Rumor has it that Patterson is considering a pro-gun state senator to replace Hillary Clinton in the US Senate:
However, Gillibrand, a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, is still on the radar screen, and that worries Jackie Hilly, NYAGV’s executive director.
“I don’t think she represents most New Yorkers on gun-control issues,” Hilly said Wednesday.
Gillibrand, a Democrat who easily won a second term last year, has received an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, which opposes many gun-control measures. Hilly said the rating shows Gillibrand is out of step with most New Yorkers.
I think she represents far more New Yorkers than you do, Jackie Hilly. I’m willing to bet the number of NRA members in New York State far exceeds the members of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.
Oh that would be delicious medicine.
I only wish that gun control was the only thing wrong with that state. Unfortunately it’s only the first item in a very long list of reasons that I haven’t gone back there.
Nice call– FoxNews is reporting that Paterson is indeed picking Gillibrand!
Along with the horsecrap with the possible choice of Kennedy, I’d imagine the governor had been getting a lot of calls/letters from people saying “We Don’t Want Her as Our Senator”, and he decided to listen.
