I just received a robocall from NRA for Will Truitt.
This is definitely a winnable race. DACC dumped roughly $250,000 on incumbent Assemblywoman Didi Barrett.

Takeaways from LWV gubernatorial debate
The League of Women Voters held a gubernatorial debate yesterday which the incumbent blew off.
The Daily News reports:
“… Each of the four candidates also made it clear they have little interest in reviving a part of Cuomo’s SAFE Act gun control law that has yet to be implemented — the creation of an ammunition database by state police …”
From Twitter:
Sharpe: No need for a “red flag” law (reporting a student believed to be a threat). Says would turn teachers into a “secret state police.” Some background: https://t.co/5tCf9eXbNE #nygovdebate

.@sarbetter on whether candidates support a red flag law to take firearms away from those who may put themselves at risk. I support as long as due process is first & foremost. We have a lack of civil dialogue/partisanship around guns and our conversation has to be more inclusive.

In a ? about gun violence, @HowieHawkins says need to address root cause (poverty) and stop “sending young men” to war “for oil.” #nygovdebate

Marc Molinaro says he would not work to implement a state database for ammunition sales. It was part of the SAFE Act but Cuomo cut a deal with the Senate GOP to keep it from moving forward after State Police struggled to launch it for several years.

The ammunition database is not a priority. #NYSAFE act was done in the dead of night w/out debate and it was a huge disservice to the State. We need to look at this as a complicated problem that needs all of us to talk together. #LWVNYDebate #VoteMiner

Sharpe, in same question, denounces the NY gun control law known as the “Safe Act” and makes the claim that “people are leaving our state b/c of this.” #nygovdebate
