Sen. designate Kirsten E. Gillibrand started her statewide “listening tour” Saturday in the heart of Harlem — far from the upstate farmlands she has represented as a congresswoman...
Gillibrand began...by appearing at a weekly rally held by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Sharpton introduced her to the crowd by making note of their political differences...Gillibrand has opposed gun control. ...When pressed on guns, Gillibrand... She said she was willing to meet with anti-violence groups and listen to what they had to say.
When asked whether some NRA positions on gun ownership might contradict the gun-control needs of a community like Harlem, she said, “There might well be,” adding, “I’ll look into it.” |

TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
