New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Urges Hunters and Shooters to Vote for Barclay for State Senate

TROY, NY (02/19/2008)(readMedia)-- Despite assurances from both candidates that they will not allow downstate powers to infringe on gun control, gun owners have a clear choice in the race to fill the 48th Senate District seat.

Earlier this year the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association endorsed Assemblyman Will Barclay for this race. The State Senate has a slim Republican pro-gun majority. In order to maintain pro-gun leadership in the Senate, and to prevent harassment of New York's hunters, shooters and sportsmen, we need Will Barclay in the Senate. A majority Democrat Senate will advance gun and ammunition bans, and strive to curtail or destroy hunting and the shooting sports in New York State.

NYSRPA strongly urges hunters, shooters and sportsmen to turn out to support Assemblyman Barclay in the February 26th special election. Mark your calendar, and vote!
