Anyone thinks that gun owners would vote for a guy that would make them criminals is nuts.

IIRC, you can carry in NYC but you must have a license. I think that was the rule when Rudy was mayor.

Here's a link to a New York guns laws site....

Rudy can get around the 2nd amendment issue easily if he were to explain that he was for gun control in NYC at a time when it was the crime capital of the world. By the time he was done, it was one of the safest cities in the world.

I lived in the City from the 70's to the 90's and I can tell you that Rudy solved problems that many New Yorkers thought were insoluble.

don't bother trying to recall any of that. Rudy doesn't believe in it and only the politicos and their good buddies get to carry. The right to keep and bear arms is a right that belongs to everyone, including the little guy. It's not a privaledge to be licensed. If the country club folks don't like it, that's tough.

Rudy is a gun grabber. It's part of his worldview. He will not change his mind and I wouldn't believe him anyway. He's a player that whored around on his wives. I certainly won't be taken in by his games. It was not one of the safest cities in the world. It was one of hte biggest run by a strict authoritarian who disarmed and rendered defenseless the citizens that lived there.

Wonderful. I never had much problem living in big cities at all, except for, corruption, gun grabbers, petty police action and the general demonization and prohibition of self defense.
