Don't think so. Wonder what Paul would think about the beginning and end of Rudy's candidacy?

To purchase a gun in the State of New York you have to give your full name, your date of birth, your residence, your occupation. You have to prove that you're a United States citizen, you have to show you are of good character, competency and integrity. And you have to demonstrate a real need for the weapon.

And thanks in part to our stricter gun control laws, crime is down dramatically in New York City. Shootings are down over 50 percent. Murder is down over 50 percent...

We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions -- and really stronger ones...

If gunowners don't understand these are his true sentiments, they will face a very tough time. If they allow Giuliani to grow in support or go unchallenged it will encourage the Dims to renew their assault on the Second Amendment. At present, they're still too gun-shy.

If you value the Second, Giuliani must be rejected.
