Obviously it's a deal-breaker for you, but the fact remains that it is NOT a deal-breaker for most conservatives and 2nd Amendment supporters in the 2008 Presidential election. They will be willing to give Giuliani a pass on this issue because it has receded in urgency.
It would be different if there was a significant danger of Congress passing new anti-gun laws. But (happily) the danger at this time is minimal. Democrats are beginning to look at gun control as another "third rail" of politics. And certainly no gun control measure will get 60 votes in the Senate to break a filibuster.
So most conservatives and Republican primary voters will judge Giuliani on the basis of other issues and other criteria. Giuliani may or may not get the Republican nomination, but the result won't be decided by his position on gun control.
That's the reality, whether you like it or not.
THE main function of anti-gun demonRAT-created groups like this are PRECISELY to fly under the radar and make it SEEM as if the threat of new gun control laws, as Wiener says, "has receded in urgency", and that "the danger at this time is minimal".
By the way, the only people I've heard of that have the name Wiener, are inner-city, liberal Jews (NOT like our good friends at JPFO) that are as vehemently ANTI-GUN as any people on the f'ing PLANET.
Which is a real surprise, considering that the 6 million Jews that were slaughtered by Hitler in WWII, MIGHT have had a fighting chance to survive IF they had a right to keep and bear arms, which they didn't.
To say that the threat of new gun-control being passed is "NOT a deal-breaker for most conservatives and 2nd Amendment supporters in the 2008 Presidential election" is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE, and LUDICROUS at that.
I've been shooting and/or hunting since I was 8 years old, including in the Marine Corps (including, competitively) for 13 years, am a Benefactor Member of the NRA, have been a member of several different gun clubs, have a decent collection of all sorts of firearms, and have MANY friends that have the same interests, and NONE of them would even CONSIDER giving a northeastern-corridor, inner-city gun-grabber like RINO-rudy a PASS on running for the highest office in the f'ing land.
You simply don't know what in the hell you're talking about, OR, you have an anti-gun agenda. It's one or the other (or maybe both?).
