Some local mayors have joined "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" (MAIG) which was founded and is funded by activist anti-gun billionaire and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Is your mayor one of them? Click here to find out! You may also look at the list below.
Despite its very misleading name, this national group of anti-gun mayors has lobbied Congress against national reciprocity of state Right-to-Carry permits, against much-needed reform of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), for regulating gun shows out of existence, and for repealing the Tiahrt Amendment that protects the privacy rights of law-abiding gun owners and limits disclosure of sensitive firearm trace data to protect law enforcement personnel and protect lawful gun manufacturers from bogus lawsuits.
Bloomberg created "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" as a front group to lobby Congress to oppose important pro-gun reforms and support new federal gun control restrictions. And some mayors have joined or been duped into joining this anti-gun Bloomberg crusade. If your mayor has joined MAIG, it is critical that he or she resign from this anti-gun group. You can do your part by contacting your mayor's office today and urging your mayor to withdraw his or her MAIG membership. A number of mayors have already quit the anti-gun Bloomberg coalition and yours should be the next one to do so.
Please call, e-mail and write your mayor today and ask him or her to support law-abiding gun owners by publicly disassociating with Michael Bloomberg and "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." Help your mayor make the right choice between protecting your Second Amendment rights or continuing to be associated...

“My name’s Royce, and I really like guns....(no wait....I really do....honest!...)...”
Our mayor is a “friend of ACORN”, so yes, he is likely on the list
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Second Amendment of the U.S. ConstitutionThe very last resort
None in Texas.
How about Mayors against crime?
Nahhhhh....too much profiling......
Is there a group called “Mayors FOR Illegal Guns”?
I just sent off a letter to my paper regarding this.....let’s see if it gets published.
Illegal Aliens can be deported. Mayors Against Illegal Guns want to infringe on your right to self defense. No right is more important.
Agreed the Guns also would be a VERY BAD IDEA for the Clown too go after or his minion's to try.
Mayor Bloomberg could only be a White MAGE, though. Sucks to be him.
Also against guns built in a garage by a gang-banger; made in a prison shop by a convict; belt fed deer rifles; 2 ga swivel shotguns with a 25 round magazine mounted on your duck hunting boat....
These people need to get voted out.
Thanks for the heads up!
I just sent the story to my gun loving, Bible clinging, right wing extremist friends.
