Antis lame attempt at intimidation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“New Yorkers Against Gun Violence<\/a> called on Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino<\/a>, a candidate for New York governor, to explain his opposition to the New York SAFE Act when he appears today in the Bronx<\/a>. \u00a0Astorino has repeatedly criticized the landmark gun safety law, passed by a bipartisan legislature and signed by Governor Cuomo<\/a> in January 2013. \u00a0He is on record as saying that it is \u201ca bad law that accomplished nothing.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Simple. \u00a0He doesn’t want his approval ratings to drop ~25% like Andrew’s did. \u00a0Given NYAGV tried and failed<\/a> to make SAFE into a winning issue for their endorsed candidates in both the Westchester and Nassau County Executive’s races last year there is no reason for Astorino to pay any attention to them.<\/p>\n
