Having cities sign up for Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition in a way that sneaks the act through -- and bypasses concerned citizens being able to make alternative views known -- may be the newest tactic the group is employing, if what happened at the last Palo Alto City Council meeting is any indication. The San Jose Mercury News reported yesterday that this was done by breaking established protocol during the oral communications portion of the meeting, where details of what is to be discussed are not included on posted agendas, thus leaving no way for gun rights activists to know official activities that affect them are being planned.
Exercising what he called “personal privilege,” Mayor Greg Scharff signed the MAIG membership form following the orchestrated urgings of “gun control” activists who showed up to "demand a plan."
Scharff’s enlistment, and the publicity it generates, is a needed shot in the arm for the group following some embarrassing high-profile defections.
