supposed to but you can? why would a mayor need to carry a gun? think about that. don't we have enough guns in america? don't we have enough guns in the city of new york? haven't they done enough damage? >> let me ask you this question. i hear you. i've been watching you since i was a little tyke in mississippi. why are you running as a republican? i don't get that. >> i was the chairman of the new york state reform party. i loved it. you get to deal with democrats, republicans, and independents. andrew cuomo decided he was going to go to war against all third parties, and he essentially knocked us off the ballot. not just the reform party, the green party, libertarians, independent party. it was a war against what they call the working families party. very liberal, progressive. all he did with his wrath is strengthen them and the conservative party, so now there are only two independent parties left. whereas before, there were multiple parties. i've always been an independent. i want more parties, more debate, more candidates.
