Yet another reminder for Republicans: Voting for gun control crap like Sue Serino did with “red flag” does not prevent gun control advocates from endorsing your opponent in the general election.

All about guns, legislation and politics in New York
Yet another reminder for Republicans: Voting for gun control crap like Sue Serino did with “red flag” does not prevent gun control advocates from endorsing your opponent in the general election.

Why did someone bother to do this in a county where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans about 6 to 1 in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans about 2.3 to 1?

Nate McMurray is a loud and proud gun control advocate running for Congress in CD-27.
The Buffalo News writes:
“Nate McMurray approaches his third election night as a congressional candidate as the same proud progressive who lost his first two such campaigns … He’s a gun control supporter who has challenged, rather than placated, the gun owners of rural Western New York … McMurray explained that while he’s been engaged in an ongoing Twitter battle with gun rights supporters, he’s been around guns his whole life and knows a lot about them. Knowing what he knows, McMurray said the sale of new assault weapons should be banned; he says they are dangerous and unnecessary. He said background checks should be expanded to cover gun shows, and Congress should strip gun manufacturers of their liability immunity …”
Hopefully after three strikes he’s out.

A follow-up story to the fake mailing a couple weeks ago is in today’s Buffalo News, “Niagara GOP chair calls for probe of ‘dirty pool’ political mail“:
“Niagara County Republican Chairman Richard L. Andres Jr. called Monday for an investigation into a seemingly bogus letter, sent to voters before the June 23 primary for county judge. The letter, from a group called the Coalition for Safe Schools, supported tough gun control laws and endorsed the GOP-backed Caroline A. Wojtaszek for county judge on that basis. But Andres said the letter was sent to GOP and Conservative voters most likely to oppose gun regulation, in an apparent attempt to tarnish Wojtaszek with them …”
I’m curious to know who was behind the mailing as well. Obviously it was someone opposed to Wojtaszek, but I’m interested in why they choose gun control instead of some other issue.
