. One has to be honest about it, the crackdown on guns did drop the murder rate, one can buy the logic in that, that the situation required it. But then when the situation no longer requires it back off.

If that's true, places like DC and Chicago would have the lowest murder rates in the country. They don't. Enforcing laws, which includes getting firearms out of the hands of felons and gangbangers lowers crime.

Keeping criminals in jail lowers crime.

Adding to the rolls of "criminals" by criminalizing existing crime owners doesn't lower crime.

I know all that but maybe Rudy doesn't or wasn't the one that was so zelous about it in NYC. There are a few dems in NYC city government I would guess. Don't blame Rudy for them.

I'm still waiting for an answer - was Rudy the only one responsible for the idea and execution of the gun restrictions in NYC?
