More than 100 town hall meetings across the country this week are focusing on gun violence — including two in New York’s traditionally gun-friendly 19th District.

Two Democratic candidates hoping to take on GOP Rep. John Faso are hosting town hall meetings as activists look to sustain focus on gun control issues following the Feb. 14 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.

The candidates acknowledge the upstate New York district is home to scores of gun owners. And they don’t appear to be concerned that highlighting the issue could hurt them in November, as they look to make their mark in the crowded Democratic primary.

“I think there’s been too much political calculus on this issue for way too long,” said Democrat Pat Ryan, who hosted a meeting Tuesday night. “And we need to look at the overwhelming feedback we’re getting from young people … that the current situation is not working.”

In a district that’s expected to be one of the most competitive House races of the cycle, it remains to be seen whether the Democrats’ gun control positions could be an issue in the general election. Other issues could dominate the campaign.
