Sure, anti-2A organizations are in turns annoying, laughable, ineffectual (especially given recent trends) and frequently pathetic. But hey, they have a right to exist and express their rights-challenged POV. Free speech and all that. Agree or not, it’s a free country, right? But what if you were forced to fund their advocacy efforts? What if your tax dollars were being appropriated to pay the people who are working to make your ability to own and carry a gun as onerous and difficult as possible? Well buckle up, Bunky, because you are. Thanks to a little digging by Sean Caranna at allnineyards.com, it turns out that the city of Orlando subsidizes one of Bloomy’s MAIG operatives in a position the city lists as a Mayors Against Illegal Guns Regional Coordinator. Caranna’s found these positions salted into city payrolls all over the country and lists the “coordinators” he’s uncovered. So far. Check out the list at the link, above, and hold onto your wallet.
sounds like a new way to line there pockets with $$$$
How does this differ from taxation without representation? (American Revolution)
Bloomberg and his kind are kings, and we, the actual 99% are but serfs paying forced tribute.
Self-serving scumbags, the lot of them. Yet, there are idiots that continually vote them in for another term.
Because you can vote for the people who hire these people and vote them out. That wasn’t possible in Colonial times where the colonists had no vote in Parliament, but were subject to laws and taxes imposed by that body.
urban politics+ unrelated violence= fear= votes for these groups.
MAIG regional coordinator sounds like a no show job.
If only
“Agree or not, it’s a free country, right?”
no
This is beyond outrageous!
It is time to stop defending our rights against organizations like this. It is time to go on the offensive, to attack them as the anti-American fascists they are. And this is the perfect battlefield to start the war.
I don’t know who said this, but it is still true today. “One can never win a battle while only defending his position, because the enemy can continue damaging your defenses until they eventually collapse. At some point one must attack in order to win the battle.”
I wonder if Ralph or any of the other lawyers on here could offer some insight on legal recourse for this kind of thing. What kind of grievance could you claim to sue them into losing face, money, and into firing these fools while gaining the whole thing some exposure and encouraging others to do the same in their cities?
Not surprising, usually the various politicians and government agencies are working to disarm you.
