Then why can't a Republican win statewide office since Alfonse D'Amato was a Senator? I lived near Albany in the '80's. It was going to take me six months to get permit just to OWN A PISTOL. They have a 17-9 Dem majority in Congressmen.

I also lived in Upstate NY in the early 80's, but not that far upstate. Down in Orange County.

However, when 40%+ of the state's population is in NYC it is tough. Kinda like the issue IL has with chicago only far worse because chicago's population is only around 20-25% of IL's total population.

O'Riley never was much of a 2A guy. He always struck me as more to the left than the right.

NY conservative?
