'Mayors Against Illegal Guns' Preparing Their Assault

Shouldn't this bunch be calling themselves "Mayors Against Human Freedom?"

[Erik Latranyi]

The three regional meetings, beginning with the one today in Chicago, are intended to lay the foundation for a national summit of anti-gun mayors in January. That's when the mayors plans to launch "the first-ever coordinated, national effort to convince Congress to take ideology out of law enforcement." (Endorse the gun control agenda, in other words.)

Another reason why we cannot let the Democrats take control of the House or the Senate.

[Disambiguator]

The fastest, easiest, and most constitutional way to eliminate "illegal guns" is to legalize all guns.

Thanks, mayors, you can all go home now. My invoice will be waiting in your mailboxes.

[coloradan]

They're "Mayors FOR Illegal Guns" because they're trying to make as many presently-legal guns illegal as they can. GOA and JPFO are solidly against illegal guns, and NRA is less so. It's easy to get rid of illegal guns: legalize them - and lock the people up who misuse them.

As we have learned, what is legal now is illegal tomorrow.

"It's real simple. If you want to get crime off your streets, get criminals off your streets," LaPierre said. "Here's what you do," he said in remarks addressed to Mayor Bloomberg:

"Walk down to Town Hall and tell your prosecuting attorneys that from now on, no plea bargains, no reduced charges, no dropped cases. A drug dealer caught with a gun goes to jail. A violent felon caught with a gun goes to jail. Discharge a gun in commission of a felony, go to jail. Smuggle a gun, go to jail. If you do that, if you stop talking and start acting, your violent crime rate will drop 30 to 40 to 50 percent in one year."


Think of the poor homeless lawyers???

[DownInFlames]

They should read the constitution first. Start with the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

Mayors against human freedom...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Think of the poor homeless lawyers???

Eh, maybe they can get jobs as public defenders and trade in their Beemers for Fords or something...

[WVNight]

America better wake up. We'll be living in a nanny state before long.

[mountainlyons]

It seems to me that it would be better to go after illegal people than to attack the constitution unless the mayors are criminal at heart themselves.

[Recon Dad]

There should be a group called, "Mayor's for Legal Guns".

[ozzymandus]

If these mayors had the guts to quit worrying about being called "racists" and go after the criminals, they wouldn't have to attack law-abiding gun owners.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

They are against illegal guns, but they are also for illegal immigrants!

[The Lumster]

How about "Gun Owners Against Illegal Mayors?"

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

They need to start a group called "mayors against illegal immigrants."

"...tell your prosecuting attorneys that from now on, no plea bargains, no reduced charges, no dropped cases. A drug dealer caught with a gun goes to jail. A violent felon caught with a gun goes to jail. Discharge a gun in commission of a felony, go to jail. Smuggle a gun, go to jail. "

...but I don't understand... isn't the NRA just a tool of the gun industry and the military industrial complex? Don't they argue for putting a gun in the hand of every 4th grader, and say that the 2nd amendment is really only about hunting?

Aren't they too EVIL to argue for the enforcement of gun laws?

Heaven forbid, it can't be the fault of the Mayors and their inability to manage their cities. It must be the fault of the inanimate object.
