Were the gun restrictions Rudy's idea and ONLY his idea?? Was he the ONLY one behind that?

"Were the gun restrictions Rudy's idea and ONLY his idea?? Was he the ONLY one behind that?"

Here is a speech Julie-Annie made to a gun control group. Read the words and decide if he sounds sincere to you.

My favorite quote is:

" 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." - Rudolph Giuliani

No. Some of NYC's gun laws go back to the Sullivan Act. But, having said that, Rudy was more than comfortable enforcing them, never said a word against them, never sought their abolition or amendment to make them less restrictive; did speak in support of greater ownership restrictions, and did institute the lawsuit.
