Gun-Control Mayors - Updated

A group of 450 mayors nationwide, calling themselves Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), has sent 40 recommendations to President Obama to make gun control a federal priority.

Led by Boston Mayor Menino (D) and New York Mayor Bloomberg (RINO), the MAIG wants undercover criminal investigations at gun shows, enhanced crime gun tracing, new law enforcement organizations (the "Office of Tactical Trace Analysis" and the "Interstate Firearms Trafficking Unit") and a requirement for a "hidden serial number" to be placed on all guns during manufacture.

Sadly, it's not illogical to speculate that organized criminal enterprises are funneling money into gun control campaigns.
