Have you ever heard of a concept call a VETO? Changes the entire dynamic for a bill to get passed - from a simple majority to a two-thirds supermajority. So it damn well does matter that we don't have a gun-grabber in the White House.
Unlike GW, I AM aware of the veto. I also am aware that Rudy isn't strongly pro-gun (like I wish he would be). He's no gun-grabber; he's a wishy washy "I want to be elected" republican. Hillary, on the other hand, IS a gun grabber. And in either case the bills come from the congress and the senate, so that's where we in the NRA must concentrate our efforts. For 2008, yes, but especially in 2010.
Not correct. He took guns away from long-term NYC permit holders who never had Dinkins or Koch try to take them away.
He has spoken strongly in favor of assault-weapons bans and stringent restrictions on handguns.
And he filed suit against gun manufacturers.
He's a gun-grabber by any reasonable definition of such.
