He’s actually correct. Opposing the right to keep and bear arms strips the citizens of their right to protect themselves. Strengthening “law and order” would be the logical outcome of disarming the public. I don’t necessarily mean the kind of law and order you may be thinking of either. Remember, the state makes the laws.

Yep. Law and order. A police state that is. In fact, a good definition of a police state, is a country where only the police have guns.

What about disarming the criminals? Shouldn't that be the first priority rather than the general public?

There was a corporal from Austria with an odd moustache who ran on a "law and order" ticket in the '30s in Germany, and I'll be darned if he didn't win... He made the laws, and he gave the orders.

Without calling anyone names, Rudy has shown tendencies toward autocracy already.

Any firearm owner who has been paying attention isn't buying what he's selling.
