Do you think that when Rudy confiscated over 100,000 guns all of them were criminals?
I've been told that people have to jump hoops to get a gun in NYC under Rudy and under Bloomberg - BOTH RINOs.
Rudy ended the hoop system. Unless you're the mayor's good buddy, you can't own a handgun.
I lived through 8 years of Rudy's mayoralty. I don't recall him having "confiscated over 100,000 guns." By what power and means did he do that? Also, the gun laws in NYC have been extremely restrictive for many decades. Long before Rudy became mayor. He did not create those laws. I hate the gun laws in NYC but Rudy is not to blame for the situation.
Rudy went after people (I'm using that term VERY loosely !) were had guns that had been used in criminal behavior, many of which had had their serial numbers erased/effaced. With more than 8 million people living in the five boroughs that comprise N.Y.C., 100,000 confiscated guns, taken from thugs and gang bangers, who had more than just 1 gun apiece, isn't much, is it?
You had to jump through hoops to get a gun license at least 5 decades before he ever was born; let alone became mayor. N.Y. state and N.Y.C. have had strict gun laws and registration for a long time. But that hasn't stopped regular people from having guns legally there.
Bloomberg is actually the poster-boy for the word RINBO; unlike Rudy.
