Since its creation, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG) has signed up a large number of committed anti-gun politicians to its ranks. It has also signed up some politicians who failed to realize the true anti-gun nature of MAIG. A number of those mayors have resigned their membership when they learned the truth.
This past week, yet another mayor, Village of Walton Hills, Ohio Mayor Marlene Anielski (R), has resigned her membership. Mayor Anielski informed the Buckeye Firearms Association of her decision, reporting that she had not realized the real agenda of MAIG. In fact, she reported, she and her husband are NRA life members!
With the ongoing effort by MAIG to mislead the public and even its own members on its true agenda, it is no surprise that some mayors are choosing to leave the group. How many more mayors don\’t know what MAIG is really all about?
All NRA members should ask: Is my mayor a member of MAIG? If you do not know, check the list here.
If your mayor is on the list, contact his or her office and politely let him or her know you are opposed to his or her membership in Mayor Bloomberg\’s radical anti-gun organization.

A few minutes later the father heard a blood-curdling scream. And ran back to his son. \”What\’s wrong?\” the father asked. \”I told you to be quiet.\”
The boy, bless his heart, answered; \”Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet. I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck. I didn\’t move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me. I didn\’t cough when I swallowed the gnat . . . I didn\’t cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching.
But when the two chipmunks crawled up my pant legs and said, \’Should we eat them here or take them with us?\’ Well, I guess I just panicked . . .
