Former Bloomberg Ally Says ‘Mayors’ Group’s Goal Is Gun Confiscation
John Tkazyik, the mayor of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., said he quit the former New York City mayor’s group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, after he realized its objective was outright confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens.
It did not take long to realize that MAIG’s agenda was much more than ridding felons of illegal guns; that under the guise of helping mayors facing a crime and drug epidemic, MAIG intended to promote confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens. I don’t believe, never have believed and never will believe that public safety is enhanced by encroaching on our right to bear arms, and I will not be a part of any organization that does.
It seems that the membership roll of Bloomberg's MAIG automatically dwindles into two categories. Either the ex-member has been indicted and brought up on criminal charges, or the ex-member has experienced the epiphany of truth that Tkazyik articulated.
