Between the 50 mayors who have checked out of Hotel Bloomberg, some of whom were arrested, one for demanding gay sex at gunpoint, the number of people in the control freak mayor’s boutique anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, run with pilfered city resources, is dropping.
Not helping matters was Bloomberg’s declaration of war on Southern Democrats and even gun-control Republicans who didn’t hew to his exacting standards. And so Napoleon IV is watching his little empire of attack ads coming apart.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns is finding it hard to keep its membership up, thanks to dozens of resignations and lost elections over the last few months.
Worse for Bloomberg, who has become one of the faces of the gun control movement: the people replacing his lost comrades aren’t particularly eager to sign up with the organization, a rare group battling in the trenches against the well-organized and deep-pocketed National Rifle Association. Some appear not quite to have signed on for that level of political heat.
“The original focus, I thought, was going to be on focusing on better on enforcement of our existing laws, and if anything, we have talked about not getting involved with things like banning assault weapons and banning magazine clips,” said Rockford, Il. Mayor Lawrence Morrissey, who left the group in June because, he said at a town hall meeting, the group had veered from what he originally thought it was about.
The name Mayors Against Illegal Guns was quite misleading. Mayors Against Guns would have been more accurate. But the group’s fatal flaw was letting Bloomberg, an unpopular man even in his own city, become their public face.
According to an old version of its member list, saved on a blog dated back to late February, more than 50 mayors who were then listed on MAIG’s website are no longer there. Most of the mayors whose names are no longer affiliated with the group are off the list either because they resigned or lost an election, but others have specifically asked to be removed.
Meanwhile the Mayors Against Illegal Guns website, which is run using stolen city resources, hasn’t been updated since April. Not exactly promising for a group that promised to destroy the NRA and transform America.
The final message from the doomed group closes by stating. “In 2014, our ever-expanding coalition of supporters will work to make sure that voters don’t forget.”
It’s been two months.

Bloomberg is listed at 5’7″. He says he’s 5’10”. I thought he was closer to 4’11”. A runt by any measure.
a perv on top of that. imagine a mayor duping an entire city to bypass its term limit! like he’s so great you want to keep the maniac around longer. go somewhere anywhere away from harming society please.

So, basically you’re saying you were too stupid to realize what a gun-grabbing POS Bloominidiot is?
Easy to see why you didn’t take up rocket science as a career.
Or anything else that requires a brain.
