Despite the heavy Democrat enrollment advantage, the race to fill Anthony Weiner’s Congressional seat<\/a> is quite close according to the latest poll<\/a> with Democrat David Weprin<\/a> leading Republican Bob Turner<\/a> by 6%.<\/p>\n

On RKBA issues, Turner is an unknown. \u00a0His main attract is that he is not Weprin, who earned an F<\/strong> based upon his record in both the Clown Council<\/a> and State Assembly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The one time Weprin tried taking up the gun issue was when he was in the Clown Council and wanted to prohibit toy guns<\/a> on the grounds that criminals paint them black and use them to commit crimes. \u00a0Weprin felt the need to do some grandstanding and called a press conference. \u00a0Not content to simply stand there and bullshit the media about an issue nobody cares about, Weprin decided a live action demonstration was in order. \u00a0He had hidden a fully loaded water pistol down the front of his pants. \u00a0At the appropriate time it was his intention to pull it out, dramatically proving his point.<\/p>\n

Problem was the gun had gotten caught up with his gentleman’s sausage. \u00a0When he reached in to pull the toy out, it discharged it’s load of H2O down the front of his pants in full view of the assembled media. \u00a0Any normal person would have been embarrassed, but Weprin comes from a family of professional politicians and kept right on going. \u00a0He even reintroduced the bill the next year, although he decided to forgo with the theatrics.<\/p>\n

Weprin is a career politician who got in based upon his father’s name<\/a> and has pretty much coasted along without doing much of anything important. \u00a0He doesn’t even live in the district. \u00a0If elected he’ll reliably vote antigun, although I doubt he’d be at the forefront of the issue.<\/p>\n
