Bloomberg stated that in order to defeat a pro-gun rights group, “you have to go out and get your message out and it costs money to do that.” September Bloomberg already has contributed about 2.9 million dollars to an anti-gun organization he founded in 2006, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, reported The 2009 New York Times. The group of 450 city chief executives Bloomberg started Volume XXXIV No. 9 along with Mayor Thomas M. Menino of Boston worked recently to defeat a measure by Sen. John R. Thune of South Dakota, a CCRKBA Gun Rights Defender of the Month, that would have allowed individuals with state- issued permits to carry concealed handguns to carry the firearms in other IN THIS ISSUE states that issue such permits. Although the Thune amendment garnered 58 votes out of the 100-member More Anti-Gun RIghts Actions 1 Senate, a substantial majority, it fell two votes short of the 60 votes needed CCW Reciprocity 2 Sotomayor: A Blow to RKA 3 to prevent a filibuster and thus was not added as a proposed amendment Sotomayor Vote 3 to pending legislation.

Thune’s spokesman Kyle Downey said of Bloomberg’s anti-gun ac- tivity: “The fact that a guy who rides the New York subways with armed BEAR ARMS guards can tell the rest of America that they cannot defend themselves is (a non-profit corporation) absurd.” National Headquarters: “America must oppose this,” Snyder said. “We need all the help CCRKBA 12500 N.E.
