Michael Bloombergâs anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, is working to recruit new members across the country after suffering nearly two-dozen losses in municipal elections across the country last year.
Among those who have received a membership solicitation is David Lockhart, mayor of Forest Park, a small Georgia city just south of Atlanta.
In the email solicitation, Cyrus Garrett, coalition coordinator for the anti-gun group, stated that its âmembers are united in their belief that support for the Second Amendment goes hand-in hand with keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and other dangerous people.â
Mayors Against Illegal Guns promised Lockhart âa national voice on this issue and others,â adding that it will also give him âan opportunity to meet and learn from other mayors and policymakers.â
Lockhart, who was elected last year, was unimpressed. The Forest Park mayor didnât just decline the invitation, he ripped the anti-gun group and its founder.
