I wish I had a transcript, but this is what I recall.

He said he supported gun control in New York City because when he became mayor the murder rate was about 2,600 a year, and by confiscating guns from criminals, the murder rate dropped to about 600 a year.

He said he thought the gun issues in a crowded major metropolitan area were different than gun issues in rural or suburban areas.

He said he thought that individual states should decide for themselves what works best for them.

Parenthetically, let me mention the fact that Reagan, Rudy's old boss, supported the Brady Bill.

I know people who think the right to bear arms entitles them to own tanks and cannons and other major ordinance! Maybe even some of the Freepers who condemn Giuliani.
