""The reason why I joined the group in the first place was because I took the name for what it said, against illegal guns," Morrissey said.

Morrissey said he didn't expect the organization to get involved with banning magazine clips or "assault" weapons.

"As the original mission swayed, that's when I decided it was no longer in line with my beliefs," Morrissey said.


Guess he's not rich enough to hire bodyguards and smart enough to know the police may not be there when he needs them. Kind of like most intelligent Americans.

1. Bravo Mayor Morrissey

2. I have wondered about the

entire premise of MAIG. The only illegal guns that I am aware of are those with the serial numbers defaced. Otherwise, it is the owner of a gun that is beaking the law, (illegal) not the gun.

3. I wonder how fast they'll scrub his name from their list on the web site?

As fast as the MAIG members convicted of child porn, or at the same speed as the MAIG members convicted on fraud and DUI?

Excuse me, "former MAIG members", because once they are convicted they are no longer technically members because they aren't really mayors anymore,. just inmate numbers.

4. Mayor Morrissey is one confused teabagger, eh?

OR...... is he a media savvy attention whore?

5. Strange, none of this is even mentioned at Castle BansaLot.

7. A teabagger playing to his base? What's "newworthy" about that?

Do you also like Morrissey's other RW "teabagger" positions?

8. Typical of you,

smear someone you don't agree with.

[rdharma]

10. So..... you agree with this RW "teabagger", Morrissey?

Typical of you.

[premium]

11. Typical of you

to smear anyone you don't agree with, including here.

Gotta come here to smear everyone you don't agree with?

[CokeMachine]

17. Yawn!!

You don't deserve any more than that for you flame baiting. Loveya!!!

[sarisataka]

9. Did you care that he was a tea bagger

when he was one of the 6.8 million members of MAIG?

[rdharma]

13. I never heard about him....... until he pulled his "teabagger" PR stunt. nt

It struck me as odd...... how he was first "for" then "against" MAIG.

A hypocrite and an opportunist!

Check out how he's allowing the anti-choice folks to harass/menace people entering clinics in Rockford.

Morrissey just extended a permit for a mobile ultra-sound van to park outside of a clinic. Nice, eh?

[sarisataka]

15. Sounds like MAIG was a good group for him

they have quite the history of hypocrisy and playing fast and loose with the laws.

[CokeMachine]

18. That poster is just a flame baiter!!

Don't feed the trolls!!

[sarisataka]

19. I can't help it

[CokeMachine]

20. That one is just becomming to obvious!!

It's only here to flame bait. Bong Bong was much better. Even with his racist rants!
Oh well, it's the gungeon so its type is fine!!!!

[NaturalHigh]

12. Lord Bloomberg won't be happy.

[DonP]

14. His wroth will be terrble to behold!

In his anger he will probably increase his spending against Dems he doesn't agree with.

[Eleanors38]

22. Not to mention his froth.

[Lurks Often]

23. I thought froth was banned in NYC? n/t

[ileus]

21. Now he's being progressive...

I suppose sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a willing victim.
