Another (Former) Bloomberg Mayor Facing Multitude of Charges

“Former mayor of Pa. capital charged with 499 criminal counts,” Fox News documented in its report. “If convicted on all counts and given consecutive maximum sentences, Reed could face up to 2,439 years in prison.” 
Whenever I see reports of a mayor in trouble with the law, my first instinct any more is to see if he or she is one of Bloomberg’s Bürgermeisters. [More]
I'd love to see someone with statistical expertise come up with a verifiable number for: A member of Bloomberg's Mayors Against Guns group is X times more likely to be a criminal than an NRA member.

  2. In theory, it's very simple. Take the ratio of criminal Illegal Mayors (number of criminals divided by number of total members) and divide it by the ratio of criminal NRA members.

    In practice, getting verifiably accurate numbers to divide by each other is the tricky part.

    We don't need Dr. John Lott to crunch the numbers, but unfortunately we may need his resources to get the numbers.
