Rudy on gun control: "You've got to REGULATE consistent with the Second Amendment"

As VRWC posted: What part of the people's right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED does he NOT understand?

Thanks, but JimRob posted that comment originally. I simply replied to it that apparently Rudy understands everything except for the part that is written in English.

I'm just confused.........

The republicans lost the house and senate, in danger of losing the white house and further judiciary appointments in the next few years.

The best they can do is Rudy?

What part of conservatism do they not understand?

[Coldwater Creek]

BINGO!

You know those Rudybeggars will claim folks only "volunteered" to surrender their weapons for the good of the children.

They'll shout "Well do you want Hillary instead?" Like those were the only two choices. (Though actually I don't see a whole lot of difference between the two on issues)

[dirtboy]

You have a lot of nerve, injecting fact and reason into this dustup! :^)

[from occupied ga]

What part of conservatism do they not understand?

Apparently all of it.

[dirtboy]

Hey, Abundy, great to see you here again!

[Coldwater Creek]

Almost a thousand post! I would say that MOST conservatives are going to protect their weapons above all else. Not a bad idea to start there.

Thanks for the great job that you do for all of us.

I note the level of support for Giuliani on FR and I am puzzled by it. Certainly all the Rudy fans here cannot be trolls and liberal moles. A large part of his support here seems to derive not from conservative beliefs and rational arguments, but from a cult of personality following. Disturbing.

Hard to keep track on a thread with almost 1000 posts.

So let's keep on reposting a beautiful defense of the Second: "What part of the people's right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED does Rudy NOT understand?"

I heard him on Hannity's radio show and he said he felt gun control had been effective in NY. He also said it's different for each region and that each should decide for themselves.

But, how do you 'demonstrate need' for a weapon? And why should you have to?

[beezdotcom]

I still feel no elected official should ever be let out of rifle range.

Really? So, you would let elected conservatives stand anywhere near armed DUmmies? I'm not sure that's a good idea.

[from occupied ga]

He also said it's different for each region and that each should decide for themselves.

In saying this he implicitly denies that you have rights. If he's for majority decisions in different areas, then he's saying that there isn't any fundamental right that supersedes the tyranny of the majority.

I've made the same observation myself. It's bad enough that so many people are willing to jettison core conservative beliefs to support the guy. But too many are turning around and trashing those beliefs as well, in a warped effort to somehow make Rudy seem more "electable" by saying his critics are misguided idiots. I've seen the motives of pro-life groups inpugned. Gun-rights activists accused of wanting guns to kill those who disagree with them. Critics of Rudy's gay rights beliefs referred to as Klan. It's really a sorry display, and it makes me wonder whether the conservatism of some people here is a mile wide and an inch deep. Or whether that inch of water has just dried up and shown the muck that lies beneath.

[Coldwater Creek]

i am really surprised at some of the Rudybots myself. If you look back at their old post they are really pretty conservative. My belief is that they have fallen into the trap of the MSM. That is a dangerous place for Republicans to be.

[dirtboy]

But, how do you 'demonstrate need' for a weapon?

I guess you have to get robbed first. Kind of a counterproductive approach if you ask me.

[servantboy777]

lol
