We’ve known for years that many of the “antis” inflated their “gun violence statistics” by including criminals killed by intended victims in self-defense. Now we see it starkly on the national stage as the Michael Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns goes on a road trip.’In Concord, New Hampshire, one of their minions was reading a list of “gun violence” victims and announced the name of the Boston Marathon terrorist bomber who died in a gunfight with police. Calling a terrorist a victim does not go down well in a patriotic state whose motto is “Live Free or Die.” Unpleasantness ensued: The PJ Tatler » Bloomberg?s Real Agenda: Self-Defense is ?Gun Violence?The MAIG people are ferociously attacking Republican Kelly Ayotte, US Senator from New Hampshire. She voted – with good reason, I think – against the Manchin-Toomey universal background check bill that went down to defeat in Washington last April. Ironic… a former state attorney general, Ayotte is more credible on criminal justice and public safety issues than virtually anyone else in the United States Senate. But, those on the bus don’t seem to be looking very hard at logic or experience.Link RemovedThat’s a pretty large vehicle the MAIG crew is running around in, but judging by the intellectual horsepower on board, it’s still lookin’ like a “short bus” to me.

A large percentage of these mayors have criminal records which certainly doesn't give these politicians any type of moral high ground. Many of the mayors couldn't pass the background to purchase a firearm. Also in Illinois the home of our current President they had 3 governors in jail at the same time.

Moral high ground has no place in their agenda. They are pandering to the low information crowd. Showing they care and have good intentions is what the low information crowd lives for. Results need not apply. We continue to hear from our elected representatives every election cycle how the government spends too much, taxes are too high, too much regulation....These people tell us how they can fix these things, so we elect or re-elect them. So were are the results. More spending, higher taxes, more regulation.... the cycle continues.
