The free-for-all Democrat primary in CD-17<\/a> looks to be a choice of who is least offensive.<\/p>\n

Adam Schleifer<\/a> steps up to the plate with this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Adam P. Schleifer, a Democratic Candidate for U.S. Congress in New York’s 17th District, unveiled his sweeping gun control plan, “STOP” (Securing Threats and Ongoing Protection). Specifically, he will support and introduce legislation to mandate universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and “red flag” laws that prevent those in mental health crises from obtaining firearms … “Now is the time to stop senseless gun deaths,” said Schleifer. “America has had enough carnage due to weapons of war flooding our streets. The COVID-19 era has seen the largest surge in background checks<\/a> in our nation’s history, while millions of illegal firearms fall through the cracks. As a federal prosecutor, I took illegal guns off the streets. As your congressman, I’ll keep illegal guns off the street. When I was in first grade, I had a loaded gun pointed at my head, and I was one of the lucky ones. Through robust, commonsense reform, I’ll work relentlessly to keep our children and citizens safe.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice how he isn’t pointing to any specific problem with the spike in gun sales. He is just upset that it occurred.<\/p>\n

What is his plan?<\/p>\n
