The recently appointed replacement for Hillary Clinton's vacant U.S. Senate seat, Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) mother of a 5 year old and an infant, recently came under fire from New York anti-gun groups when it was learned that she kept two rifles under her bed for protection of her family. Nevermind that it was later disclosed that the rifles were stored in a locked case away from any ammunition, the New York anti-gun machine went into full-automatic and has been letting her have it with both barrels.
One of her most vocal critics, Joyce Gorycki, co-chair of Long Island's New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, summed her opposition to the guns under the bed this way: "I don't know why she needs two rifles." According to the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Ms. Gorycki, it's none of your dang business.
Now that savaging Sarah Palin is no longer trendy, the Dems have turned on one of their own. What is it about powerful women packing heat that drives the left so crazy? I know that it's too much to ask for liberal groups not to make a political football out of this, but the fact is if Senator Gillibrand has legal guns stored safely in her home, she has every right to do so, political backlash notwithstanding.
So, buckling to political pressure, the new senator has moved the rifles to an undisclosed location for "security reasons". I'd love to see the gun control gestapo's faces when they find out the guns are under the 5 year old's bed now. ;-)
