Here is a puzzler for Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City: What two things do all 15 of these mayors (and former mayors) have in common?
Mayor Patricia Christensen – Port St. Lucie, Florida [1]
Mayor Will Wynn – Austin,
Texas
Mayor Sheila Dixon – Baltimore, Maryland
Mayor Eddie Perez – Hartford, Connecticut [1]
Mayor Gary Becker – Racine, Wisconsin [2]
Mayor April Capone Almon – East Haven, Connecticut
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick – Detroit, Michigan
Mayor Delle Donna – Guttenberg, New Jersey [3]
Mayor Roosevelt F. Dorn, Inglewood, California [4]

Mississippi

Mayor Adam Bradley, White Plains, New York [6]
Mayor Ray Nagin, New Orleans, Louisiana [7]
Mayor Jeremiah Healy – Jersey City, New Jersey [8]
Mayor Larry Langford – Birmingham, Alabama [9]
Answer: They are all criminals, and they are all members (or former members) of your "crime fighting" organization [10].
Note to Mayor Bloomberg: Instead of background checks on gun buyers, you ought to lobby for background checks on mayors. But "Mayors Against Illegal Mayors" doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it?
