From the Albany Times-Union. There is definitely a concerted effort among the New York State media establishment to shame Gillibrand out of her support for gun rights. This puts her in a difficult position. I would encourage everyone in New York, especially Republicans, to send their new Senator a note of support, expressing their appreciation for her support of the Second Amendment. The only thing that’s going to help her stand up to the media onslaught is support from her constituents.
I think that Senator Gillibrand will find that more New Yorkers are closer to Tom King’s view on her than they are to possible GOP challenger Peter King’s.
