It's ok. They are only opposed to illegal guns. I'm sure they're perfectly happy with legal guns.

Read a blog about buying a hand gun in DC. It was a humorous read, tragic went out the window long long time ago.

Where does Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) get the funding to run an advertisement during the Superbowl? It's too bad pro-gun organizations like the NRA aren't able or willing to run a counter advertisement.

Here's a video.

What a joke! Menino starts off saying, "We both support the second amendment".

Thanks!

"You know, over 600 mayors across the country agree on common sense reforms that would save lives" -- Mayor Bloomberg

It seems like Bloomberg is not one of those mayors, since he's against citizen carrying firearms for personal protection. :evil:

What a couple of boneheads. Did they tell you anywhere in the ad that a recent study found that mayors belonging to Bloomberg’s group have been arrested at a much higher rate than Tennessee handgun-carry permit holders, for crimes ranging from perjury and embezzlement to child sexual assault. But there’s no background check for politicians. I would expect similar results elsewhere. :roll:

You must have missed the part where it said that Bloomberg puts up most of the money for MAIG from his own $19.5 billion fortune.

Hmmmm, I watched at least 95% of the Superbowl along with the ads and missed this one. Did it air??

According to the NY Times, the ad only aired in DC...
