Watch Daylin Leach's statement on sensible gun control in the video above. It's likely to be the only substantive thing you'll hear about guns in the campaign for the congressional seat being given up by Allyson Schwartz (Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County). There are 4 Democrats in this primary-- and aside from Daylin, so one has a record on guns... and that's the way they like it.Recently the insufferable Chris Matthews fed batty former congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky a softball lede about how wonderful PA-13 is, emphasizing all the wonderful parts of the district and then leaving it for her to mention what she loves about the district. She doesn't live in the district and doesn't really know it and just started babbling about all the wonderful places hunters can bring dead deer to get them butchered. It's not really that kind of district-- even if it was when she was defeated by a Republican a couple of decades ago, a Republican who ran to the left of her on Social Security!But the thing is about a state with a right-wing governor and right-wing state legislature, like Pennsylvania, is that gun legislation is never brought to the floor to be voted on and made into an issue. So unless you've introduced legislation (which Daylin has) or written editorials (which Daylin has), or participated in public debates on the issue (which Daylin has)-- and which none of his opponents have-- they can say whatever they want to now about how they really "feel." But none of the other three were noticeably present while Daylin has been fighting these battles.Watch the video again. If that's the kind of congressman you'd like to see representing PA-13, please consider contributing to his campaign here. He's been endorsed by Blue America and endorsed by Alan Grayson.
