Now MAIG is down to 1 GOP mayor in all of New Hampshire
"Nashua Mayor no longer appears on Bloombergs gun control website"
"Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau received high praise from the usual suspects in May when she joined the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, New Yorks Mayor Michael Bloombergs embattled group. The Concord Monitor specifically called her out for approval in an editorial attacking Sen. Kelly Ayotte.
But a review conducted by NH Journal shows Mayor Lozeau no longer appears on Bloombergs website as a supporter of the organization. The MAIG database shows Dover Mayor Dean Trefethen as the only supporter from the Granite State.
The first mayor to publicly quit Bloombergs controversial group is Rockford, IL Mayor Larry Morrissey, who left the organization this weekend. Meanwhile, Dovers Trefethen is under fire from Republican State Chair Jennifer Horn for himself refusing to drop out of Bloombergs group despite the groups support for Tsarnaev and Dorner."

(6,185 posts)I guess gun control supporters are supportive of the GOP.
Lame stuff, getting lamer by the post.
Buh Bye.

BTW, before you come up with your usual snarky replies, the bill barely passed in both chambers of our legislature, the calls for Gov. Sandoval to veto it were running appox. 3-1 against signing the bill.

Also, those that poll that was conducted that said that 86% of Nevadans wanted this bill?
The Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an anti-gun violence organization created by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, released a poll in early March that found 86 percent of Nevadans support expanding gun background checks to all buyers. The poll of 800 voters was conducted Feb. 10-14 by Schoen LLC.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/sandoval-vetoes-gun-background-check-bill
False, the majority of the 800 people surveyed were in Clark County, ie: Las Vegas, which is heavily Democrat. The rest of the state, which is mostly rural, opposed this bill.
But what else are we to expect of MAIG?
You notice that only 2 LE chiefs supported this bill?
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/sandoval-vetoes-gun-background-check-bill
The rest of the state's Sheriff's opposed it.
This statement right here,
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/sandoval-vetoes-gun-background-check-bill
is pure bullshit, every gun show I've ever been to has been heavily patrolled by ATF agents and plain clothes local cops looking for just this kind of thing, criminals, as a rule, don't go where LE are to buy guns.
Even Sen. Reid D-NV, was against this bill.

Oh and one last little gem.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/sandoval-vetoes-gun-background-check-bill
This guy is wrong, Gov.Sandoval's base in the rural areas of Nevada, not the two large cities, he will, unfortunately, be re-elected again if he so chooses to run.
And before you say that it sounds like I supported the veto, I am on record here several time saying that I supported the UBC, I and my lovely wife called the Gov.'s office in support of him signing it, I talked to people in my town urging them to call in support of SB 221.
We may very well have gotten it but for the interference of outsiders, mainly MAIG/Bloomberg.
I've said time and time again, we Nevadans are fiercely independent and we don't like outsiders coming in and telling us what's good for us.

Nice try!

(3,731 posts)do you live here in NV? Do you know the mood and independence of Nevadans?
Did you follow this bill like I did? Did you talk to the people of Nevada in the rural areas?
If not, then you have no clue of what you're talking about and you have no credibility on NV. politics.
But thanks for playing and showing that you don't know what you're talking about, as usual.
rdharma
(6,057 posts)And you want to blame MAIG and not that Republican Governor responsible for that veto. Very curious!
premium
(3,731 posts)but I'll ask you one more time, do you live in Nevada? Do you know the mood and independent streak of Nevadans?
Have you EVER lived in NV.?
And, once again, this little gem.
Notice that even Sen. Reid knows that most of the support is from outsiders while most of the opposition is from Nevadans.
But, if you want to believe your own biases, and not someone who's lived here most of his life, have at it, it just makes you look like a ...., well, you fill in the blank, I wouldn't want you to alert on this post because of hurt feelings.
rdharma
(6,057 posts)But it's MAIG's fault and not the Republican Governor's veto to blame?!!!
Errr merrr gerrrd!
Yooooooou just keep believing that was the sole reason.
Still haven't answered my question.

(3,731 posts)or are you just going to go for the usual?

(3,731 posts)and all you can do is post another lie about a fellow DU member.
Thanks for admitting it so all can see.
I see you still refuse to answer my question on whether or not you live or have ever lived in NV.
Why?
rdharma
(6,057 posts)The Republican Governor (you are praising) would have vetoed the bill in any case!
It was the "Republican" thing to do!
premium
(3,731 posts)but I notice that you still won't answer the question, which leads me to believe you know jack shit about the state of Nevada and it's citizens.
My work here with you is done, thanks for playing.
BTW, don't think that everyone here can't see what your game is, to get someone to say something so you can alert and possibly get the post hidden, or get PPR'd, you're so obvious it's funny.
See post #16.

(3,731 posts)the funny thing is that he thinks we're so clueless that we can't figure out what he's attempting to do, and I just refuse to take the bait.
Oh, well, you have a great day, we're in excessive heat warning here for the next week with the temp topping out at 117 degrees on Sat.
Good thing I got my A/C serviced at the beginning of May.

(3,731 posts)guess she didn't like being challenged and refuted on her perceptions of gun owners, instead, she now posts in the "other group".

(3,731 posts)That leads me to believe that you can't prove what you accuse me of.

(3,731 posts)you say I'm lavishly praising Sandoval? Prove it, post a link to just one post where I'm praising the Gov., just one, and I'll apologize.
I'll await your link. (or not).
