If GOP nominee Mazi Pilip wins on Tuesday, and Republicans keep blocking border legislation, Suozzi warned that “we’re gonna end up with more migrants coming to New York; and on top of that, they’re gonna have access to AR-15s.”

...

The GOP attempted to make a clean break from Santos by nominating Pilip, a county legislator who was born in Ethiopia, moved to Israel and served in its military, and immigrated to New York in 2005. Little-known before this race, Republicans spent more than $6 million in advertising that told her story and blamed Suozzi and Democrats for the wave of migrants bussed in by red-state governors since Biden took office.

    It's just a regional thing. In New York, AR15s are banned (Google featureless rifles for a laugh) so they're now the Big Scary Gun that Democrats talk about

      I am a huge fan of California's futile attempts to ban semi-automatic rifles without just doing that.
