An Open Letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Mayor Michael Bloomberg
Office of the Mayor, City Hall,
260 Broadway, NYC, NY 10007
Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
Your web site, www.MikeBloomberg.com, presents eight ways to reduce gun violence: 1 - Sign a petition. 2 - Donate to Mayors Against Illegal Gun Action Fund. 3 - Share the petition. 4 - Call President Obama and Congress. 5 - Recruit your own mayor. 6 - Spread the word on social media. 7 - Join Faith leaders, and, 8 - Write Letters to the Editor demanding action. I respectfully suggest a ninth.
The National Rifle Association’s, Exec VP, Wayne LaPierre, made it clear that he represents only the interests of gun manufacturers, gun dealers, and others who profit by saturating American society with guns. Traditional gun owners, some 70% of whom favor gun control laws, have no one to speak for them. I respectfully ask that you encourage forming a gun owner’s group that honors the traditions of the American Frontier, not the urban street gang.
I carried a weapon in WW-II, and while not now a gun owner, would gladly join the sane majority of gun owners and all Americans who long for an end to the NRA-sponsored killing plague that poisons our country.
Yours respectfully,
Stuart Hodes

A printout of the above, plus a personal letter was sent to Mayor Bloomberg on Christmas Day.
The proposed organization needs a name. Some suggestions: American Gun Owners (AGO), Traditional Gun Owners (TGO), American Traditional Gun Owners (ATGO), Good Old Gun Owners (GOGO. Great Guns (GG), Daniel Boon Society (DBS). More suggestions welcome!
If you agree that we need a group that represents gun owners instead of gun makers, send a letter of your own, or print out this page, put it in a stamped envelope, and send to:
