Here it is:

According to a local report, the mayor of Forest Park, GA, David Lockhart, received a communication from Mayors Against Illegal Guns asking him to join their organization.

Dear Mayor Lockhart,

I recently invited you to join Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a national bipartisan coalition of mayors from across the country representing more than 68 million Americans to reduce gun violence. I wanted to follow up to ensure that you saw our letter. A member of my team will be in contact with your staff to inquire about whether you plan to join our fast growing coalition of mayors. Additional information on the coalition and instructions for joining are contained in the letter below. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to email me at mayors@maig.org.

Lockhart didn’t just tell them no, he told them Hell No, and gave them the reasons why in the following communication.

I do not support your efforts. I oppose efforts to require private sellers with minimal sales (non-dealers) to perform background checks. I am proud that gun shows are regularly conducted in Forest Park.

If you really want to reduce illegal gun sales, perhaps your energy would be better focused in petitioning the BATF to end its illegal gunwalking. Because of Operation Fast and Furious, Brian Terry was murdered with a weapon sold by our own government.

Your organization claims that the goal is “protecting the rights of Americans to own guns, while fighting to keep criminals from possessing guns illegally,” yet none of your “Coalition Principles” further any such protections. One of the principles is to “keep lethal, military style weapons off our streets.” First, I am awestruck that you would focus on “lethal guns.” It seems that guns’ lethality is the point of their design.

That you believe a gun’s “military style” makes it more lethal is asinine, and however you would define such style does not make guns so designed illegal. Your stated goals–protecting legal ownership and eliminating criminals from illegally possessing guns–are belied by your specific objectives. What you propose would convert what is currently legal possession into criminal behavior. You may have fooled other mayors, and you may have other fools who agree with your actual objectives, but you haven’t fooled me.

That your organization was founded by Michael Bloomberg, who criminalized the sale of sodas of a certain size, is telling. It is impossible to believe such a man is really concerned with the protections afforded by our Constitution.

And, notice that the mares email is there if you care to drop them a note.

I’ve wondered if there is a second such organization but with opposite goals.

As far as the left is concerned, Americans cannot
be trusted with these high capacity lead delivery systems.

This needs to go viral folks. That panty wearing, pajama boy lovin’, gun grabbin’ mayor organization that’s run by a Commie who wants to legislate what you do but not what he does needs to be shut down.

Blumberg’s goal is the exact same goal of his oligarch butties, the disarming of Americans so the nation can be put under the thumb of government once and for all, then handed over to global government rule, fascist rule. Blumberg is a JINO. Fascist pig

Having no luck with this at Truth or Fiction. Wish it were true, but I’ve learned skepticism.

Ashley Nichole (Nikki) Read 8 yrs old. Here is something you can do to help this 8 year old. She has waited 24 yrs for JUSTICE to be carried out. JUST IMAGINE IF SHE WERE YOUR DAUGHTER, GRAND DAUGHTER, SISTER, NIECE.

You do not have to live in TN to call our governor to request justice for Nikki.

TN Gov email is bill.haslam@tn.gov PHONE calls work best 615-741-2001 TN Gov . Phone calls work the best.

This CHILD RAPIST/MURDER HAS RUN OUT OF ALL 20 YRS OF APPEALS, 2 JURIES HANDED DOWN THE DEATH PENALTY, TN GOV Halsam still has NOT SET AN EXECUTION DATE OR SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT, tell him to carry out his Constitutional duty!

This is going on 20 years of appeals. DNA & confession proved he did it.

He raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES 8 year old Ashley ‘Nicki’ Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child. Justice has been denied, her mom Debbie still grieves as there is no closure allowed by the Injustice system. She ended up having a nervous break down because it has taken so long and still NO JUSTICE for Nikki.

However you are correct, it is best to check out all “over-the-top” articles.
