Conservative Party head calls gun bill Cuomo’s ‘political theater’
Is the state’s tough new gun control bill the opening salvo in the 2016 presidential campaign? Mike Long thinks so.
Long, the Bay Ridge resident who is chairman of the New York State Conservative Party, charged that the bill being pushed, and now passed, by Governor Andrew Cuomo is nothing more than political maneuvering on the governor’s part.
“This bill does nothing to save lives. This is just political theater by Andrew Cuomo who wanted to get a bill passed so he could be the first in the country and be ahead of Joe Biden,” Long said. “Joe Biden is going to be his opponent for the Democratic nomination in 2016,” Long added.
