Is Foley a gun grabbing RINO?
Yep. He's anti-gun, pro-abortion, pro-cap-and-trade, pro-gay marriage, etc. He supports raising the minimum wage, etc. In most of the country, he'd be too liberal for the Democrat Party. He's the definition of a country club Republican.
A gray area.
He said, in regards to Connecticut's extreme anti-2A law: "If the legislature handed me a repeal provision of that bill, I would sign it,” Foley said Wednesday night. “That’s not saying I would seek repeal of the bill.” That doesn't say much in a DEM controlled state congress.
He has the support of the CCDL (Connecticut Citizens Defense League), but I think it is because the democrat challenger, Malloy, is an extremist gun grabber.
I have reason to believe that he wouldn't enforce the extreme anti-2A law that Malloy enacted. But he won't repeal it either.
There is another candidate running (Visconti) who would actively seek to repeal the law. But Visconti doesn't stand a chance.
