Rick Lazio, Steve Levy and Carl Paladino had a Q&A session at a GOP candidates forum in Canastota over the weekend. Paladino at least touched on guns:
“… “My philosophy is Conservative Republican,” he said, explaining how he is against abortion, gay marriage and gun control …”
Unfortunately, it appears Lazio has a majority of support to secure the GOP gubernatorial nomination. Starting today Paladino and Levy will begin airing ads looking to cut into that support prior to the upcoming GOP convention. According to the Buffalo News:
“… The radio ads feature Paladino speaking to his audience about cutting taxes, slashing spending and creating jobs. The TV spot, meanwhile, features an announcer asking Paladino’s signature question of whether “you’re mad as hell about the mess in Albany?” …”
It will be interesting to see if he mentions guns in any of them. I would be surprised if Levy brings it up. I knows he’s been asked about it and it’s clearly not a hot button issue for him.
