MikeB thinks the MAIG mayors are eminently reasonable, and basically only want to do something as modest as ban private party transfers of firearms. Let’s set aside for a moment the fact that the bill MAIG is getting behind goes much farther than necessary to accomplish the stated goal, and actually have a discussion about … Continue reading “So You Want To Talk Background Checks Eh?”
Bitter will be on Cam & Company at 9:20 to talk about our investigative journalism into Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Â Tune in at NRANews.com or on Sirius Satellite Radio, Channel 144. UPDATE: For those who missed Bitter, you can find the segment below. This is her first time appearing on NRA News representing … Continue reading “Bitter on Cam & Company Tonight @ 9:20”
The Mayor of Stroudsburg is standing by Bloomberg, with some helpful cover by the Pocono Record. Bitter and I have been working closely with Dan of PAFOA on this project, and we’re happy to see our results get noticed by the media, but the rest is going to be up to the grassroots. Let’s see … Continue reading “Stroudsburg Mayor Baughman Buying Snow Job”
Mike Bloomberg is coming out swinging against the checked firearms rule on Amtrak, a rule that not even the Brady Campaign opposes. It would appear that Mayor Bloomberg is setting himself up to be the most extreme anti-gun leader in the gun control movement. For those who live in cities represented by a Mayor Against … Continue reading “Bloomberg the Political Radical”
On Friday morning, I noticed that the little counter on the MAIG website had Bloomberg’s numbers down to 400 mayors. Meanwhile, the news release touting more than 450 mayors was running on the website. (Apparently they haven’t discovered the memory hole, even though this would be an appropriate use for it.) Later that day, after … Continue reading “Another Round of Good News for Us, Bad News for Bloomberg”
It was probably intended that if MAIG were ever attacked by the NRA, they’d cry foul and claim it as evidence that the NRA were out looking to arm criminals with the illegal guns they are supposedly against. Â We’re seeing that already. From Tallahassee: “To keep illegal guns out of the hands of criminals and … Continue reading “Smart Rhetoric, But Will Anyone Buy It?”
In looking over the mayors who are not actually in office, I tried to put together how many of those mayors were not actually in office on the day that Bloomberg ran the anti-concealed carry advertisement in USA Today. I did this a while ago in my Mayors Against Guns research, but I completely forgot … Continue reading “Fact Checking Mayor Mike’s Ads since USA Today Won’t”
This is a cross posting from PAGunRights.com of the most up-to-date information I can find about the Pennsylvania mayors who are leaving MAIG. My reference to local here is anything the 8th, 13th, or 19th districts since those are the areas covered by the site contributors. A roar of protest is spreading among Pennsylvania mayors … Continue reading “PA Mayors Leaving Bloomberg’s Group”
I feel bad that Bitter’s lengthy and thorough work at researching a strategy that could be used to cut Mayor Bloomberg’s MAIG group down to size kind of got lost in the open carry hubbub from yesterday. For those that might have missed it, a summary can be found at the other site we run … Continue reading “Summary of the Bloomberg Posts”
The biggest issue for most Pennsylvanians looking to call for their mayors to leave Bloomberg’s coalition will be convincing them that Mayor Mikey is a political liability. If the mayor is a true believer, you might as well stop and either concentrate on booting them out via the ballot box or find another election to … Continue reading “Setting Political Sights on Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Mayors, Part V”
