Zephyr Teachout on Gun Control

	Zephyr Teachout on Gun Control

Supports tougher gun control laws

Zephyr Teachout said the state chief executive's first term has been marked by broken promises and favors to corporate leaders who are financing his re-election bid. Teachout said Cuomo has failed to take a stand on a number of issues, such as hydraulic fracturing, and has been misleading about others, like medical marijuana. "He said we had to clean up Albany," she said. "His current 'Clean Up Albany' booklet now reads like a series of broken promises."

Teachout did support Cuomo work toward reducing the state prison population and getting state lawmakers to adopt tougher gun-control laws. However, she said, changes that appear to broaden medical marijuana laws are misleading. "In the most recent medical marijuana bill, the new rules are you can use a vaporizer," she said. "But if you're not using a vaporizer, it's still illegal."

Teachout supports the CC survey question on Second Amendment

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Further Restrictions on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms' The Christian Coalition notes, "You can help make sure that voters have the facts BEFORE they cast their votes. We have surveyed candidates in the most competitive congressional races on the issues that are important to conservatives."
