Did we really? And this was because the President has the power to unilaterally abrogate the Constitution?It doesn't matter. Congress passed the law and Clinton signed it.
Which is why it is VITAL that we have a president who reaches for the veto stamp instead of his pen when a gun-control bill crosses his desk.

Threads like this seem to always motivate me to make a new gun purchase. I've been looking to add a 9mm Beretta PX4 Storm semiauto to my handgun collection. I think I'll take care of that tomorrow.

Bigh4u2 must have forgotten that your natural rights are dependent upon the population of the state/country/kingdom/empire in which you live.
No, I was simply pointing out the "Wild West" argument is apples and oranges.

So if you're talking about a city like New York, a densely populated area like New York, I think it's appropriate. You might have different laws other places, and maybe a lot of this gets resolved based on different states, different communities making decisions. After all, we do have a federal system of government in which you have the ability to accomplish that.*************
Wrong. FMCDH, Giuliani.

City Has Seized Almost 90,000 Guns Since 1994
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: Wednesday, August 1, 2001
"The Police Department's dramatic success in reducing crime is due in large part to its corresponding success in removing guns from City streets," the Mayor said. "More than 90,000 guns have been seized since 1994, and shootings have plummeted more than 74 percent.
The NYPD's gun seizure success is also reflected in the murder rate, which has plummeted 65 percent since 1994, and is down another 11 percent this year over last year. The NYPD has also ensured that thousands of guns can never be used to commit a crime by destroying them and putting the metal to good use. Now, another 3,000 guns have been taken out of circulation -- permanently."

What if Giuliani is the only person who can stop Hitliary? The Dems in 2004 voted for Kerry in the primaries because they thought he could win.

I don't think he can recover from this. Was Hannity still making bedroom eyes at him after the interview.

It has been proven that when the people can carry their arms, the crime rate drops. Rudi should have advocated everyone carrying guns, then the criminals would not know if you had one or not, and they would have thought twice about going after you.
No; Rudi is far too liberal for me. He'll not get my support.

CFR kind of negates your point don't you think?Noooo... CFR tells us that we elected the wrong legislators. The President should've vetoed it. Shame on him for not vetoing it. And I'm sure that many of GWB's newly-appointed federal judges will somewhere down the line be part of the chain of justice that finally smashes the unconstitutional garbage. But in the meantime, while we're stuck with it, blow a raspberry to GWB but flip the bird to the asshole politicians who wrote it and voted for it.

"The restrictions of it have to be reasonable and sensible." The problem is that people like Rudy have very different notions of what is "reasonable and sensible" than I do. And his notions are wildly different from what Chuckie Shumer thinks is "reasonable and sensible".
Speaking for myself, I would like to abolish all federal gun-control laws established in the 20th Century.
And as far as "keeping guns out of the hands of criminals", my attitude is: if he's too dangerous to be allowed to own a gun, then he's too dangerous to be loose on the street

Now, Rudy believes that the word regulated implies the Constitutionality of things such as the Brady Act. ... He's not trying to ignore or rewrite the Constitution ...In your scenario, he'd be ignoring the "shall not be infringed" part. At this point, I'd really have to question his reading comprehension and his thinking. Maybe he's too emotion driven on this issue. Emotion-driven policies are bad. I don't want someone who can't be bothered to figure out what they actually meant by "regulated" or who is emotion-driven as president.

So? Why should that be any different now?
And when did the law change?
This thread is about Rudy saying it should be regulated and I was simply commenting that it is regulated now.
Nobody is going to become President and push for or get congress to drop regulations on gun ownership when it comes to felons.
