You are being disingeniuous. My recollection is that RG issued a press release within hours of the attack that identified shooter by name and origin. Although he did not characterize the shooting as a terrorist attack, there was no evdidence then or to this date establishing as fact that the gunman was anything other than a nut job. (I hate to tell you this, but WASP's don't have a monopoly on insanity.) And while RG did use the shooting as an excuse to advocate gun control, in this particular case he was right. Why? Because the 2nd Amemdment guarantees the right of American Citizens to bear arms. The gunman in this particular incident was not a United States Citizen and had only been in the Country for a couple of weeks on on a visitors visa yet was easily able to buy a firearm in Florida with no questions asked. The 2nd Amendment protects us, not temporary visitors from third-world cesspools.
All jihadis are nutjobs. And there absolutely was evidence this was a jihad:

I meant "never" in the course of the Giuliani-McCarthy press conference. I should have been more specific. But he never did use the word "terrorism", even though the political motives of the shooter were glaringly obvious and NYC landmarks had been recently targeted and attacked by terrorists.
He made a political decision to exploit this incident in favor of a pet cause of his, instead of telling the truth about the growing threat of radical Islam.
Your argument makes no sense. Laws passed that limit 2nd Amendment rights are aimed at US Citizens, are they not? How does limiting OUR gun rights solve the problem of "temporary visitors from third-world cesspools" using guns?
