There's an old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, but one political action committee told Fox 9 News they don't' need that many to explain what's wrong with the photo Rick Nolan put out. Rather, they only need three: Basic gun safety. "He's trying to portray to the people in his district, who -- by and large -- are gun owners and hunters, that he's one of them and he's going to support their gun rights," Andrew Rothman, of the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, told Fox 9 News. That's part of the reason why the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC couldn't wait to pounce on the picture the democratic congressman from the 8th District posted on Twitter of him holding an AR-15 -- a gun he once thought should be banned, or so he told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Jan. 6, 2013.
