The donks won't touch it (yet), but that doesn't mean an anti-gun Republican wouldn't. There's always risk of a triangulating, "it takes a Nixon to go to China" effect. For example, it took the 'toon, of all people, to ramp up the federal prosecution of marijuana users ("look, I'm a tough-on-drugs democrat!"). Rudy is no weaselly 'toon, of course, but I could easily see him pursuing a policy that he sincerely believes, and scoring political points across the aisle while doing it.

Exactly. That's why Rudy is more dangerous to our nation than Hillary even though she's slightly to his left.
