Nearly 50 mayors have jumped ship from Bloomberg's “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” campaign as one mayor has ‘blown the whistle'.
Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik recently stated in the Poughkeepsie Journal the group’s true intentions: total disarmament of law-abiding gun owners.
“Under the guise of helping mayors facing a crime and drug epidemic, MAIG intended to promote confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens,” Tkazyik said.
“Nearly 50 pro-Second Amendment mayors have left the organization. They left for the same reason I did,” he added.
Nearly 50 mayors have jumped ship on former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” campaign over allegations that the group’s ultimate goal is outright gun confiscation, according to one former member.
Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group hits snag with truth-telling mayor.
As reported, Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik published a statement in last week’s Poughkeepsie Journal coming clean about the group’s true intentions, total disarmament of law-abiding gun owners.
“Under the guise of helping mayors facing a crime and drug epidemic, MAIG intended to promote confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens,” Tkazyik said, confirming what many already suspected about the group.
“Nearly 50 pro-Second Amendment mayors have left the organization. They left for the same reason I did,” he also added.
The fact that 50 mayors bailed in response to a concerted effort to undermine the Bill of Rights is certainly headline-worthy, but so far, unsurprisingly, few other media outlets have picked the story up.
And Tkazyik isn’t the first to cast these allegations. In 2007, the mayor of Williamsport, Pa., also said she left after witnessing “dubious” attempts to subvert the Second Amendment. “I have learned that the coalition may be working on issues which conflict with legal gun ownership, and that some actions on your behalf are dubious,” then-Williamsport Mayor Mary Wolf wrote in a letter to Bloomberg himself.
And just last year, during a Mothers Demand Action rally (a gun control coalition which merged with MAIG in December 2013), Austin, Texas City Councilman Mike Martinez singled out a protestor carrying a “Stop the Gun Ban” sign and told him, “…there is no gun ban currently, but because of the work we’re doing here today, we will make your sign legitimate shortly, so you hang on to that.”
News of the group’s traitorous crusade comes at a time when American gun owners are already wary of continual attempts to curtail firearm ownership. Since the Sandy Hook school shooting, the Obama administration has proposed legislation aimed at combating “gun violence,” including proposals that would require background checks for all gun sales; in effect, registration.
American gun owners who know the history behind gun control are fearful that a federal gun registry will eventually lead to confiscation. Indeed, numerous articles have been published showing how, since 2007, roving law enforcement teams have been disarming Californians deemed “illegal” using a list of owners.
However, in the face of blatant evidence, the director of MAIG, Mark Glaze, has boldly gone on to publicly deny that “nobody in California has come to take anyone’s guns.”
I AM AGANIST MAYOR BLOOMBERY’S AND HIS LIES. WE ARE GOING TO KEEP OUR GUNS. THIS IS AMERICA.
BLOOMBERG YOU KEEP UP YOUR ANT-GUN CAMPAIGN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A WAR YOU CAN’T WIN IF THAT WHAT YOU WANT BRING IT ON

Haters gonna hate.
What is a illegal gun ? If it is not full auto it’s legal .
No $#%&!@*
It truly is about time.
I’m glad to see some of the mayors have come to their sense. I don’t have a gun but If I did I would not give it up. I have friends, family, and associate’s I have talked to and believe me American’s will not give up their guns. History has taught us that people who gave up their guns are now controlled by a dictator. They have no rights or voice, they own nothing and will never rise from the status they were born to. I have worked with one who defected from Cuba, and one that defected for USSR. Have you often wondered why.??
at last they wake up,and probably read what they were promoting.
