Meet Mark Glaze, the former executive director and face of Michael Bloomberg's Everytown For Gun Safety, a group that used to be called Mayors Against Illegal Guns [MAIG]. Whenever a mass shooting occurs (which despite popular belief and hysteria from the media, isn't happening more frequently than it used to), Glaze takes to the airwaves to demand new gun control legislation, specifically expanded background checks.
As of Friday, Glaze left his post with MAIG Everytown and is admitting in an exit interview with the Wall Street Journal that the proposals outlined by the gun control group and sent to Congress, would not have prevented mass shootings in the past and won't stop them in the future.

However, “sensible” and “common sense” legislation on “a woman’s right to choose” could prevent the murders of millions of American children each year. Then, Barry and the ‘RATS wouldn’t have to bus “children” in from Guatemala.
It’s not about guns or shootings or murder or mayhem; it never has been. It’s about control.
What if Bloomberg said "drunk driving by underage teens are killing too many children, so we need common sense reforms to more highly regulate bars and taverns."?
Same difference.
You forget. Bars and taverns weren’t designed to kill but guns were. Ergo, guns evil.
And scary. Guns are very scary.
Yes, but gun control was never and is never about stopping crime. It's about disarming and rendering defenseless the citizenry, so that a tyrannical police state can be imposed without risk to the tyrans or their JBTs.
They know their proposals don’t do far enough. Watch: next they’ll be talking confiscation. Obama already is (praising Australia). The Abramski ruling yesterday can be used as a tool in the next step toward that.
