The National Rifle Association (NRA) let Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) have it again, tweeting out an old “love letter” they received from the senator while she served in the House of Representatives.
On Monday, Gillibrand — who is one of the 24 candidates in the Democratic presidential primary field — posted a video of her speaking at the Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Forum calling on people to start “speaking out” on gun legislation.
[Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell] could call us back into Congress today,” said Gillibrand. “We could pass universal background checks today. We can ban assault weapons. We can ban large magazines. We can have a federal anti-trafficking law today.”Wait… Did you also show them the love letter you wrote us?
