Mayor quits Mayors Against Illegal Guns – figures out their real reason

Mayors Against Illegal Guns – the gift that keeps on giving.  Remember what I said here?

I have now watched politics in detail and intensely enough to know that they cannot tell the truth about their future plans – else they would NEVER get their hands on the Levers of Power. They can only assume the Seat either by lies of omission or by commission.

Rockford, Il’s mayor has decided to quite Nanny Stater and NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s populace-disarmament group, MAIG.

Mayor [Larry] Morrissey said the chief reason he left Bloomberg’s group is because he thought the group would be against illegal guns but has instead become a group looking for ways to ban legal guns and attack the rights of legal gun owners. He also said that he intends to get a concealed carry license himself when they become available in Illinois.

And as Grokster Rick has pointed out, elevated Criminals who have been shot by Police (in the legal pursuit of their official duties) to possess the same status of “gun violence” victims like the innocent children at Sandy Hook.

Sidenote: Actually, let me correct myself – “gun violence” is just another twisting of the common language to achieve a political outcome. After all, how often goes a gun simply jump off a shelf (or out of a locked gun safe), sail miles away in mid-air, and fire itself at someone.  Guns are inanimate object – obedient to the Laws of Thermodynamics, they just sit in one spot due to inertia.  They only move under the influence of that “outside force”; a person whose evilness has decided they will kill someone.

Here, Morrissey spells out the true purpose of MAIG – it’s NOT about taking away  illegally owned guns OR the people that seek them.  It IS simply about taking away ALL guns because Smarter People can’t trust the vast majority of their fellow citizens (a hallmark of Progressive regressivism everywhere).  He continued in talking about his reasons why he is quitting the group, and you do have to  ask yourself why?

Morrissey also made a salient point about the sort of guns Bloomberg’s group keeps harping on. The mayor pointed out that the sort of gun crime he sees in Rockford has nothing whatever to do with “assault rifles” but is instead criminal use of handguns. Yet Bloomberg’s group seems chiefly interested in so-called assault rifles despite the fact that little crime is committed by criminals using assault rifles.

Morrissey told the audience that his name still appears on the Bloomberg website but he is trying to get it to removed.

Indeed!  Of COURSE this group of the Left, of the regressive Progressives, just cannot be honest, be truthful, and be transparent in the travels around the country.  They know they can’t be “Mayors Against ALL Guns Because You Are Idiots” (shades of NH State Rep Kris Roberts) – they’d never get any traction amongst most people.  So, they outright lie – once again, giving light to that phrase “Don’t trust their words, only their actions”.

In fact, go to Rahm’s and Obama’s Chicago – that bastion of some of the most stringent gun laws in the nation and look at their murder rates and reasons.  How often to you see an “assault weapon” as being the tool-of-the-evil-murderers?  Again, Bloomie AstroTurf group comes here where the murder rate (forget murders committed by guns) is hardly that of one weekend day in Chicago to silence NH’s US Senator Kelly Ayotte simply because she holds an opposite view of the root reason (er, mentally ill and evil people).

Ya think the “No More Names” Bus will even come close to the Illinois border?
