I can't vote for any antigun candidate. At least the GOP would fight Hillary.

Here is a Julie-Annie speech on Gun control. It was made to the Citizen’s Crime Commission
http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/rwg/html/97a/ccc.html

Do you see anything wrong with his quotes?

“Just as unimpeded interstate travel is Constitutionally guaranteed, but we reserve the right to regulate driving automobiles, so too must we sensibly regulate gun purchases to preserve the safety of all Americans.”

“However, guns kill many more people than automobiles do, even though there are many more cars than guns, and cars are used much more often than guns. ”

“Perhaps, we should require insurance for handguns. If liability insurance were required to purchase and own a handgun, you better believe that the insurance industry would promulgate a pretty rigorous licensing and purchasing process to control the risk.”

“I know many people argue that keeping and bearing arms is federally guaranteed right as stated in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. But even in the Second Amendment, it refers to firearms in the context of a well regulated militia, and well regulated is what we're trying to accomplish.”

“And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts.”

If I wasn't at work right now, I would've been cursing up a huge storm after reading what that dingbat said. Well-regulated militia means a well-organized militia. How stupid can one be?

Rudy: "...guns kill many more people than automobiles do..."

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy... You really ought to hire some people to research this stuff for you before you say such silly and thoroughly false things.

Exactly! And where did "A well Regulated Militia" come from (and corespondingly where did the weapons for the 'Militia' Come from): The People: The Average Man on The Street, The typical Family..It is self evident that the 2nd Ammendment was meant to apply to the individual man (citizen). It was also common sense (we dont need judges to 'tell us' waht the Constitution means.).
