transfers of firearms. I would tend to agree, since it’s been MAIG’s top agenda item since the beginning. But don’t think MAIG will push for a clean bill. They’d be quite happy to support a private transfer ban along with a new assault weapons … Continue reading “MAIG’s Real Strategy”
They got 400,000 people to sign a petition since Newtown. Did those people fork over $25 bucks for the privilege of signing up? How many would have signed up, do you think, if you had asked for that? MAIG has nearly 13,000 people on Facebook following them. NRA is starting to lick up on 1.9 million … Continue reading “MAIG’s Response to NRA Member Increase”
