Q: What about...? Answer: 9/11
Q: ...? Answer: 9/11
I'm sick of this BS. Pretty soon we will be hearing how 9/11 changed his views on abortion too (and gay marriage).
Who has the link for that pic of Giuliani's campaign HQ (the "converted" 7-11)?

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.
Facing a group that he once likened to "extremists," Giuliani sought to temper his past strong support for national gun control laws by saying he could no longer support a lawsuit he filed as New York mayor in 2000, which was designed to hold gun-makers liable for gun violence.
Giuliani said "there have been subsequent intervening events -- Sept. 11 -- which casts somewhat of a different light on the Second Amendment and Second Amendment rights. It doesn't change the fundamental rights, but maybe it highlights the necessity for them more."
Giuliani has built his presidential campaign on convincing Republicans that his performance after the Sept. 11 attacks shows he is the strong leader America needs -- but it was the first time he had linked his personal views on gun control to the terror attacks.
The lawsuit -- which ironically was being debated in a New York appeals court Friday as well -- was one of the sharpest points of disagreement between Giuliani and the gun–rights lobby, which he criticized as President Bill Clinton's leading Republican ally in pushing for a national assault weapons ban.
Giuliani rival John McCain also criticized the former mayor's tactics Friday, calling it a "particularly devious effort to use lawsuits to bankrupt our great manufacturers. A number of big-city mayors decided it was more important to blame the manufacturers of a legal product than it was to control crime in their own cities."
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson also addressed the meeting of about 400 NRA members, winning by far the...

Rudy is a total fraud!

Counselor: Now, shall I call the circus?
Anchovy: No! No, no. I like your idea of, of making the move, um to lion taming via easy stages, say via insurance, or, or banking.
Counselor: Banking?
Anchovy: Banking, yes, banking, I see it now. It’s a man’s life, isn’t it? Travel, excitement, decisions affecting people’s lives, romance, thrills.
Counselor: I’ll put you in touch with a bank.
Anchovy: Yes.
(nervous pause as the counselor dials the rotary phone.)
Anchovy: Er... Probably, probably, You know, er I’d like a couple of days to think about it, ‘cause it is a big decision... er... Or, or maybe, maybe a week at most, you know. But I do want to make this decision to be the right one. I’d like to do banking, obviously. (continues muttering nervously to himself)
Counselor: (turning to camera) It’s sad, isn’t it? But this is what accountancy does to people. The only way that we can fight this terrible debilitating social disease...
Anchovy:I only want to be famous! I only want to see my name in lights!
Fairy (EI): And so you shall!
They are no longer governing and are now running for office again!
Lest we forget...
A persons past makes the person, promises are...well just promises.
“”Your right to bear arms is based on a reasonable degree of safety,” he said....A person’s home is their castle. They have the right to protect themselves in their own home.”
What I hear is, you can keep guns at home but no carry, plus “reasonable and common sense” safety regulations like microstamping, ballistic fingerprinting, mandatory training, trigger locks, storage laws, insurance, and on and on.
Nope, Rudy, I need a long speech from you about RKBA and the second amendment, preferably delivered right after your first CMP match, shot with a black rifle with bayonet lug and flash hider.
Some of us can maintain buoyancy without a "life preserver"!
Guiliani is operating under old media rules.
One way communication.
Limited distribution of prior records.
Poor resources for discussion.
This is why pandering during primaries and shifting to the mythical center in general elections no longer works.
Rudy Guilian thinks he still has dan rather or walter cronkite to lie every night without opposing views.
Shhhhhhhh.......
Gosh, what a Revelation to behold! /s
When the Lord strikes him blind I’ll buy that analogy.
I think before Thompson’s surge, Guiliani thought he was comfortable being pro-gun control and a second amendment is for sporting spin.
The Police Chiefs were spining a demand for the AWB, Brady II is back on the radar, and Guiliani was safe to ignore gun rights as much as he ignores protecting marriage.
The fact he did this just shows how “in crisis” mode camp guiliani is. If this keeps up his donors will go back to giving money to HILLARY.
No kidding. Rudy on guns, Romney on babies, Thompson on CFR. What they are really saying though is I'll listen to you. Because they know if they don't they'll have their feet held to the fire for 4 - 8 years. So what can they really offer? Will Rudy really veto any federal gun legislation coming from a Rat Congress in the face of the next outrageous shooting? (They are coming for the guns) Will Romney really appoint conservative judges? (They are coming for the stem cells) Will Fred veto additional Democrat campaign funding regulations designed to suppress free expression? (The are coming for the internet) And for each of the candidates, as the President of a minority party what are willing to bargain away in the process of protecting these rights? The question isn't who is the "real" conservative but rather which of these guys do conservatives have real influence over. When conservatives need to pitch a fit again - and it will happen with any of them- who will jump the highest? For me anyway, there's this question. Which one of these guys needs conservatives the most?
So?
My vote he has not!
A personal decision that I am pleased to hold and appreciate the directive to maintain....while I still can.
Not.
