Senator Mark Grisanti<\/a> who lost the GOP primary<\/a> last week admits to the Buffalo News<\/a> that his SAFE vote hurt him:<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0He acknowledged his vote in favor of the SAFE Act, Cuomo\u2019s<\/a> strict gun-control law, could have been a factor this year, especially with his district now encompassing more suburban territory. \u00a0But he said he will continue to make the case that his vote for the bill resulted only from his efforts to strip it of some of its more \u201cobtrusive measures.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bullshit.<\/p>\n

Bullshit.<\/p>\n
