More fallout in CD-9. The Queens Chronicle reports, “Upset! Republican Turner wins congressional seat“:
“… [David Weprin] tried to paint [Bob Turner] as a radical Tea Party Republican whose views are out of line with the people of the district … Turner also backs Second Amendment gun rights, while Weprin is pro-gun control …”
This is the first media statement I have seen calling Turner pro-gun. I’ll believe it if he votes for H.R. 822.
As for Weprin, what did the Brady’s/NYAGV do for their man? Nothing.
Anyone know if Turner is pro 2A?
I was told he is, but he has not made any public statements I’m aware of.
You have to realize that if an elected official doesn’t goosestep to the march of gun control, than said elected official is considered ‘pro gun’, regardless of his/her actual views on guns.
This is what happens in NJ.
