Mayors Leave Bloomberg Gun Control Group

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns “is finding it hard to keep its membership up, thanks to dozens of resignations and lost elections over the last few months,” BuzzFeed reports.

“Worse for Bloomberg, who has become one of the faces of the gun control movement: the people replacing his lost comrades aren’t particularly eager to sign up with the organization, a rare group battling in the trenches against the well-organized and deep-pocketed National Rifle Association. Some appear not quite to have signed on for that level of political heat.”
