Following up on Chris Jacobs’ recent stunt<\/a>, here is a brief position statemen<\/a>t from one of the two declared Democrat candidates for the open seat in CD-27<\/a>, Melodie Baker<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Raised in rural Texas and then moving to Buffalo with her family at a young age has had an impact on how Baker views a number of issues – including guns. Her letter to Chairman Zellner<\/a> says she learned to shoot a 12-gauge gun before she was a teenager, and she tells Carter her family has used guns for generations to hunt meals. Baker supports the second amendment<\/a> and the use of guns as tools, she says, but does not support their use as weapons. \u201cI certainly think people who have a history of violence and mental health instability, need to definitely not have those guns and even the type of guns \u2014 AK-47s do not belong on the street …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like she’s pandering to the Fudds while supporting the gun ban agenda.<\/p>\n

As for the other candidate Nate McMurray<\/a>, he appears to have the support of the Brady’s<\/a> in spite of making some questionable remarks<\/a> to his political opposition.<\/p>\n
