All I need to know is that Rudy will not be good for my guns. That alone will keep me from voting for him.
Believe me Rudy will not touch the gun issue. He's more concerned about the WOT and the economy than social issues.

I DO NOT EVEN OWN A GUN, but if he is not good for your guns, I also will not vote for him! On that my friend you have my word.
(you never know when you may in fact need a gun)
Did you hear his mouthpiece on Bennett last Friday? REALLY mealy-mouthed answers to the gun questions - something like, "Rudy is a strong believer in the second amendment", without saying what his interpretation of the second amendment is (militia only, not private ownership I assume). Came across as pretty noncommittal. And I still have problems with his management of his personal life and promises.
Isn't the gun lobby one of the most competent and powerful interest groups in the nation?
I think you can trust that the normal interplay of politics will not make this an issue during the term of any President in the foreseeable future, so I would not make it affect my Presidential vote.
I am against gun control but I will admit it's far from my number one issue.
