Reply #4: Abrams's Stance on Guns Criticized (MD)

[MrBenchley]

"Montgomery County Democrats are hoping to make Stephen N. Abrams's position on gun control an issue in this fall's campaign for a seat on the school board.
Abrams, the chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Party, angered Democrats this spring when he sent a letter to several legislators opposing their efforts to enact a statewide ban on the sale of assault weapons. The letter said the legislators should have more important things to worry about than pushing for the ban.
Abrams is running for the Montgomery County Board of Education District 2 seat, representing Rockville and Potomac, against incumbent Walter Lange. But while school board races rarely center on state or national issues and are supposed to be nonpartisan, Democrats are starting to remind voters of Abrams's letter.
This week, Del. William A. Bronrott (D-Montgomery) cited the letter during a rally to protest Congress's decision not to renew the federal assault weapons ban. "

Way to go, Democrats! This fuckwit does not belong on a school board.
