Credibility of Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns suffers enormous blow
DailyCaller ^ | 06/24/2013 | Larry Keane

Things haven’t been going too well lately for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

((snip))

At a New Hampshire stop on the Mayors Against Illegal Guns “No More Names” bus tour, organizers read the names of people killed by “gun violence” during the six months since the tragedy in Newtown. But there was something amiss: included among the names read was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombers. Observers were outraged.

((snip))

But the story didn’t end there. Tsarnaev was not the only gun “victim” on the bus tour’s list. It turns out that one of every 12 names on the Bloomberg “victim” list are crime suspects – including the likes of California cop killer Christopher Dorner. Bloomberg and MAIG’s worldview is so skewed, they think murderers are actually victims!

It was a self-inflicted blow made because they wanted to jack up the numbers. Telling half truths is the way these turds work..

More “unintended consequences” from our rich friends on the left.

It’s a common scenario with liberals. If they are relegated to telling the truth they lose the debate...so they lie.

The mayor of my town has not joined. But the mayor of an adjoining town has. I'm sending him this article and asking him if he believes criminals who get shot are victims.

The only problem is, likely, fewer than 1 in 12 Americans will ever know this, and 25% of those want "gun control" at any cost.

Indeed, the low-information liberals either don’t know or don’t care. There are several in my family who are so misguided and so uninformed they wouldn’t care either way. To them guns kill people and thus are bad. So all guns should be confiscated.

Texas Ping!

Here is the current list of Mayors in Texas who are supporters of Bloomberg’s gun grab:

http://www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/html/members/members.shtml#TX

Texas:

Mayor Lee Leffingwell
Austin, TX

Mayor Tony Martinez
Brownsville, TX

Mayor Bruce Smiley-Kaliff
Castle Hills, TX

Mayor Carl Sherman
DeSoto, TX

Mayor Annise D. Parker
Houston, TX

Mayor Richard Ward

Let’s put pressure on them to reduce the list further. They DO NOT Represent Texans.

Wow! Bloomberg only had credibility with morons and zombies. So now he’s losing them?
