He said it himself...."I could shoot someone on the streets of New York and

not lose voters!"

Someone needs to produce a video / ad lumping his 2nd amendment comment together with his New York comment, with Sharon Angle's comment, Ted Nugent, the Bundy nuts, and other gop figures who have suggested / threatened to use guns to solve their problems.
