Billionaire gun control kingpin and former failed Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg knows a thing or two about losing elections.

A new study confirms Massachusetts gun control laws achieved “no effect” on reducing violent crime even though legislators promised they would. Politicians earn support by promising constituents they’ll focus on a few key issues and delivering results.

They say “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” That seems to be the case with the White House’s announcement of executive actions to prevent suicides since they are what is already being done voluntarily by the firearm industry.
