I have to disagree. Mr. Giuliani has openly stated his understanding of Second Amendment rights as protecting individual RKBA. I've never heard him say he has intentions to disarm us. Any citation?
Rudy’s own words.” I know many people argue that keeping and bearing arms is federally guaranteed right as stated in the Second Amendment of the Constitution.
But even in the Second Amendment, it refers to firearms in the context of a well regulated militia, and well regulated is what we’re trying to accomplish.”
No he don’t want to disarm people. He just wants to make it so expensive that only the “proper kind of people” will have guns.
Rudy just needs to stay in NYC. We don’t want his kind of freedom spread around the country.

Even in his most recent reincarnation, he said that the 2nd Amendment protects a persons right to hunt and posess hunting guns not handguns for self defense. His intentions are best discerned by his past actions when he tried to sue the gun manufacturers out of business.

Excerpt from the last link:
"And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts."
Rudy's gun control stance is downright scary. I leave you with this photo.
He has not. He just mentioned “hunting”.
“I’ve never heard him say he has intentions to disarm us. Any citation?”
Giulianis rationalizing of New York Citys suit against the gun makers also tells something about his views. In justifying the lawsuit, Giuliani claimed that the gun makers were deliberately manufacturing many more firearms than can be bought for legitimate purposes of hunting and law enforcement.
No RKBA to be found.
What kind of a fool would directly tell the US that he intends to strip them of a fundamental constitutional right? No politician will ever say this, but we can still guage his intentions based on past actions and statements of belief.
"We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions and really stronger ones that exist for driving an automobile," he said in 1997.
He said what he did as mayor would have no effect on hunting. - What about self defense, sport shooting, our last resort against a tyrannical government?
The more guns you take out of society, the more you are going to reduce murder. The less you take out of society, the more it is going to go up. - This belief clearly indicates that he does not trust law abiding citizens to defend themselves, families and property.

"You got to regulate consistent with the second amendment. - How is this congruent with "shall not be infringed"?
