Former Assemblyman David Koon<\/a>, who was defeated in the ’10 elections, announced he’s running again<\/a> this fall:<\/p>\n

“… Koon entered politics after his teenage daughter, Jennifer, was abducted in 1993 from a suburban Rochester parking lot and murdered. \u00a0The horrific incident led Koon to be a national advocate for improved 911 service, particularly for cell phones …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s not what he was best known for. \u00a0He was a flaming antigunner and sponsor\/co-sponsor of just about every antigun bill introduced in the Assembly<\/a> and would happily advocate for them on the floor whenever one came up for a vote. \u00a0He stops just short of being as detestable as Michelle Schimel<\/a> (her voice gives her the edge.)<\/p>\n
