Florida’s Mayors Under Attack For Joining Gun Control Group

 

Forty-five of Florida’s mayors have joined the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Understandably, these men and women have been inundated with mail and phone calls from constituents who are unhappy that their elected leaders are supporting this group. Mayors Against Illegal Guns has around 450 cities nationwide under its thumb.

The group has the kind of name that is hard to argue with. Who is for illegal guns? But this is just a form of Orwellian Newspeak created to mask the organizations true intentions. What you consider to be a legally owned firearm may not be the same as what this group considers to be legal.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns was founded by billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. New York City is notorious for its draconian gun laws and it doesn’t take a great leap of faith to believe that the group wants New York style gun control in every American city. If you own any type of firearm, this would most likely make you an illegal gun owner.

Former NRA President Marion Hammer is afraid the mayors group really wants to spread New York City gun control.

“This is what we like to call a ’soft front’ to hide what they’re really doing,” Hammer said. “Everybody is against illegal guns. The NRA is the one organization that has worked for years to stop people from using legal guns illegally — that’s called ‘criminal activity,’ by the way. Our big thing is to punish people who use guns illegally and leave legal gun owners alone.”
