Firearms Industry Hails New Jersey Mayor Following Resignation from Bloomberg Coalition
Website News ^ | 7/9/07 | NSSF

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Citing careful review of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's statements and actions, listening to the concerns of many of his constituents and receiving communications from and speaking with officials at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) -- the firearm industry's trade association -- Oldmans Township (NJ) Mayor Harry Moore resigned his membership in the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition (MAIG) Saturday afternoon.

"I joined your coalition because of its purported purpose to combat the criminal acquisition and misuse of guns, which is a goal shared by all Americans," wrote Moore in his resignation letter to Mr. Bloomberg. "Regrettably, it has become abundantly clear to me that you are using this coalition of mayors to advance a hidden agenda of bringing lawsuits against members of the firearms industry and spreading anti-gun propaganda."

Fantastic!

Now, lets see if we can’t stop osha from regulating ammunition off commercial shelves and out of the hands of citizens.

ruefully

What is the status of that regulation? I remember Hannity saying last week that it still had to go to board approval before becoming OSHA regulation.

“We don’t need gun control, we need bullet control! ‘Wow...that dumb@$$ musta real deserved it. That bullet musta cost them $1000!’”

God Bless Mr. President, as you and your faith, along with very few of US stand together. May your independence pervail and may the course you choose bring devine providence to our Nation. May you be redeemed in the eyes of a grateful Nation for doing what is right and necessary. Never waiver, but follow your principles and your sense of dignity for together with God some of US beleive you will do the right thing for the right reason.

The period of comment has been extended 60 days to September...or so it’s been said (don’t trust regulatory agencies myself). The original POC was mid July. GOA, NSSF, and NRA have all posted bulletins with points of contact so we can “comment.”

Most tempting situation to maybe employ and auto-mailer I’ve seen in a long time.

ruefully,

For those who are not familiar with New Jersey politics take my word this is a VERY courageous move. Jersey politicians foam at the mouth when they even see a caulking gun.
