Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino<\/a> continued to defend gun shows at a town hall meeting<\/a> in White Plains yesterday:<\/p>\n

“… Astorino defended vetoing county legislation that would have banned gun shows on county property, like one recently held at the County Center in White Plains<\/a>. He said the gun show’s attendees were unfairly stigmatized …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good for him.<\/p>\n

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Republicans could learn a lot from Astorino (and Lee Zeldin<\/a>) on how to handle gun issues in the NYC suburbs. They need to stop paying attention to their crap internal polling and see how the public acts and<\/span> votes on the issue.<\/p>\n
