Rumors that former Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. may make a run for Gillibrand’s senate seat in NY. Apparently, he moved there a bit back. Ford is decent on guns. Of course, Gillibrand used to be too.

So, she’s pretty much abandoned the pro-gun side now: She took law-abiding gun owners in upstate New York for a ride and tossed them into the Hudson on her way into Manhattan, Pretty much.

Top-notch and credible news source prison planet reports that Gillibrand will introduce an assault weapons next week. It’s based on this article in which McCarthy says she’ll introduce one. And by she, McCarthy means McCarthy. And McCarthy is in the house and Gillibrand is in the senate. So, don’t put too much faith in the […]

She and Schumer are calling for the repeal of federal policy requiring records of gun background checks be destroyed after 24 hours. Seek to return to the 90 day limit.

Good for her: “It’s a false debate,” she said. “It’s political rhetoric that’s sucking you in to believe that hunters owning a gun or an American citizen who wants to protect his home owning a gun somehow increases gun violence.” Asked if she owned a gun, she said, “We own two.” I think she just […]

I’ve said before that I don’t think she’s flip-flopped on the issue and that the appearance that she has is probably just spin from the Paper of making up the Record. Some agree and some don’t. Anyway, triggerfinger alerts us that Gillibrand’s arm being twisted by anti-gun forces. And Sebastian questions the context of another […]

I said I thought it was spin from the NYT. David Codrea thinks otherwise.

I’m not so sure that’s a fair assessment. I think it’s more like the Paper of Making Up The Record is attempting to pressure Gillibrand to soften up on guns.

Gillibrand faces crossfire on guns: Kirsten Gillibrand, a newly minted senator, finds herself in something of a tug of war because of her positions on gun control legislation. Downstate gun control advocates are expressing cautious optimism that Gillibrand, despite her 100 percent rating from the National Rifle Association, will temper her views now that she […]

Could be. In comments, BH link to this: At the news conference, Ms. Gillibrand defended her pro-gun legislative stance, saying that she “very much believes in protecting hunter’s rights” and that the pastime is part of “heritage and culture” of New York state. But she also said that now that she represented the entire state, […]

I hope not. But Chuck Schumer says so. So do the other usual suspects in the gun control pipe dream from NY. The trend seems to be something to the effect of she’ll change her mind once she sees the effect of gun violence in NYC. You know, that NYC with those restrictive gun laws? […]

CCRKBA notes that the reaction of democrats to Gillibrand’s senate slot indicates that the Democrats are still the party of gun control. I dunno. There are plenty of pro-gun Democrats and plenty of anti-gun Republicans. I don’t like to paint either with broad brush. More interesting to me is that the reaction from some Democrats […]

Commies gonna commie: Nearly 200 House Dems Now Support Bill Outlawing All New Semi-Automatic Weapons And Gillibrand wants to prosecute gun owners who don’t turn in their weapons.

Since they tried the kitchen sink approach and got nothing, they’re at it again. Seems if we make illegal stuff illegal once more, it’s synergy. Schumer is trying to resurrect an anti-gun bill. The WH meetings are held in secret. Noted gun expert Joe Biden reassures the losers. Anti-gun activists sure are an angry group.

They vote. Gillibrand could probably use them about now.

Senator Gillibrand was bought pretty cheap.

Senator Gillibrand (D-isappointment) has sponsored some sort of gun control bill. It looks to make gun trafficking even more illegaller by making it a crime again. Gives more funding to ATF. And gives the AG more power over gun dealers. Sebastian has a look.

Gillibrand and the shoulder thing that goes up have settled their gun control differences. She’s making the error now.

Soon, you’ll be able to transport your weapons on Amtrak, like you can on a plane. Even Brady had no issue with this but guess who voted no? Gillibrand. She was a mistake. ETA: Guess who else voted no.

Next week. Claims it’s a test for Gillibrand, who, despite an NRA A rating, has been a disappointment to gun owners.

It’s worse than a mere ban on private sales. Also, one of the bill’s sponsors is Kirsten Gillibrand: isn’t this the same Kirsten Gillibrand everyone was sending money to because she was such a pro-gun Democrat? I’m sure there’s a lot of buyers’ remorse for her, now.

Kirsten Gillibrand denies that she has flip-flopped on the issue of gun rights: gun rights advocates say Gillibrand “flip-flopped” on guns because they believe she’s changing her position for political convenience. Gillibrand’s office says she’s not changing her position at all. And her statement: “I have always supported law enforcement having access to all of […]

Getting word the bill overriding DC’s gun control laws passed 62-36. Of note, Gillibrand voted against. Update: NRA fast with the presser. Update 2: Looks like he has the same source: I am also hearing that Holder’s comments were instrumental in helping bring this issue back up, and picking up the votes it needed. So […]

Gillibrand writes letter to ask for repeal of Tiahrt amendment. I gave her the benefit of doubt. Now, not so much.

Dave Kopel to Senator Gillibrand: Stick to your guns.

You’ll recall during the Republican Primaries, a reporter asked the candidates if they owned guns and, if so, what kind. Fred Thompson answered with: I own a couple but I’m not gonna tell you what they are or where they are. A good answer because it tells pro-gunners that you understand the issue and it […]

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership attempts to call out Gillibrand: A gun-control group is calling on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) to sponsor a gun-control bill to show that she’s evolving from being a favorite of the gun lobby to a true blue-state senator. “She’s saying she realizes that she represents a statewide constituency,” […]

Party above principle: Rep. Carolyn McCarthy may be threatening a primary challenge to newly named New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand over her pro-gun stand, but records show McCarthy donated $1,500 to Gillibrand’s two successful races for an upstate House seat.

Hillary Clinton’s replacement, Kristen Gillibrand, is reportedly pro-gun: A big gun supporter, she’s been given a 100% approval rating by the NRA — she’s one of the extremely few Democrats on a federal level to win official NRA endorsement — and, this fall, she voted in favor of a controversial bill to repeal District of […]
