Georgia Mayor’s Response to Mayors Against Illegal Guns
Via

I do not support your efforts. I oppose efforts to
require private sellers with minimal sales (non-dealers) to perform
background checks. I am proud that gun shows are regularly conducted in
Forest Park.
If
you really want to reduce illegal gun sales, perhaps your energy would
be better focused in petitioning the BATF to end its illegal gunwalking.
Because of Operation Fast and Furious, Brian Terry was murdered with a
weapon sold by our own government.
Your organization claims that the goal is “protecting the rights of
Americans to own guns, while fighting to keep criminals from possessing
guns illegally,” yet none of your “Coalition Principles” further any
such protections. One of the principles is to “keep lethal, military
style weapons off our streets.” First, I am awestruck that you would
focus on “lethal guns.”
It seems that guns’ lethality is the point of
their design.
That you believe a gun’s “military style” makes it more lethal is
asinine, and however you would define such style does not make guns so
designed illegal. Your stated goals–protecting legal ownership and
eliminating criminals from illegally possessing guns–are belied by your
specific objectives. What you propose would convert what is currently
legal possession into criminal behavior. You may have fooled other
mayors, and you may have other fools who agree with your actual
objectives, but you haven’t fooled me.
That your organization was founded by Michael Bloomberg, who
criminalized the sale of sodas of a certain size, is telling. It is
impossible to believe such a man is really concerned with the
protections afforded by our Constitution.
