Being glad that a Dem senator is not a gun grabber is a problem why exactly? The premise in your question is wrong.
Cite:Newly appointed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand defended her position on gun rights when she talked to reporters today, saying she and her family come from a long line of hunters. She said she wants to rid the streets of illegal guns, but that hunters should have rights too. “I grew up in a hunting family. I grew up here in upstate New York,” she said. “My mom is probably the best shot in my family. My brother hunts, my dad hunts. In upstate New York, we typically shoot the Thanksgiving turkey. So that’s what we do. “And so I’ve always wanted to protect the hunters’ rights because they are such an important part of our culture.”

Tell me how exactly somebody who wants to rid the streets of "illegal guns" and somebody who thinks the second amendment is about "hunter's rights" isn't a gun grabber.
As I said, too many on this board were praising this liberal, Gillabrand...and still do.
