See, the thing with that is, Cobb was just caught on video telling supporters she wants an “assault rifle” ban, a position she seems to think she needs to keep from the voters at large.

The Free Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski reported Wednesday:
Tedra Cobb, the Democratic candidate in New York’s 21st Congressional District, told a group of teenage supporters that she supports a ban on certain firearms but won’t say so publicly for fear of losing her election.
“When I was at this thing today, it was the first table I was at, a woman said, ‘How do you feel about assault rifles?’ And I said they should be banned,” Cobb can be heard saying in the video recorded by one of the attendees. “And I said, you know, people were getting up to go, to go get their lunch because it was a buffet, and I just said to her, I want you to know Cindy, I cannot say that.”
When the woman pushed back on Cobb keeping quiet on how she feels about banning certain firearms, Cobb said coming out in favor of a gun ban would lead to her losing her bid against Republican incumbent Elise Stefanik.

Except when you're lying about guns

Really no lies? What is your stance on gun control
— TherealBATMAN (@MSGDWC) July 11, 2018
Isn’t saying you are not seeking gun control, and then secretly advocating it with children a form of lying?

Well, except for the part where you lie about your stance on an weapon ban.
But yeah, sure, otherwise, well done you.
— Suburban Sheepdog (@RobertKuntz) July 11, 2018
Yet you still refuse to state that you want an assault weapons ban. If you're being honest, you would!
