I can't speak for JimRob, but I think Rudy would do exactly that if he ever gained the power to do so, seriously. His supporters claim that he has softened his position on gun control now that he is no longer mayor of NYC, but his responses to questions concerning the 2nd Amendment and guns on Hannity & Colmes were not reassuring to gun rights advocates to say the least.
The unfortunate fact is that despite the growing mountain of evidence to the contrary that has been presented in recent years by many highly respected constitutional experts, dean Lawrence Tribe of Harvard law School for one example, practically all northeastern liberals of both parties are convinced that the 2nd Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms. When that belief is combined with a seemingly inborn prejudice against gun possession by ordinary citizens and a mistaken belief that more guns in lawful hands means more crime, it's only natural that a northeastern liberal president such as Rudy would be if elected would work for the enactment of much more restrictive federal gun control laws than are now on the books.
Until we have at least a 6-3 originalist majority on the USSC and many more originalists on the lower federal bench, I am not willing to put my 2nd Amendment rights in the hands of a NYC RINO who has a long track record of denying law abiding Americans under his jurisdiction their constitutional right to possess firearms and use them for lawful purposes.
Welp, we're going to find out...
There's another thread running tonight on Rudy and the FRullianis are out in full force adoration. No doubt he was a plus in cess pool called NYC, but he has no clue about us down here in South Carolina. We don't want the entire country run like NYC. What worked there won't work here.
