Another incumbent with problems back home gets Brady’s endorsement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Engel has shown that he understands the need to prevent gun violence in all of its forms. He is an essential partner in this work who is not afraid to act.\u201d Engel authored the Safe Gun Storage Act that provided more regulations for how firearms are stored, and was a co-sponsor of a bipartisan background checks bill, dedicating his vote to two people in Westchester County who were killed by gun violence …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fear created by their own ideology. <\/p>\n

Read a book. Play an instrument. Dance. Play a sport. <\/p>\n

Maybe you won\u2019t be afraid anymore. https:\/\/t.co\/EvWgox3tOM<\/a><\/p>\n
