USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “The bipartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors passed a series of resolutions calling for more gun control measures during the group’s annual meeting in Boston this week,” Politico reported Tuesday. “The conference is advocating measures to strengthen the regulation of gun sales and dealers, as well as ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.”
“Bipartisan” is a euphemism for overwhelmingly dominated by Democrats and RINOs, used so they can give the impression that citizen disarmament is an American value. And of course this is all political theater, as nothing they demand will have the slightest impact on the violence that their own policies and edicts make inevitable.
Who thinks doubling down on FFLs will be successful at impeding the urban black market for guns? As for “assault weapons” (aside from “weapons of war” in the hands of the People being precisely what the Founders had in mind), the mayors have the numbers to know they’re blowing smoke.
It’s curious that Gary, Indiana, Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, chair of the conference’s criminal and social justice committee, pretends that prior restraints and ignoring due process on “legal” purchases would make a difference in her city. “Ranked #1 in the worst places to live in Indiana and “#6 in the most dangerous cities in Indiana,” the contention that “red flag laws” would make a bit of difference is a fraudulent diversion, and a transparent one at that.
So naturally, Everytown President John Fienblatt is out there claiming ““Mayors are on the frontlines of America’s gun violence crisis, so it’s no surprise they’re also leading the charge to pass common-sense, life-saving laws.” When it comes to mayoral frauds, the Bloom-Borgs have plenty of experience, what with so many of their commie-sense members wearing prison jumpsuits in support of the #WearOrange campaign.

KD read your comment and I could go n for hours with you on much of what we both said I am not p/c and never will be so I guess we’ll just have to hag in there and hope they finally get it right before it’s to late!!!!!!!!!!
It really is amazing how open the criminal psychopath criminals in politics are about disarming their potential victims.
22 shot in Trenton. At an “arts” festival. Arts in a cesspool? What did the politicians expect? The armpit of New Jersey. The shooter was a convicted felon. Convicted of Homicide. Gov nutjob Murphy responded, need more gun control. It’s the gun’s fault.
I will keep posting my thoughts on the school security until somebody picks up the ball and runs with it, take all of the security and bodyguards away from all of the politicians until they come up with a program to secure all of the schools, after 9-11 they came up with the TSA for all of the airports in 30 days!!!! the politicians have kicked this down the road since 1999 Columbine and nothing changes all they keep doing is pass more laws and lip talk a good story to get reelected My Case is WHAT PRICE DO YOU… Read more »
Here in Australia it’s illegal for anyone with a criminal conviction to run for public office at local, state or federal level.
Why doesn’t a 2nd amendment friendly congressman put forward a bill to make it the case over there?
Also, the last time I looked, anyone who takes up office swears an oath to protect the constitution. So why aren’t these pricks being charged with treason???
Alfanso and Hogg; A pair of ignorant little indoctrinated thugs and idiots. Someone should lock them away until they gave brains implanted somewhere besides between their butt checks.
Good article. Nice expose’ on the commies. These people still on office that make laws against the 2a are traitors. They all took an oath and I am not aware of any oaths that do not include following laws and the constitution. Maybe I just missed them, but if not, they have violated their oath of office.

From what i hear, Wyoming is starting to have liberal problems too. Nip it in the butt now or forever be dammed.Liberals are a weed that keeps coming back and it keeps spreading.
Have you ever been driving and be passed by a teen going 90 and texting? On average, 11 teens die each day from testing while driving! This does not include their victims! If this is not politically motivated, why don’t they focus efforts to get teens to stop texting while driving?
I’ll say it again. Guns aren’t violent. People commit violence. The ignorance of Liberals is pathetic. And how many armed guards does Bloomberg have surrounding him?
