Post #10 by ScouseSniper on Illinoiscarry.com, under a thread titled "What is up with the Bloomberg Bus tour? ":
"I have a cousin who lives outside of Phoenix who ran out to the grocery store the evening after the MAIG bus stop there and he saw the bus parked outside of a hotel. He was curious so he pulled in the parking lot to take a look at it. What struck him was that they had three, yes three, security guards who were FULLY ARMED with SEMI-AUTO PISTOLS keeping people at a distance from the bus.
"So...let me get this straight...MAIG says guns are bad...and guns are the cause of so many of the ills in society...but their anti-gun protest vehicle needs people with guns to protect it...guns we shouldn't have to protect ourselves and our families.
"Maybe MAIG should change their motto to "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun"...err, apologies, I think that's already taken.
"One day, hopefully soon, MAIG will collapse under the weight of their own hypocrisy."

LOL!
Yes, well, you know what they say about hindsight...sigh. So that’s why I posted this. I’m hoping with the national presence FR has someone somewhere will be alert and on the lookout for the tour bus and ready to get those photos. I know they’re coming through IL eventually, and as I’m right here in Springfield, I’m planning on being ready for them with my handy dandy Droid cam. :)
They should be coming through the San Francisco Bay Area soon and I’ll try to get pic.
Fantastic! Best of luck, and stay safe.
I’m probably safe. Though I live behind enemy lines.
Looks like this is just some idiotic gimmick from a guy with too much money on his hands and not a real serious campaign.
If it were, they would look for gin up interest and get their team on board and en masse for their game.
But, they know they know they are dishonest, don’t have any serious research with unimpeachable numbers to support their outlandish claims and would be swamped by our team.
I guess it would be too hard to infiltrate the bus with Tea Party types to get out the word.
