“Giuliani isn’t in favor of gun control. He was just supporting what his constituents wanted.”


It does not matter “what his constituents wanted”. The Constitution protects individual rights from the stupidity of “constituents”, just as it does from the evils of government. Are you sure you’re not a democrat? You sure don’t seem to understand what a constitutional republic is.

"... The Founders' intent in framing the Second Amendment is perfectly clear and undeniable. Thomas Jefferson wrote, "No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." Some anti-gun elitists declare this notion outdated. However, many constitutional scholars from this country's most prestigious universities agree that the Founders' intent is clear and irreversible: To "keep and bear arms" is a right for all law-abiding citizens. ..." - Charlton Heston, letter to the NY Times

You know, that's a great post. You would have been right at home here at FR during the pre-Bush years when this was a notably constitutional forum.
