Another Sell Out to the Unarmed Victims?


Oh how wrong I was.


I was impressed that New York may finally be turning the corner and recognizing the Second Amendment for what it is, the right of the people to defend themselves. When Kirsten Gillibrand first took Hillary Clinton's New York senate seat, I was thrilled. Now I am merely appalled.

Senator Gillibrand has now made a rather idiotic statement in order to garner political favor among the unarmed victims in her state. Her statement, "There's a very big difference between making sure hunters can hunt in upstate New York, because it's part of our heritage and our history and the Second Amendment to our Constitution, and fighting against gun violence," is ludicrous at best.

Senator Gillibrand seems to equate the Second Amendment with hunting and not with personal safety and ones ability to protect themselves against the criminal element.

Is she a sell out or just misinformed?
