Mayors for Traffic Safety

On: By: admin

A new study is out saying traffic accidents kill a lot more New Yorkers than guns do:

“… According to a study by the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy, and Transportation Alternatives, more people in New York City have died in traffic accidents than by gun violence in the past 10 years.   The report names speeding as the number one contributing factor for deadly crashes …”

Not surprising.  The question that needs to be asked then is:

“… This prompts the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association to ask: why does Bloomberg spend so much time and so much of his own money harassing firearms dealers and lobbying to restrict the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers and all Americans?  Why has he tirelessly promoted the junk science of microstamping in Albany?  Why hasn’t he formed Mayors for Traffic Safety?  When will solid public policy initiatives take precedence over his obsession with guns?”

How much worse could he be?

Considering Mayor Bloomberg’s performance, I have to ask how much worse could he be?

“Alec Baldwin is mulling a run for mayor of New York City now that kinky Congressman Anthony Weiner appears to have sexted himself out of the 2013 race.  The “30 Rock” star, who has long talked about running for political office, believes Weinergate has shaken up the field of candidates enough that he might have a chance to win, a friend of the actor told The Daily …”

The San Francisco Chronicle has a story entitled, “Here Are 12 Reasons Why The AOL-Huffington Post Merger Is Going Down In Flames.”

Here’s reason #13, “White House Taking ‘Seriously’ Al Qaeda’s Eying Of America’s Gun Show Loophole“:

“The Obama administration says it’s taking “seriously” a statement from an al Qaeda spokesman that instructs sympathizers of the terrorist group to exploit soft spots in U.S. gun laws …”

Bloomberg’s al Qaeda fraud

On: By: admin

Mayor Bloomberg and MAIG are promoting this video through their Fix Gun Checks website which they claim shows an al Qaeda operative encouraging American Muslims to take advantage of our “easily obtainable” firearms and start killing people.

I call fraud on this.  This had to have been made up either by MAIG, Brady, CSGV or some other gun grabber with an agenda.  It’s got all their talking points and ends with the guy smirking at the end of the clip.

It’s not about “gun safety”

Nice retort in The Advance from a Saratoga cop to a Brady/MMM spokesman trying to intimidate Sen. Lanza into supporting microstamping legislation.  He appears to have read the press release I wrote about CoBIS back in March.

Why not use CoBIS?

NYAGV and CSGV are Tweeting that if New York had passed microstamping, this murder would have already been solved.

Why not use CoBIS?

Oh, yeah.  It does not work.
