Gomez, Markey Spar On Gun Control Ad
By Fred Thys May 17, 2013 Updated May 17, 3:25 pm
BOSTON Gun control is entering the debate between Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Ed Markey and his Republican rival, Gabriel Gomez and a new television ad is prompting the sparring.
Markeys latest ad points out his opposition to the National Rifle Association. It claims Markey will continue to fight for common-sense laws to stop gun violence.
Gomez is against banning high-capacity magazines, like the ones used in the Newtown school shooting, the ad also says.
But Gomez took issue with that last reference to Newtown.
Im a father of four young kids, Gomez said during a press conference in South Boston on Friday. For him to go this low and try to attack me on a negative ad like that and to tie me to a Newtown massacre is below the low. I bucked my party, and Ive supported the Toomey-Manchin bill that would have had further background checks on gun sales, and I went against my party on that. And I firmly believe when I go down there, Im going to fight to make sure that bill goes through.
Gomez defended his position, reaffirming the importance of background checks over a full ban.
We had an assault weapons ban in 1994, and the effects of that assault weapon ban werent what the proponents of it had. Violence went up. Deaths went up. Homicides went up. And on top of that, we already have an assault weapons ban here in Massachusetts, Gomez said. I think we need to focus on what the core issue is, and thats what the Toomey-Manchin bill is, and thats the only bill were going to be voting on when we get down to D.C.
So Gomez...
He believes?
Rather close minded don't you think!
For Pete's sake he has four young kids don't ya know!

(111,406 posts)thinking anybody else with a Spanish surname will automatically vote for them.
You'd think they'd realize the error of their ways since everybody with a vagina didn't vote for the ticket with Palin on it.
Hispanics are not dumb, not by a long shot, and they're not going to be fooled by half wits like this Gomez character.

(83,986 posts)He has his last name in common with us, Rodriguez said. He is Hispanic, but in reality he hasnt done anything for us. He has no record that indicates hes going to benefit us. The fact that hes Latino doesnt mean anything.
What guarantee do we have, if hes never done anything for Hispanics, that hell do it now? Clase said.
