Thanks to TFA Member, Jim Williams, for bringing this to our attention.

NYC Mayor, Michael Bloomberg’s Illegal Mayors Against Guns:

the group that Memphis Mayor, A.C. Wharton, is a member of, and Gubernatorial Candidate and Knoxville Mayor, Bill Haslam, recently was, until he decided to run for governor, says:

“ATF agents at gun shows should "develop undercover integrity tests" to determine whether felons or out-of-state residents are making illegal purchases.”

Then they should turn themselves in. Bloomberg is shown here admitting to straw purchases, made under his orders, and video of his employees making the straw purchases, a federal felony:

“There were no plans for public release of the document, which was distributed to key members of Obama's administration and agencies affected by the recommendations.”

Among the wish list of these gun grabbers is enforcement of a ban on “non-sporting purpose firearms” (Pg. 8, section VI, line 38 and Pg. 33 section VI, A). Besides the fact that our God given right to protection has nothing to do with sport; just who will determine what is, and is not, “non-sporting”? Bloomberg, Obama?

They also support the Department of Homeland Security requiring the use of the national “REAL ID” act, to purchase a gun. (Pg. 11, sec. B) Papers comrade?

It goes on and on…

The good news is that the more these radical statist show us their true intentions, the more Americans wake up. The “Justice Dept.” is deaf to gun owners under the current administration, however, our federal legislators should demand that the double standard for this outlaw, anti-civil rights mayors group cease and they be held accountable for their actions.

Additionally, any tax-payer’s funding they may be receiving should be stopped and repaid against the massive debt being saddled on Americans. This should all be achievable after the next federal election, if we stay involved and vigilant.

In Liberty,

Bloomberg to Obama: Get Going on Taking Guns Away

Author: GR Staff
March 25, 2010

(Gunreports.com)--A report from a national coalition of mayors urges President Obama to adopt dozens of gun registration and confiscation measures, including the creation of a federal interstate firearms trafficking unit.

After months of waiting in vain for gun control supporters in Congress to take aggressive action against semi-automatic firearms, gun shows and NRA-supported restrictions on the abuse of instant background check records and firearm trace information, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is urging President Obama to make 40 changes to federal gun law interpretation and enforcement on his own-without congressional approval.

Bloomberg conveyed his recommendations to the president through the euphemistically named anti-gun coalition he heads, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the NRA reports.

Titled "A Blueprint for Federal Action" and released only in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act, the 51-page Bloomberg battle plan takes another cue from the military in calling for its mission to be carried out jointly by seven federal departments and agencies: the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security, the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The first six agencies are wholly under President Obama's command, while the CPSC is an independent agency headed by commissioners nominated by the president.

The "Blueprint for Federal Action," a copy of which was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, presents 40 recommendations that would dramatically curtail firearms freedoms.

The proposed changes could be accomplished within existing laws through agency reforms, regulatory moves and better funding, the report said. The strategies grew out of academic and government research, an analysis of firearms prosecutions and talks with government and law enforcement officials.

"The mayor's coalition created this document for policy discussion," said Jason Post, a spokesman for Bloomberg's office. There were no plans for public release of the document, which was distributed to key members of Obama's administration and agencies affected by the recommendations.

The 51-page document suggests a handful of strategies that would tighten ATF oversight of thousands of gun shows held annually. The study noted that a 2007 inspector general's probe concluded the "ATF does not have a formal gun show enforcement program."

ATF agents at gun shows should "develop undercover integrity tests" to determine whether felons or out-of-state residents are making illegal purchases.

The report also calls for a better approach to crime gun tracing, the process that tracks a seized weapon back to its first retail sale. The ATF lacks the structure or resources to "fully realize its power," the report says, and information is not regularly shared with field offices, and state and local law enforcement.
To this end, the study wants ATF to be funded to create a new "Office of Tactical Trace Analysis," which would replace the current crime gun analysis branch.

This would just add fuel to the fire...many are already upset about healthcare. Government on an out-of-control power trip. Here's to hoping vengeance comes at the polls.

I have a very good feeling about the November election and in an ironic way, everything Obama and his radicals are doing to push their agenda is likely only going to make the election an even bigger defeat for them than they could imagine.

That said, how much damage can they do in the meantime and will any potentially newly elected (hopefully conservative) candidates actually be able to not just stop the plunge over the cliff but repeal/significantly alter some of Obama's agenda (like the ridiculous Health Care Reform Act)...some in the Republican power structure are already trying to distance themselves from the conservative grown swell they see in the Tea Party movement; saying that running on a platform of overturning the Health Care Reform Act my be a losing issue by November.

Interested to see what the McDonald v. Chicago opinion will generate. I suspect that if the Second is incorporated, there will be a flurry of activity around guns that will polarize the elections. Will be a case of choose, for or against. If it is not incorporated, there will be a backlash and outcry from the Constitutionally oriented.

I see the Second Amendment as a major issue in West TN, choosing up sides already.

Great points all!
