This week in Washington D.C., mayors from across the country met as part of the 2007 "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" Coalition Summit.
The mayor of Sparks, Nevada, Mayor Geno Martini, Nevada's one and only member of the Coalition, has joined the anti-gun group led by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Mayor Martini added his name to the list of participants as displayed on the coalition's website found at www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/.
In an interview with a local news station, Fuhriman said, "I found there's probably a little more of an agenda coming from Mayor Bloomberg's office than I anticipated. So as I looked into it, I could see there was a conflict with the NRA and some of the beliefs we have here in Idaho."
It is important that NRA members in Northern Nevada contact Mayor Martini and let him know that New York-style gun control does not fit the views of his constituents. To contact Geno Martini, please call (775) 353-2310 or email him at [email protected].
