Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

The Associated Press reports on the Brady endorsement of Sen. Gillibrand.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence notes Gillibrand had been an NRA favorite when she was an upstate congresswoman in a Republican district. But the group says in less than two years as an appointed U.S. senator she has become a leader in sensible gun laws.

Now how did that happen? Did the NRA have it wrong before? How could that be, they base their rating on the voting record, don't they? Did Gillibrand change? Was changing part of the deal, in order for her to take Clinton's place she had to change her gun stance?

What do your think? Please leave a comment.

    Did you miss all of the news articles? Yes she did change her stance after she was told the party was going to support Carolyn "shoulder thing that goes up" McCarthy in the primary if she did not.

  2. I always knew she was a Quisling. Hell, she's from New York. When is the last time you saw a pro-gun politician in New York?

  3. You always knew, AztecRed? But she fooled the NRA judges completely, huh?

    I don't think you meant any of that. I think you just wanted to drop one of the favorite pro-gun 50-cent words. You should have combined it with "draconian" somehow.
