Mayors against Illeagal Guns AKA Bloomburg
« on: October 07, 2015, 04:57:33 AM »
"Mayors have occasionally chosen to leave the coalition, but our growth has always far outpaced the number of mayors who have departed," the organization said in a statement provided to U.S. News. "We thank Mayors Morrissey and Lozeau for their time with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and we wish them all the best."

Last week the group was forced to apologize after memorializing accused Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev as a victim of gun violence during a rally in Concord, N.H. Protesters and counter-protesters clashed at the rally, which was part of MAIG's "No More Names" bus tour. As a list of gun victims was read, one counter-protester shouted "he's a terrorist!" when the Chechen immigrant's name was read.

Tsarnaev "was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read," said the group in a statement. "It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize."

He certainly was shot.
Aren't there a lot of victims of gun violence that need to be?
They still count.

Shooting Tsarnaev when he did not surred=nder was justified, so he was not a victim of undue "gun violence". But he was a victim of his own violence,

You are right.

But his death will be counted along with all the others when converted to statistics.
