Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has a new ad out, featuring a police officer sharply criticizing Sharron Angle for her infamous comment about people looking to their “Second Amendment remedies” as a check on Congress.
“It’s crazy, but what she’s actually talking about is armed resistance,” says Bill Ames, president of the Peace Officers Research Association of Nevada. “Look, I’m a member of the NRA, and a Republican. But that kind of talk is dangerous, and way too extreme.”
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Reid a lead of 45.1%-42.7%.
