The ad war in Pennsylvania is heating up before the April primary for the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate to take on Tea Party U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R. PA). Braddock Mayor John Fetterman (D. PA) has released a new ad today regarding gun control:
Today, the Fetterman campaign debuted an ad entitled “Guns”.
“All of us should agree that we want to make sure that weapons like this stay out of the hands of people that could use them to hurt people,” the Mayor states while holding his Smith & Wesson Model 500, which he has owned for 10 years.
“Politicians in Washington are too afraid of the gun lobby to pass even the most sensible reforms, like universal background checks,” the candidate says in a statement accompanying the commercial. “I’m not going to promise you that I alone can change Congress, but if we want to reduce gun violence, first we have to stop electing cowards. And honestly, do I look like I’m scared of the NRA?”
