Hillary Clinton's replacement as Senator of New York- Kirsten Gillibrand, has been brazenly professing her affinity for firearms. She is doing this despite representing a state that has stringent sentencing guidelines when it comes to gun possession. New York City's transit riders would be remiss not to have noticed advertising that warns of a mandatory 3 and-a-half year prison stay if caught with an "illegal" firearm. However, New York Senator Gillibrand is declaring her advocacy for guns; stating that she has a right to protect her home.
There are likely a lot of politicians and law-makers who concur with the Senator's gun position. They also likely feel that this right is exclusive to a certain demographic. After all, who are all of the mandatory gun sentencing advertisements and laws targeted to?
This kind of covert racism is just as- if not more- dangerous than the racism exhibited by The New York Post that has people up in arms. Therefore, I must ask: What are we going to boycott to protest this?
[SIDEBAR: Caroline Kennedy, where are you?]
