He’s a lying POS when it comes to the 2nd Amd and the RKBA.

[maine-iac7]

Ah! Perfect = there ARE some things beneath the level insulting

[DTogo]

Rudy's a shooter and John's a Baptist.

Shameless pandering.

[Eaker]

I believe we should make each declared candidate the president of a homeowner's association during that timeframe. I'm guesing we'd see their true colors in that environment a lot more clearly than we see them on the campaign trail.

Hell of a good idea! Just not my subdivision.

"Rudy Giuliani told the National Rifle Association Friday that his own views on gun control have evolved in part due to the Sept. 11 attacks, which he said highlighted the importance of the Second Amendment right of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry guns."

That's going to attract a lot of flies.

[ElkGroveDan]

I beat you by 20 seconds.

[eldoradude]

I think he is lying.

Just another Arnold Schwarzenegger style liberal sheep wearing a Republican label.

[dynachrome]

I see you have a more modern model of the BS detedtor!

[neverdem]

I will believe that 911 changed Rudy's views on gun rights the day he proposes and gets behind letting all pilots and any passengers that want to be armed carry on flights. That's the only way the 2nd amendment would have helped that day.

What get's me is that he sticking to his "guns" on abortion. I can't tell if he had a genuine conversion about the Second Amendment, just like after some catastrophe there's a new increase in gun sales and concealed carry permits, or if it is just pandering. Drat!

Yo, Rootie, Alter this.

[Squantos]

Yes sir Rudy is a genuine POS in my book.........pandering to the presstitutes and the sheeple for votes. His history, facts, hard recorded history drops him from serious consideration by real conservatives IMO.

Hope yer well Sir, Stay safe ~

“I am so confused!!!! NOT!!! Run! Fred! Run!”

I couldn’t have said it better. Money and votes at this household will go to Fred Thompson. Some say Rudy would be better than Hillary, I know what to expect from my enemy and I hate being betrayed by my own side.

I love the analog BS meter. My old one from Radio Shack (1973) works a lot better than the digital (2003) Sony.

MEGADITTO!

[Blood of Tyrants]

You have got to be kidding.

[pgyanke]

Fine. Oppose Rudy , Elect Hillary. Imbecile

If that's the basis of your support for Rudy at this early stage... let's just say you should re-read your own tagline.

[ElkGroveDan]

Yeah even though they eat up batteries, its much easier to clean off all the splatter that happens on these Rudy threads.

Early 1980s, Giuliani in USDOJ, referring to mandatory waiting periods for handgun purchases, said they were “”sensible and moderate”.

As NY mayor, supported the 1993 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

In 1995, compared the National Rifle Association with “extremists.”

In 1997, while the Assault Weapons Ban was in effect, he called for a stricter federal ban on assault weapons and for handgun registration on the federal level and endorsed Clinton’s proposals for more stringent federal gun-licensing requirements.

In 1997 He endorsed amendments to city laws requiring gun owners to use trigger locks.

Giuliani quote - “Anyone wanting to own a gun should have to pass a written exam that shows that they know how to use a gun, that they’re intelligent enough and responsible enough to handle a gun.”

Lobo quote - “Anyone wanting to serve the people should have to pass a written exam that shows that they know, understand and respect the U.S. Constitution, that they’re intelligent enough and responsible enough to honor their oath to uphold and defend the same.”

In 2000, filed a lawsuit against gun manufacturers and distributors accusing gun companies of “deliberately manufacturing many more firearms than can be bought for the legitimate purposes of hunting and law enforcement.” [”hunting and law enforcement”]

“Rudy tells NRA that 9/11 altered his gun views”

2001?

2002?

2003?

2004?

2005?

2006?

2007, “[The right to carry a handgun] is part of the Constitution. People have a right to bear arms,” and that while tough gun-control laws were needed in New York City, “in another place, more rural, more suburban ... you have a different set of rules.”

2007, Supported the decision in Parker v. District of Columbia United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decision that struck down D.C.’s highly restrictive Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975. [His campaign officials declined to say whether Giuliani would still support the federal assault weapons ban, the imposition of federal rules on the states, or his claims about Southern states feeding weapons into the North.]

It’s scary that so many people are sucked in by his crap and his numbers are as high as they are!
