Fort Wayne Mayor Joins Anti Gun Coalition

[TheGhostRider]

Congratulations Fort Wayne....
Mayor Henry has brought another spot light onto the City.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns - Coalition Members

FYI: I heard this on the Pat White show hosted by WOWO 1190 am

that sucks.

and i thought he was a good guy......

 

[El Cazador]

That's starting to be a trend. What's the deal up there?

Its the liberal crap in the rivers that they are drinking. Need to install purified drinking fountains in the city county building.

There have been several mayors who have left this "coalition"... I guess that's the latest term for a conspiracy to destroy the Constitution of the United States... Most who have done so cited as their reason the fact that Bloomberg's stated purpose and the actual goals of the group are not the same thing.

Perhaps a letter-writing campaign from his constituents would change his mind.

Blessings,
Bill

Got a notice from the NRA that the mayor of Columbus, Fred Armstrong has joined MAIG. Anyone in Columbus, Bartholomew county should contact him and ask that he rethink his decision.

 

[Paco Bedejo]

I'll bet Rusty York is quite happy. Most everyone I know here in the Fort likes guns...of course I don't hang out at Starbucks writing my blog.

 

[No Time to Shoot]

I bet his family is oh so thrilled! A lot of them are hunters and gun owners! I don't think he will be reelected.

Mayor Fred Armstrong of Columbus is also in hot water with his towns people over this.

Bill,

Will you PM me a list of who you heard has left the coalition, please?

 

[Bill of Rights]

Bill,

Will you PM me a list of who you heard has left the coalition, please?

It's been a long time since I heard about it, I just remember it happening several times. I'll look and see who I can find and let you know, though.

Blessings,
Bill

Brainard, in Carmel, for one, a few years ago.

Thanks, Carmel.

BTS, I found this Wiki page that lists seven (it appears to be out of date) and also lists several current members who have been embarrassed by indictments, convictions, and scandals.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I also found:
Bill Haslam of Knoxville, TN
Marlene Anielski of Walton Hills, OH
Bill White of Houston, TX

Admittedly, they currently boast 450 mayors nationwide, so 10 or so is not even a drop in the bucket, but the list of scandals and indictments, to say nothing of convictions, should show the hypocrisy of many of them.

(and that doesn't even touch on the hypocrisy of a mayor like Daley having armed guards around him, but denying good people of the city he "leads" (rules) even the right to legally defend themselves.)

I know you asked for this via PM, but I figured everyone else would like to see it, too.

Blessings,
Bill

does anyone have a way to contact mayor henry? I'd like to write an email to him. Fort wayne is a leftist crap hole anyways....this town is full of crime.....and people who carry firearms for protection are looked down upon....its a legacy set forth by one of the former mayors and brady bill leader Paul Helmke.......

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

Bill and Carmel,

Thank you for the information and it is fine that you posted it here. I thought maybe you would be more interested in sending the info in private, but here works perfectly well.

I contacted Mayor Henry's office again today to try to schedule an appointment with him, but I am not holding my breath after several failures of the Mayor to return a telephone call or letter.

 

[Doobie]

Mayor Henry contact info

Got the following info to contact Mayor Tom Henry from the NRA:

Telephone: 260-427-1111

email: mayor@cityoffortwayne.org

I wrote him and all those in Fort Wayne should too. Let him know we will remember him at the ballot box.

Don't even get me started on this little twit....
Never trust a politician, especially one who's lip never move's while he talks.


FYI: Sheriff Ken Fries is on public record for saying "An armed society is a polite society". I believe that Sheriff Fries is one of the good guy's.

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

I'll second that opinion.

An unfortunate situation I must say! However... would it be fair to say that the populace let it happen?
I mean no disrespect whatsoever but I am curious as to what the general consensus amongst your fellow country men is as well as what your plans are to fix the problem.

Not that we here in the U.S. are doing any better at protecting our gun rights...
One thing is for sure...
Protests don't do much nor do armchair commandos thumping their chest while bleeting into a bullhorn and carrying signs.

This pussified method will get us exactly what we deserve...
Nothing.
Except stricter laws or an outright ban.
