Pastor Michael Pfleger, anti-gun extremist, promoted sideways in Chicago.

The anti-gun extremist, Pastor Michael Pfleger of Chicago, will evidently get promoted "sideways" by the Archbishop, becoming "co-pastor" where he was once pastor. He will now assist in some sort of anti-gun activities for the Catholic church. The move was supported by Mayor Rahm.

In the past, Pfleger has organized confrontational demonstrations against the only gun shop in the Chicago area, and according to some, threatened the gun dealer by saying "we will find you and snuff you out..." From Wikipedia:

"'He's the owner of Chuck's. John Riggio. R-i-g-g-i-o. We're going to find you and snuff you out… you know you're going to hide like a rat. You're going to hide but like a rat we're going to catch you and pull you out.' Pfleger later claimed his use of the phrase 'snuff you out' was misinterpreted."

Bloomberg's Superbowl gun-control ad was "regional"...

"The video, viewable below, was a regional purchase and will not be shown nationwide during the game."

There was a lot of talk about the "Superbowl" ad pitching gun-control, featuring the mayors of NYC and Boston. But the ad apparently showed in some regional market. Perhaps this was a way to avoid a backlash against the ad and the Superbowl apparatus if the political ad had aired; perhaps it was a way to avoid having to deal with another issue: Why MSM (networks still carry the game) will not post pro-2A ads, even if they are paid for.

Seems this Mayors (against illegal) Guns effort was fart in a hurricane, coming as it were from a mayor who has armed bodyguards.
