Buckeye Firearms Association
As a growing number of mayors in Ohio and around the country resign from Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's gun control group, new evidence suggests some of their names have been added to the member list and used to promote Bloomberg's political agenda without their knowledge or permission.
"Mayor Robert Shiner" (Mentor, OH) was listed in a letter from MAIG to Congress in June 2009 opposing reforms to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), as well as in a full page advertisement opposing nationwide reciprocity of concealed handgun licenses.
Mayor Keith Hoffman (East Berlin) said his participation, which began about a month ago, resulted from a misunderstanding of the group's objectives, and he is currently trying to get his name off the list. "It was a mistake really," he said. "They swindle you in and then put your name on the list."
Mayor Dale Strasser (Brunswick, OH) found his name used in MAIG advertising when it was actually the Brunswick city manager, Robert Zienkowski, who signed up for the group.
According to the NRA, at least 28 other mayors have appeared on the MAIG membership list despite the fact they were not mayors of the localities as advertised:
Matthew J. Avara - Pascagoula, Mississippi
Jean M. Benson - Palm Desert, California
Cary Bozeman - Bremerton, Washington

Richard H. Hyde - Waukegan, Illinois
Jack Killion - Pennsauken, New Jersey
Joseph S. Kroll - Haverhill, Florida
Eugene Kulick - Little Falls, New Jersey
Raymond F. Marin - North Miami Beach, Florida
Bruce Malcolm - Fernandina Beach, Florida
Lorraine H. Morton - Evanston, Illinois
Rita L. Mullins - Palatine, Illinois
