Giuliani: Gun control helped lower crime

5 minutes ago

Rudy Giuliani addressed a potentially troublesome issue with conservative voters, saying his policies as mayor to get handguns off the street helped reduce crime in New York.

"I used gun control as mayor," he said at a news conference Saturday during a swing through California. But "I understand the Second Amendment. I understand the right to bear arms."

He said what he did as mayor would have no effect on hunting.

Addressing another potential trouble spot with conservatives, Giuliani spoke in favor of a border fence, saying, "You have to have secure borders, you have to have a fence, and the fence I think has to be a highly technological one."

The nation needs to know, he said, who is coming into the country and why. But he provided scant details on how he would deal with illegal immigrants already in the country. Citizens, he added, should be able to read and write English.

Giuliani was to make an address Monday in Silicon Valley and he was to appear Tuesday at an agricultural fair in the Central Valley.

Asked when he would make a formal announcement that he is a candidate for the Republican nomination, Giuliani said: "Well, formally announce? I don't know."

One more time.......

It isn't.....about.....hunting......

He said what he did as mayor would have no effect on hunting.

The 2nd amendment to the constitution has nothing to do with hunting. No way this guy gets my vote. This man is not a RINO he's a democrat.

The Second Amendment is not about ducks.

[SmoothTalker]

Disgusting. If this RINO gets the nomination, the party will splinter. He will be the last straw for a lot of frustrated true conservatives.

Just one final statement.
I've been sitting here getting more and more fed up with
all of this talk about these, pieces of machinery, having
no legitimate sporting purpose, no legitimate hunting
purpose, people, that is not the point of the second amendment!
The second amendment is not about duck hunting, and I
know I'm not going to make very many friends saying this,
but it's about our right, all of our right to be able to protect our selves from all of you guys up there.

But "I understand the Second Amendment. I understand the right to bear arms."

He said what he did as mayor would have no effect on hunting.

The second sentence PROVES gun-grabbing RINO-rudy doesn't understand SH*T where the 2nd Amendment is concerned.

Get a fork, he may be done (we can hope).

Tin foil hat on slightly.

After the Democrat and left wing Republican Amnesty which President Bush will sign, To get to the Norte America Union, you need a big gun grabber.

That way there may only be a few WACOS instead of several hundred.

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

Rudy on gun control: "You've got to regulate CONSISTENT WITH THE SECOND AMENDMENT."

In other words, he's saying any regulation not consistent with the Second Amendment is unconstitutional. Any proposed gun regulation must be consistent with the Second Amendment.
