Bloomberg Gun-Control Group Facing Internal Backlash Amid Growing Profile

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is losing part of his arsenal of local leaders as more and more long-time members of his gun-control group Mayors Against Illegal Guns say they aren’t happy with the coalition’s trajectory and want out.

While the group apparently is growing in membership overall amid an effort to assume a larger profile in the national gun debate, it's turning some members off. In the past five months, 50 members of the group have quit. Many say they did so because the organization abandoned its mission statement of going after illegal guns, and instead used its political clout to go after lawmakers who supported gun rights.

Most recently, the mayors of Rockford, Ill., and Nashua, N.H., dropped out after saying they felt misled by Bloomberg.

    The Rosie O'Donnell syndrome they don't want you to have a firearm while they are adequately protected by them. Nothing more than communist liberals against constitutional libertarians.

    Misled? He only wants to control every aspect of New Yorker's lives (not to mention presidential hopes, God help us all). And how come nobody ever mentions him as one of those "evil one percenters"? He is worth about 22 billion...
