The River Reporter covers the debate<\/a> between 51st Senate District<\/a> candidates:<\/p>\n

“… [Sen. Peter Oberacker<\/a>] has been a concealed carry permit holder since 1986, he said: \u201cI\u2019ve never committed a crime.\u201d New York State\u2019s gun regulations took away people\u2019s second amendment rights<\/a> to prevent crimes that are being committed by criminals who would not ever follow the law. \u201cCan we get a discussion going that actually addresses the issue, but doesn\u2019t negatively impact those of us that want to exercise our second amendment<\/a> rights?\u201d Republicans had proposed a law to put school resource officers in schools to address school shootings, Oberacker said, a proposal that had been rebuffed …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The country does have a pandemic of gun violence, he said: he supports strengthened background checks and red flag laws<\/strong> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Typical antigun talking points.<\/p>\n

Support Oberacker.<\/p>\n
