WE citizens can NEVER give a pass to an individual running for high office when it comes to our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS (not to mention, a pass on such an individual's support for the MURDER of the unborn).
His UN-American, Police-State position on firearms and our 2nd Amendment rights (among other issues vitally important to real conservatives) IS a DEAL BREAKER.
If you were a true conservative, a gun owner, and a true supporter of the Constitution (not just the parts you like or agree with), then you'd know that.
Just say NO to gun-grabbing dems and RINOs.
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.
