The 94’ congressional sweep by the GOP was partly a result of overreach by democRATs on guns. They will never learn.

[dynachrome]

T oge telected in New York she will need the vote and cash from the big libtard run cities. Look for her to come out in favor of AWB, “reasonable” ammo laws, etc.

[Badeye]

She’s not going to undermine her own father and brothers.

[redk]

No they will let her stay as she is on guns so that eventually, when they need her, they can claim she is a baby killing version of Palin.

[dbz77]

Especially after the gun control lobby’s reaction to the shooting deaths of Amadou Diallo, Patrick Dorismond, and Sean Bell, I find it silly to take them seriously.

[Cicero]

Indeed, we’ll see. I imagine she talks about “hunters” because it makes it easier to defend the Second Amendment to moonbats.

I gather she is pro-abortion, and otherwise qualified to be a NY Democrat. So this is the issue they are pushing her on.

Her strong point is that it’s only fair to have at least one politician representing upstate NY, which has been taxed into the ground and had its economy killed in order to support the city with the welfare benefits it is accustomed to.

[Carley]

She announced that she would work on making sure that criminals are not able to purchase guns.

She did not say that she wanted to enforce new gun restrictions on law abiding citizens.

Time will tell what she actually does in the Senate.

[Logical me]

Our rights guaranteed by the Constitution on right to bear arms is almost in the toilet. My advice, even if you have been hit by the economic problem, is sacrifice a few meals and get armed. Buy all the ammo you can. The Revolution is coming, mark my words. Communism is here and rapidly taking over our land.

[wastedyears]

Um, probably, because like, you know?

[Still Thinking]

When Republicans have stances that differ from the platform and leadership, they’re “mavericks” and “moderate” and “bi-partisan”. When a Democrat has an idea that hasn’t been cleared, it’s a “cause for concern”.

[DPMD]

I assume that, since she is no longer representing the somewhat conservative upstate New Yorkers, and is instead representing all of mostly liberal New York State, her positions will change. She will, after all, want to be reelected 10 or 15 times.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Watch her start to hedge on some of the gun issues. She was representing a solid Republican District. Now she has all of New York and a prospective Dem. primary opponent a female congreeswoman who’s husband was killed by a gun toting thug. She was a “blue dog” Democrat, but that will begin to change to win over the NYC liberals.

A CNN report had Miami mayor on and he said that he knew Biden and Biden told him the ban on *assault weapons* would be made permanent. Then CNN showed a chart that showed statistics that were pure propaganda. What they try to show is an increase in deaths from assault rifles. What they left out was that the same number of murders would have occurred, but with hand guns, shotguns, regular rifles.
A 12 gauge or a 45 magnum will do more damage than any AR15 and you don't even have to be a good shot with a 12 gauge.

[mojitojoe]

zer0 and Joe Biden supported the gun ban in D.C. and Obama voted against lifting the ban. zer0 endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership. And last, but not least, zer0 voted four times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family.

zer0 has many pals who share his perspective. Rev. Michael Pfleger has openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and pro-gun legislators. Daley, has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. Also, zer0’s bosom buddy, George Soros has put millions of dollars into the U.N. for the purpose of internationally disarming law-abiding citizens. Holder, worst gun grabber ever.
zer0 has pretended to support firearm owners and such but his attorney wrote to cable networks and TV stations demanding they do not show the NRA ad that showed his position on gun ownership. They threatened to make a complaint to the FCC if the ad ran.

It doesn't really matter much if she changes or not, or if this is just pap to placate the NYC media machine. We have the Heller decision, and there are only two ways it goes away. The first is if there are new liberal justices on the SCOTUS who are willing to set aside the stare decisis of the Heller decision, and the only new appointees Obama is likely to make would be in seats that were already in the minority on Heller.

And the other is that there is a gun-grabbing version of the Second Amendment that passes through the House, Senate, and thirty-eight state legislatures. If I were a gun-grabber, I'd count on scenario #1 happening first.
