States United to Prevent Gun Violence is the mothership of all state level Ceasefire organizations (Examples are WAVE Fund Wisconsin, Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence (in which he’s a consultant for), CeasefirePA, the Virgina Center For Public safety, Washington Ceasefir, etc). His wife/partner is the current PRESIDENT of the main organization

So former ATF agent Mark consults for gun control orgs and his significant other is the president of one. WOW!
