Giuliani Questioned About Gun Control (and stem cells)

Giuliani will be speakinig Mongolian by the end of the campaign season if he feels it will help him.

This is the guy who said he supports national gun registration and a national test to won a firearm. That is not necessarily in conflict with what he is stating now.

Somebody should ask himn to clarify this.

Notice the parsing, how near Rudy came to expressing his true opinion before he recovered in mid-sentence. Looks like they've been drilling him on these responses. Still very weak.

Nice take-----of course the Rudester's been drilled on his "positions."

Rudy has no principled positions----says whatever the campaign think will keep his numbers up.

Watch his handlers speak, as lapdog Rudy's mouth moves.

Shmucky Schumer says the same thing.

Giuliani (and for that matter all the other Republican candidates) should be asked which federal gun control law(s) he’ll commit to using the weight of his office to repeal.

I thought I'd mention that I've started creating a Rudy album over at a Photobucket account that I use for FR pix. You might want to bookmark it.

I thought that if some of these disappeared, we should have our own copies. Some of them are from major newspapers or magazines and when they pull them, you're out of luck.

You can go to that page and click the "URL Link" item below each picture and it will copy the URL to your clipboard, ready to paste in here at FR.

If you have some favorite Rudy pix to add to my list, post them or point me to them and I'll add the most popular ones to that album.

That's the best place to start, IMHO, but there are plenty of other laws that have no Constitutional basis.

"Giuliani Ghouliani earned a reputation for strictly enforcing gun laws while New York mayor" Big lies still work.

[El Gato]

I feel the real need for a gun far more in NYC than I do in the adirondacks!

At least a different sort of gun. An M240 machine gun would be appropriate for parts of NYC. Something like a .444 Marlin would be the thing in the mountains, although a simple 30-30 would be generally acceptable in both instances, as would an AK or SKS.

“It doesn’t matter if I believe in it or not - and I do - it is the Second Amendment,” Giuliani said. “I’m a strict constructionist. The Second Amendment says you have an individual right to bear arms.”

Like any good politician, he’s evolved the capacity to speak out of both sides of his face at once.
