I see no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment.

I also believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity for the United States and European Union to lead the world in developing and implementing new and more efficient technologies - smart electrical grids and electrical vehicles.

I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.

Today we voted as Democrats and Republicans. Tomorrow we begin again as New Yorkers.

I don't feel particularly courageous.

I respect the second amendment and the right of individuals to own firearms. But I think that we all agree that there are some people who should not be able just to walk in and buy weapons of war.
