80. "calls by a group of big city mayors to improve gun safety"
That's code for "let's figure out more ways to violate the Second Amendment."

Even the NRA is smart enough not to walk into a hit piece.

If they go they'll be the token, there only so the mayors can say "It is non-partisan, even the NRA was there."
