BROOKLYN (VINnews) — Former Councilman David Greenfield responded to backlash over his position on gun control, using screenshots from VIN News. In a tweet Thursday, Mr. Greenfield posted screenshots of commenters from this website, who were critical of his position to tighten gun control restrictions.
His tweet said: “Some of my former constituents are angry at me for calling for ‘sensible gun control.’ Here’s a sampling of comments from a popular news blog. I am literally speaking out so that we can save lives. If that’s not a good reason to annoy people, I don’t know what is.”
