Since I am not a spokesman for Giuliani what do my opinions have to do with anything?

And there is certainly nothing false in my statement in any case.

Myths about the militias need to face the light of day. We won our independence because George Washington built a federal army along professional lines. He had nothing but problems with militia's which were notoriously unreliable and ineffective. This isn't a secret.

Western settlements continually clamored for more military aid from Washington against the Indians knowing full well the weakness of militias. This also is not a secret.

And you are not going to pretend that there is any militia today which is well regulated are you?

Militia's were important to the Founders as auxillaries necessary fot the security of a Free State not a force to war against one.

It seemed to me like you were supporting him in the primaries. If I were a casual gun-owner on the fence about whether or not to vote for Rudy, your posts would have convinced me not to. The Giuiani supporters would do much less damage if they simply admitted that Rudy is wrong on guns, and stressed his positives instead.
