LI elected Carolyn McCarthy, a rabid gun and freedom hater, by large majority based solely on her campaign to do away with the 2nd Amendment rights of the rest of the country. If this doesn't give you a hint as to how they'd go I'm not sure what would.
At the time, she claimed that she wasnt a one issue person. That she cared about all the other issues besides the gun issue (not that I believed her)
The very first time she ran, she claimed to have been a Republican and the reason she was running on the Democrat ticket instead of the Republican ticket was for one reason: The gun issue. She didnt like the Republican stance on the guns issue. She agreed with the Republicans on all other issues except that one. A couple weeks later I saw her on tv giving another speech about how the big bad Republicans wanted to cut and destroy medicare and social security, etc. A whole lot of hot air using words and catchphrases that were right out of the old DNC handbook of propaganda.
It leaned conservative when I lived there.
