Only A Clown

Two Iowa Mayors made the news for their comments at the recent U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Des Moines Mayor Frank Clownie, err Cownie said most major cities are looking for ways to curb a rise in gun violence. “The sad thing is that we are now over 6,000 homicides in the U.S. since (the school shooting in) Newtown.

Clownie needs to quit shooting off his mouth and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Among those 6,000 killed are people killed by police officers and suicides.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which I believe Clownie is a member, listed murder suspects who were killed by police and included the Boston Marathon Bomber.

Dubuque Mayor Roy Buol was impressed with a speech about gun violence delivered by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu. 

If it were a country, New Orleans (with a rate 62.1 gun murders per 100,000 people) would rank second in the world.

Sounds like Landrieu's doing a bang up job.
