Reasonable men and women may differ on the meaning of the Second Amendment.
When the Constitution was adopted, insane and violent criminals were not allowed to participate in the militia.
Reasonable men are prepared to explain the reasoning for their statements.
I explained in some detail why I felt that Rudy is very anti-second amendment, and I provided a link to Rudy's own column to back up my statements.
While reasonable people can disagree on the meaning of the second amendment, what does this comment criticizing the actions of gun manufacturers tell you about Rudy's views on the second amendment?
Deliberately manufacturing many more firearms than can be bought for legitimate purposes such as hunting and law enforcement...
The comment "such as" doesn't explicitly preclude other legitimate purposes, however New York City didn't just ban criminals from owning guns. Rudy's actions weren't targeted at just preventing criminals from owning guns. They were targeted at preventing all but a very select few which were able to get special government permission from owning guns.
When the Constitution was adopted, insane and violent criminals were not allowed to participate in the militia.
New York City doesn't just ban gun ownership by insane or violent criminals, and Rudy's efforts were also not targeted so that they only effected the ability of insane or violent criminals.
But I believe myself to be a reasonable person, and I'm more that willing to listen to as to why you feel that Rudy is not anti-gun or is only slightly anti-gun. But I will ask you to justify your views, and substantiate them with examples.
