Yeah. I’m not a big gun-rights nut. I have a hunting rifle and a handgun for personal protection (and a CCP). But the broader issue for me is that Giuliani is willing to use those methods to further a liberal cause. No telling what he’d do if he were President. He certainly wouldn’t do anything I’d like, or care what I thought about it. But he’d be in control of the DOJ, suing everyone he didn’t agree with.

You don't have to be a "gun-rights nut" to see the danger in Rudy getting power.

The 2nd Amendment is the teeth in the Bill of Rights. It's not just about mounting a successful challenge to a foreign invasion, ya know.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
That also means our OWN government, when it becomes destructive of the security of our free Nation. Gun-grabbers are out to disarm Americans so that there is no threat to their power. The Founders were wise and foresaw that possibility too. That's not a "nutty" position -- it's built right into the Constitution.
