L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso has called on Bass to prove she was a responsible gun owner. But voters could very well see it as sexism or racism.
The congresswoman said the firearms had been “securely stored” and that nothing else was taken in Friday’s burglary.Back to earlier this month, when the Bass campaign shook up the mayor’s race by announcing that two handguns had been stolen from the congresswoman’s home in Baldwin Vista.
These are important questions that need to be answered. Already, the public speculation has been rampant.The Bass campaign acknowledged almost immediately that the handguns — later identified as .38-caliber revolvers — were registered to the congresswoman and were “safely and securely stored” in a Brinks lockbox in her closet.
“I’m disheartened, Rick. So I just want to take a moment and speak directly to the people of Los Angeles,” Bass began with more than a touch of indignation. “My home was burglarized. I called the police and later they arrested two suspects and the storage and registration were 100% legal. I think this is an act of desperation, Rick.”
“What I said about your burglary is that I feel sorry for anybody — including you — for that to happen to,” he said, adding: “There are two guns on the street now and we have terrible gun violence in the city of Los Angeles. And that’s a shame and I know that pains you, but knowing how those are stored is just a simple thing to answer.”
