I’ve been looking for an image of Mayor Bloomberg’s gun death truck all day. And here it is. “The truck will tour the country for two months in an attempt to make people aware of the dangers of illegal guns,” gothamist.com reports. “It will include events with mayors, law enforcement officials, gun violence victims, and faith leaders who will all come together to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.” Yes, yes, but this is the wrong side! According to the AP (and backed up by Bloomie), “The truck features a clock that will toll the number of Americans killed with guns since the Jan. 8 shootings in Tucson, Arizona, that killed six people.” Time to get another [taxpayer-funded] PR person.
