Dr. Dean had an A rating from the NRA as governor, so when the left got mad at him, he argued that Vermont didn't need gun control. Rudy's argument is that local municipalities should decide gun laws and you need more gun control in New York City than in Kansas! It is a conservative position to give power to local governments and out of the hands of the federal government which is what Giuliani is arguing for.

You are correct - that is truly a horrible lie. We now have seen federalism turned on its ear for Rudy - that it is "states rights" to ignore rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

That would only be valid if NYC seceded from the Union. Last I checked, it hadn't, so Rudy's (and this person's) logic is absurd.

The right of the PEOPLE is not the same as the rights of any individual person. Certain persons can be forbidden guns without it interfering with the right of the PEOPLE.

Hence, it is entirely constitutional to restrict gun ownership to the sane, non-criminals, those who can see etc.
