Giuliani is just another statist. And he means to rule, not govern.

Doesn't matter if he has an 'R' or a 'D' after his name.

I give him an 'F'

I give him an "F" too, as in F Rudy!

Methinks you are onto something here.
I have been waiting for this to become an example of how gun control works.
It was not controlling guns that limited crime in NYC (after all, how does taking them from law abiding citizens accomplish this?), it was controlling people.
If you arrest every person who does something illegal, such as jumping a turnstile, it is not unlikely that you will bag people who are carrying guns for criminal purposes, drugs, or stolen goods. Removing these people who evidence disdain for the laws is what controls crime.
Unfortunately, what passes for logic in some minds will continue to assert that it was removing the guns that accomplished the goal.
