Asking the fox to please keep a closer eye on the chickens

In reply to a comment by Patti which linked to this article on The Hill.

Patti, thanks for the link. If the (or one) intent of the Gunrunner program was to come down on the 2nd Amendment, these 600 mayors have fallen for it. Here is the list of mayors (javascript req'd). I note the vast majority of these mayors are (surprise!) from NY, Calif., Penn., & Ohio. (Nice to note, none are from good old Oklahoma.) Not to say all these mayors are anti-gun dupes. The group has a sounds-good name, "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" (what, you're going to have some mayor say he or she is for illegal guns?), and they do say they "support the Second Amendment and the rights of citizens to own guns." So, their "calling on President Obama to strengthen and increase enforcement of the nation’s gun laws in the wake of a controversial gun tracking operation that may have contributed to the death of at least one federal agent" seems perverse -- asking the fox to please keep a closer eye on the chickens.
