This is just lame<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“During Tuesday\u2019s NY-23<\/a> Congressional debate, candidates Nick Langworthy (R)<\/a> and Max Della Pia (D)<\/a>, were asked how the government can reduce gun violence. Langworthy stated that there should be a stronger focus on mental heath … \u201cMore laws are not the answer,\u201d said Langworthy. \u201cWe need to tackle the issue of mental health and it has been ignored for far too long. When we have a tragedy, so many people on the left run to ban guns from law-abiding gun owners. \u201cThe people that commit these heinous murders and crimes, they are not deterred by more laws. They\u2019re not looking to say, \u2018Am I in compliance with the New York Safe Act<\/a>?\u2019 They wish to harm others. Until we get real about mental health in this country and analyzing what is the profile of the people that are committing these heinous murders, we are not going to solve the problem. More registries, more red-tape for law-abiding gun wars owners will not work.\u201d When asked what steps he would take to reduce gun violence if elected, Langworthy said he would utilize federal resources to commission a study on the profile of mass shooters and mental illness …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No mention whatsoever on 2A<\/a> rights.<\/p>\n

His opponent is equally worthless:<\/p>\n

“… Della Pia said that there needs to be a national, reasonable gun safety legislation that includes more universal regulations including background checks. \u201cWe need to eliminate those multi-round magazines,\u201d said Della Pia. \u201cWe\u2019ve done it in New York but that doesn\u2019t do any good if you go across 10 miles south of the border and get them from Pennsylvania.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just some some generic antigun talking points.<\/p>\n
