Thats comparing apples to oranges. If you feel that gun rights are not a local issue then you have a crusade to fight. The vast majority of gun laws are on the state and local level. Rudy has said that as President he would not change the gun laws because he feels that they fall under state jurisdiction.

"Thats comparing apples to oranges."

Really?

"Congress shall make no law..."

vs.

"...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

...Seems the Second is more strongly worded than the First. The Second clearly states that the right under discussion shall not be infringed. The First explicitly applies only to Congress.

My analogy regarding Buddhists in Connecticut was chosen for a reason, and you're ducking it.
