I got to know Tom well as we worked together to keep cities safe from gun violence. In 2006, we formed Mayors Against Illegal Guns &#8212; and what began as a meeting of 15 mayors ultimately became a coalition of more than 1,000 mayors from around the country.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Whether it was tackling illegal guns or reviving neighborhoods, Tom was never afraid to take on tough issues. He cared deeply about the people of Boston, and he was tireless in making his city a better place to live and work. Tom was at his best when his city needed him most. In the aftermath of the Marathon bombing last year, he was steady as always, showing the same determined leadership that made his career in public service one of Boston\u2019s most important and most influential.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;My thoughts and prayers are with Tom\u2019s wife Angela, their children and family, and their many friends in Boston and beyond.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/46253290\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"co-founder-mayors-illegal-guns-dies\" title=\"Co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Dies\">After Colorado Rampage, Menino Calls for Gun Controls<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/user2045560\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"co-founder-mayors-illegal-guns-dies\" title=\"Co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Dies\">Chris Lovett<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"co-founder-mayors-illegal-guns-dies\" title=\"Co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Dies\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Boston mayor and co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Thomas Menino died Thursday morning at the age of 71.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":26554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,261,216],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-police-state","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Dies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Former Boston mayor and co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Thomas Menino died Thursday morning at the age of 71.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/co-founder-mayors-illegal-guns-dies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Dies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Former Boston mayor and co-founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Thomas Menino died Thursday morning at the age of 71.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/co-founder-mayors-illegal-guns-dies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-10-30T18:10:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T03:48:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Menino.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
