That experience taught me to respect guns, not to fear them, and it is part of why I believe so strongly that the rights of law-abiding Americans to own firearms must be protected. I also know that saying what I am about to say in NY-21, a conservative-leaning district where Second Amendment politics run deep, and where the safer move for any candidate is to stay quiet, hedge, or simply echo the loudest voices, is not the politically convenient path.
