New York City Mayor-elect Rudolph W. Giuliani said he advocated a "uniform licensing system with real teeth in it," including background checks, lessons, tests and required renewals every two years to "show you're stable, you're healthy, you're able to handle a gun."
"Anything we can do . . . that will reduce the number of weapons in the country will help cities in particular and help police officers," said Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney. "Handguns should be in the hands of police officers."
Oops... meant to ping you to the above.
It was actually an AP account of Giuliani's (and Riordan's) appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."
