Which is why I don't understand the hyperventilating over Rudy and Romney when it comes to guns. The 2nd Amendment survived the Clinton years. I'm sure it'll survive a Rudy or Romney presidency.
Now, fast forward to 2009 and a hypothetical Romney presidency. Naturally, gun owners are nervous about what he would do if a Rat controlled Congress sent up some piece of excrement gun banning bill. Given his past recent performance in 2004, he'd probably sign it in and heartbeat and brag about it.
The 2nd barely surived Clinton, and then only after losing it's heart and soul to the so-called "Assault weapon" ban.
And that was with 6 years of pro-gun Republican Congresses preventing him from achieving the worst of his plans for disarming Americans. Either Giuliani or McCain could do more damage to our Constitutional right to arms with compliant RINO GOP Congressional leaders to back him up than Clinton did with pro-gun GOP Congressional leadership holding him in check.
I think you misunderstood his point. No candidate is going to be overtly anti-gun during a nationwide campaign. Any serious candidate who is anti-gun will try to hide such leanings. Therefore, one must be cautious to avoid electing an anti-gunner in disguise.
