New State Senate Leader
New Majority leader Dominic Pileggi views on guns from local paper full article attached.
Guns: ''I firmly believe in the importance of the Second Amendment. I don't belong to the [National Rifle Association] and I don't hunt. On the other hand, I see the amount of violence in our urban areas because of handguns and I believe we have to look at any strategy?[But] I think we have more of an enforcement problem than not having the right laws on the books.''
Here is the whole story.http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-...,5341822.story

Re: New State Senate Leader
So basically he states the issues from both sides, avoids making a statement or taking a stand, and plays it safe???

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."

Re: New State Senate Leader
I don't know for sure after reading that article. It seemed to me that he leans toward the lawlesness issue being one of enforcement, but I don't know that I would be willing to take that to the bank.

To me, he sounds like he's trying to be all things to all people.
