Unfortunately, she was not elected because of her...
gun beliefs. I had no idea how she stood on guns at in any way, shape or form. She was silent on that during the campaign. The last mayor made a big deal about banning or restricting them and I have no doubt that hurt him. He lost by an even bigger margin than was expected. Other than that, though, nothing was said by any of the candidates about guns during the election -- even the CAS shooter.
Evidently, talking about guns can hurt you, but it will not help you. So most everyone kept quiet. The former mayor only went strongly anti-gunowner after polls showed that he was losing. He was trying to shore up his Demoncratic base. It failed.
