(s)Yeah, because that whole 'freedom' thing is so way over rated...(/s)
Either the place tonight is full of trolls or there are a lot of ignorant people here. As I have repeatedly said, the great Ronald Reagan, whom no one can fault for not being a conservative ALSO supported "reasonable restrictions" and signed the automatic weapons ban into law -- probably the most restrictive federal gun control law ever passed. If even he was not a Second Amendment absolutelist, claiming that Giuliani's support for the Second Amendment, support for an individual rights interpretation of the Second Amendment, and support for "reasonable restrictions" as did Ronald Reagan, does not by itself take away Giuliani's claim to be a conservative. You can fault him for many, many other things, but you cannot fault him for supporting "reasonable restrictions" as has every other conservative President before and including the present one who has said he will sign Carolyn McCarthy's assault weapons ban if it reaches his desk. Those who would support an unelectable Republican -- thereby throwing the election to the Democrats -- or sit 2008 out because Giuliani is not a Second Amendment absolutist -- also giving the presidency in 2008 to either Hillary or Obama -- is doing the country absolutely no good. You're never going to get the 28,000 gun laws that are already on the books erased. All we ask is that no additional laws be passed and someone who will appoint judges who will not impose additional restrictions by judicial fiat.
