The gun blogosphere is ablaze with this video hawked by Mayors Against Illegal Guns showing a one Adam Gadhan, a high ranking American-born Al-Quaeda operative, naively posting that machine guns can be had at US gun shows without background checks. Most people have focused on the ridiculousness of this assertion, but I think more interesting … Continue reading “MAIG Poster Child is Already Prohibited”
Writing on Opposing Views, NSSF’s Larry Keane highlights how the response to Wal-Mart selling guns in more stores from Boston Mayor & MAIG leader Tom Menino reveals that even when they get what they want, MAIG still isn’t happy as long as law abiding Americans are still allowed to purchase & own firearms.
It’s interesting if you take a look at the comments from Primanti Brothers’ Facebook, you can see just how effective Mayors Against Illegal Guns branding really is. This is a reason why I believe this group is the current biggest threat to our continued success preserving the Second Amendment. Note the guy that comments “Is … Continue reading “The Effectiveness of What MAIG Is Doing”
MAIG sure does love themselves polls. The latest from the Mayors group is being spun favorably, but I think it doesn’t really look all that good for them, mostly because polls don’t matter worth crap in politics. Polls show you what a person is willing to tell a pollster. They don’t give indication of where … Continue reading “New MAIG Polls”
From today’s Washington Post. Click for a closer look: They are counting very heavily on Obama giving a shout out to gun control efforts in the State of the Union. So heavily, MAIG spent a sizable amount to buy this full page ad. They need him to do it. I’m crossing my fingers and hope … Continue reading “Full Page MAIG Ad Appears in WaPo”

Or maybe that was Illegal Mayors Against Guns, or something like that. He has apparently been convicted of his crimes involving domestic violence. There was also some issues earlier in the … Continue reading “MAIG Mayor Bradley Convicted”
This time the Mayor of White Plains, for domestic abuse. Very glad we have an organization dedicated to fighting the scourge of illegal mayors.
By now everyone has seen MAIG’s latest study that I said seemed to jump to conclusions. Not wanting the other side to have a monopoly on drawing conclusion based on data, I’ve been looking more closely at the data in my <sarcasm>copious free time</sarcasm>, and compiling this post. I am by no means a statistical … Continue reading “Debunking MAIG’s Latest Study”
Dave Hardy notes that a the top trafficking states that MAIG claims have a majority of the population of the country, meaning it’s hardly surprising. Also see this interview by Cam Edwards with John Frazer, NRA-ILA’s Research and Information Director:
Released just today, but it seems to me that it’s making assumption on top of assumption. Nonetheless, it throws numbers around with authority. I’m not sure how statements like this are convincing, however: Moreover, the average TTC of the ten states that export crime guns at the lowest rates is 14.1 years, while the average … Continue reading “Latest MAIG “Research””
