If what you describe happens again, if gun owners flock to some hopeless third party, then they will have *only* themselves to blame for the state they'll be in after a Democrat WH victory. Frankly, I think most gun owners are smarter than that.
How is losing gun rights to a Republican better than losing them to a Democrat?
Well, as I've tried to explain here previously, my opinion based on what Rudy has said is that our gun rights will remain unchanged. No one will take your gun under Rudy. He's made that clear.
Now, it is true that some New Yorkers lost gun rights when Rudy was mayor, just as some Chicagoans lost gun rights under Daily--when RONALD REAGAN was president.
Note that the restrictions in New York and Chicago continued under GWB.
The Rudybots don't seem to understand that...
Both Rudy and Hillary would sign a new and permanent Assault Weapons Ban. The one Caty Mccarthy (D Rep-NY) is pushing now would be a total ban on semi-autos including pure hunting rifles and shotguns. It would even ban a Ruger 10/22.
The 2nd Amendment vote isn't going to a Republican that will not veto that ban. Period.
