I`m trying, I really am.
1-Hillorat will be worse on gun control then any Republican. Why? Cause our base will not let him do otherwise while hers will demand it.
2- Right now the most important issue is the War. He`s on the side of the angels , why try to knock him out now?Plenty of time for that later.
3- He said that he believes that the 2nd amendment is unbreakable with some reasonable local controls. Most Americans can live with that.
4-If he comes out for increased gun control, it`s over, he won`t win the nomination

Rudy supported Bill Clinton's call for more gun control in 1997 after a shooting incident at the Empire State Building. So I don't buy that argument.

2- Right now the most important issue is the War. He`s on the side of the angels , why try to knock him out now?Plenty of time for that later.

Quite the contrary. We are being told that Rudy's momentum is invincible and that the front-loaded primary schedule next year makes it impossible to stop him. So we have to start now - due to the very words of his supporters.

3- He said that he believes that the 2nd amendment is unbreakable with some reasonable local controls. Most Americans can live with that.

Except that with the 1997 shootings, he supported the fedgov imposing standards HE WANTED on other states. That means he is not being truthful about federalism and gun laws. Plus, I never found the state-by-state exemption in the 2nd Amendment that he is talking about.

4-If he comes out for increased gun control, it`s over, he won`t win the nomination

He won't win either way. That's the entire problem.
