Bloomberg/MAIG paid for a full-page ad in today’s U.S.A. Today stating their opposition to H.R. 822. From their press release:
“A coalition of more than 600 Republican, Democratic and Independent U.S. mayors today called on the Senate to reject efforts by gun lobby allies to quickly introduce and pass a measure that would override state laws determining who can carry concealed, loaded weapons in public places …”
About 100 of these mayors are from New York. How many of them have joined in with Blooomberg’s bitching? Zero. I have not seen a single media statement from any of the local mayors, even those from the larger municipalities. If this is such a hot issue, then why aren’t any of them talking about it?
