As a life long member of the NRA, and the wife of a retired military man, guns are real important to me (I carry a C/C .40 S&W Glock to the grocery store for heavens sake!). However, that said, it is not the only important issue for me. I think everyone here would agree a win for "President Hillary" would be a disaster---on sooooo many levels---and that is precisely what you are leaving the door open for. Most of us would LIKE someone more conservative, but name one, just one, that can beat Hillary. I can't think of even one, no matter how much money they could raise.

If I lived in New York, and especially if I were the Mayor, I would have grave concerns about some dumbass firing off 15 rounds from his "hand cannon" in the thin walled apartment next door. The law of "unintended consequences" could come rapidly into play---as in multiple dead bodies! As a "gun person", I'm certain you recognize the fact that the Bronx, or Brooklyn, is a lot different than the "wilds" of Michigan--or Oklahoma for that matter. There are parts of this country termed "fly over" country for a reason (population density). I am quite certain Rudy recognizes New York is much different than other parts of the country. I am also certain he understands just what sort of insurrection could result from an illegal "gun grab". You can take the outcry over the Miers nomination and multiply it by about a thousand times.

I read the "1st Freedom", every month, from cover to cover, but it is ALWAYS with the realization that the NRA is interested in one issue, only, and I, being a well rounded concerned citizen, am not a "one issue wonder". (By the way, what's up with those outrageous hunting license fees up there?)

I gave you my honest opinion on how the vote will most likely go in this state on the gun issue. The gay rights agenda is very unpopular here also. Then there is the PBA thing that isn't popular anywhere, even with most of the dems.

The hunting license thing is because people were stupid enough to give the Canadian Communist a second term. Within 30 days of the election she came out with her plan to double all license fees and raise everyones taxes.

If there is any silver lining its the fact that she is unlikely to ever be elected to any other statewide office.

Donald Duck should have been able to beat her last time. Unfortunately we ran Daffy Duck who snubbed sportsmen and was the head of Amway. If there is anything less popular than an Amway salesman at the door I can't think of it off hand.

I agree with the first part of that, she would be a disaster. On the second part, I'm not leaving the door open, Rudy as the nominee would guarantee a Hillary win.
