Neither of them would get my vote...McLame is siding with the kooks on the Left too much.

As far as Guiliani, the 2nd Amendment matters!

The rest of the pet issues are irrelevant unless you can defend yourself from the criminals.

As far as Guiliani, the 2nd Amendment matters!

I'm not entirely familiar with Guiliani's 2nd Amedment stances, but I would guess that his views would change somewhat between running NYC and running the country.

Pro-gun control works well as a policy in a large urban area (this is where I get inundated with NRA statistics...that's not my point... it works wells as a policy to get votes.)

Guiliani is (I hope) smart enough to realize that he would have to be more pro 2nd amendment to be considered as a realistic candidate for pres, if he so chose to run.

Basically, in a nut shell... stricter gun control policies make sense when you're running a larger urban area. They don't make as much sense when you're running a country with lots of rural area.
