David Weprin<\/a> tries raising the gun issue. \u00a0The Queens Chronicle reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“…. The democratic candidate also highlighted his stances on gun control and abortion rights. \u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve been a strong advocate on gun control,\u201d<\/strong> Weprin said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of national bills that would really prevent illegal weapons.\u201d\u00a0…”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With a Sienna poll<\/a> showing a close race between Weprin and Republican Bob Turner<\/a> despite the 3-1 Democrat enrollment advantage, why he feels the need to bring up is unclear especially given his past history<\/a> of antigun advocacy. \u00a0The campaign must be worried that he could lose. \u00a0A new GOP poll shows both candidates tied at 42% apiece<\/a>. \u00a0I would guess the Democrats have done internal polling and gotten similar results.<\/p>\n
