If only the antis had more than astroturf<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Manhattan State Senator Liz Krueger<\/a> today laid out a novel strategy to undermine opposition to new restrictions on firearms\u2014having gun control supporters join the pro-gun National Rifle Association<\/a> and act as a Trojan horse … \u201cI might propose another cultural approach: all of us who actually care about gun violence might want to join the NRA, and create our own forum within the NRA to say \u2018we don\u2019t agree with their current policy,’\u201d she said … \u201cI actually think we outnumber them, by the way. And if, maybe if we all join, and created our own platform, we could switch the dialogue, even within an organization who I think has done so much harm,\u201d she said …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Krueger has never expressed any interest in having a dialogue about New York’s gun laws during her time in Albany.<\/p>\n

Soon after she was first elected, she hooked up with then Senator Eric Schneiderman<\/a> and I always had the impression she was jonesing for a leadership position.\u00a0 Reading this article reminded me that she is not bright enough for that.<\/p>\n
