SAF ASKS FOR ALL BLOOMBERG-MAIG
RECORDS FROM NYC AFTER REVELATIONS


BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation today has filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request with the City of New York for all records relating to Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, after newspaper allegations that city resources have been used for MAIG’s gun control efforts.

SAF is being joined in the request by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and Tom Gresham, host of the nationally-syndicated “Gun Talk.”

“It was bad enough to learn via CBS News that the MAIG website was being hosted on a city-owned server, and administered by city employees,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “but it also appears that a special counselor in the mayor’s office was sent to lobby in Nevada on behalf of MAIG’s gun control agenda.”

The New York Post and Politico both published reports that Mayor Bloomberg sent Christopher Kocher to Nevada, and that in an apparent attempt to conceal who he worked for, Kocher “scrubbed his City Hall e-mail address from the state of Nevada lobbying-registration Web site early this month.”

“The public has a right to know what’s been going on between Bloomberg, the city and MAIG,” Gottlieb explained. “Gun control is Bloomberg’s pet peeve, and he’s been pushing an anti-gun agenda since sending so-called private investigators on a sting operation to gun shops all over the country, which got him in trouble with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.”

“There certainly appears to be a serious problem in Bloomberg’s administration,” Gresham added. “Evidently, the mayor and his staff have a gross misunderstanding of how the taxpayers’ money should be spent, and that should not include sending New York employees around the country to lobby for Bloomberg’s pet projects.”

The request was filed by SAF Special Projects Director Philip Watson, for the following information:

1. All electronic records related to Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the website MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org, including, but not limited to:
a. All electronic files saved on city servers
b. All Emails to or from users at the domain MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org
c. All current and former employees, officials, outside contractors, and volunteers with access to the website MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org
d. All current and former Email users and usernames that have had access to send or receive Email from @MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org
2. Any and all records related to Mayors Against Illegal Guns electronic files, including, but not limited to:
a. Emails
b. Any written documents
c. Any records describing processes for cooperation with this group
d. Any records describing how received communications with this group are processed
e. All employee pay or overtime related to cooperation or time spent with this group
f. Official names, titles, and contact information of all employees, officials, outside contractors, and volunteers involved with domain hosting, creation, maintenance, and communication for MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org
g. All costs incurred by the City of New York for creation, maintenance, domain hosting, and communication for MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns.org
3. Any and all records of communication since January 1, 2002 between any city official, employee, or volunteer and any gun control advocacy organization, including, but not limited to:
a. Mayors Against Illegal Guns
b. Demand A Plan
c. Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
d. Center for Gun Policy and Research
e. Ceasefire
f. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
g. Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
h. Joyce Foundation
i. Violence Policy Center
j. Legal Community Against Violence
k. Million Mom March



“The man is obsessed,” Gottlieb continued, “and if he’s spent so much as a dime of public money on what amounts to a private crusade, Mayor Bloomberg needs to be held accountable for that.”

Gottlieb has called on New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to launch a full-scale investigation into the mayor’s potential misuse of public resources for his own private war on gun owners. He renewed that call today.

“If Eric Schneiderman won't investigate Bloomberg for possible misuse of public funds,” Gottlieb said, “we will. The mayor has been acting increasingly like a self-appointed monarch, but this still the United States, not Bloomberg’s personal fiefdom."

Good, I hope everyone involved gets egg on their face and they get shut down. Just proves how crazy and unreliable these wackos are. Everytime this happens its a piece of that sides credibility
 
The real irony is that the asshat has so much of his own money, why would he use public money- something can cannot be stupid enough to believe is legitimate and can only get him in trouble?

Although who knows, he was stupid enough to think that trying to personally bait and bust FFL's was a legitimate activity....
 
This is awesome, glad I sent them some moneys.

Dear Second Amendment Supporter,

Thank you for your generous support in the fight to uphold our U.S. Constitutional right to keep and bear arms and defend the Second Amendment.

Your contribution and/or membership dues directly fund the educational efforts and public relations programs of the Second Amendment Foundation to counter gun-ban propaganda from groups like the Brady Campaign, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and U.S. Conference of Mayors.

SAF’s legal victories in McDonald v. Chicago and Ezell v. Chicago, along with its work with attorneys in U.S. v. Heller and other landmark court cases are examples of our legal action to keep the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution intact. We currently have almost two dozen court cases pending. For a comprehensive list of current and past litigation, please go to 2ndAmendmentCourtCases.com.

On behalf of our staff and American gun rights supporters, I want to thank you. Without dedicated individuals like you, we cannot continue this fight.

Sincerely,
Alan Sig

I would think that anything on that server is public information. Wonder how much of the inner workings of his group will be exposed. Maybe we can get that NY newspaper to publish their donor list...
 
Bloomberg is an enemy of this country. His (and others) progressive BS is what is leading this country down a path which will require grave actions to fix. Bottom line.

Good on SAF.
 
party pooper disclaimer:

He will admit that he erred and reimburse the city the few thousand dollars, and all will be forgiven by the communist citizens of NY.

I want to see him hang for his acts of sending his knee breakers out to the other states and trying to prosecute people for buying/selling guns.

I like:
The mayor has been acting increasingly like a self-appointed monarch, but this still the United States, not Bloomberg’s personal fiefdom."

so true.............
 
While the NRA plays checkers, the SAF plays chess. Go get em.

Indeed! SAF is the ferocious little dog that bites whereas the NRA is the 800# gorilla that can be appeased by being given a bunch of bananas!

Very glad my Wife and I became life members of SAF a few years ago. Another donation heading there way shortly.

I'd love to see that too but sadly you are right. Just like the Big "0" they are both made of Teflon, nothing sticks.

I'm going to have to send some money their way - that's one org I haven't yet joined.

Give it time.

People as big as Bloomberg and Obama always make enemies. Sometimes you can't predict where the really big hit will come from. Look at the Snowden thing - there have been a number of people in the past who have brought up the same exact things Snowden has talked about - and it pretty much went nowhere.

I'm sure if Bloomberg is using city resources for this - then he's using city resources for all sorts of other things too. Maybe the commie citizens of NYC won't give a crap about this - but somewhere there is somebody who has looking around for something to screw Bloomberg over with. Maybe this thing gives them the crack in the armor they need to hammer in a wedge.

Obama is getting hit from all sides - if we're lucky then maybe this is the beginning of the same thing for Bloomberg.
