WASHINGTON — Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said Sunday that he disagrees with President Donald Trump's call for more armed guards at places of worship in order to prevent shootings like the one that claimed the lives of 11 congregants at a synagogue in the city on Saturday.
Instead, Peduto told NBC's "Meet the Press," he believes that gun control measures would go further to help stop these shootings.
"I belong to an organization, a bipartisan organization, called Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I don't think that the answer to this problem is solved by having our synagogues, mosques and churches filled with armed guards or schools filled with armed guards," Peduto said.

So what *is* the answer? Assuming that this mayor is a Rat I’ll bet I know what his answer is.

The mayor apparently is your typical uninformed LIB nitwit. Carrying legal or illegal, lefty nut cases will try to murder you.

Ugh! I turned the channel as soon as Peduto started his anti-gun diatribe.

The mayor is wrong. But he’s entitled to his opinion that has failed everywhere it’s been implemented

I believe he meant MARES against illegal guns. All of mine are legal so I guess he has no ill intent towards me of my property then? Uh, I think he does.

Does this stupid MOFU not understand that CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS?
We have a law against murder - gee that worked out well for the 11 now deceased souls.
We have gun laws out the wazoo - did not stop this nut job from going on his killing spree.
NYC and Chicago have the toughest gun control laws on the books - and the highest per-capita murder rates - by firearms.
Some people, like this mayor, are just to fkg stupid to have even a modicum of authority over anything.

Someone ask hizzhonor if they have armed guards where his office is.

The mayor is wrong. But he’s entitled to his opinion that has failed everywhere it’s been implemented. Somebody should remind the good mayor that opinions are like rectums: almost everybody has one!

Is MAIG sponsored by Bloomberg? Mayors Against Illegal Guns? Who isn't against illegal guns? It's when it becomes "Mayors Against Legal Guns" that it becomes dicey. And that's probably what they really mean.
