****When a National Rifle Association member opposed a ban on assault rifles in 1994, Mr. Giuliani really got annoyed.
Now the reason why the N.R.A. has lost all credibility is statements like that, he said. By definition these are attack weapons. They are used for offense. It really is absolutely astounding that the N.R.A. continues to have influence in areas in which they make no sense at all.****
NRA members should have called Giuliani out with this past statement.
“I already play a Republican playing a Democrat playing a Republican.”

But But But....9/11 changed Rudy’s views about the RKBA. And he now has so much more in common with the NRA than the NRA which “has lost all credibility”.
This guy is a dyed in the wool gun grabber who believes the 2nd Amendment is about duck hunting (if you catch him on a good day). He can’t go away quickly enough. Thankfully with the socons and 2nd Amen. crowd against him he will, but it’ll be a few months down the road.
“In 1994, Mr. Giuliani applauded President Bill Clinton for banning assault rifles and urged Congress to enact physical and written tests and stringent background checks for prospective handgun owners. He also saluted the Clinton health care plan as doing some pretty good things and boasted that New York offered universal health care, not least for illegal immigrants.”
The next time some party hack breathlessly poses their favorite trick or treat greeting: “But do you want Hillary?!”
remind him/her that there’s really no substantive difference between the two on the the issues.
This comes from the NY slimes which has printed an opposition research report as a new story, simple as that. Please look past who the target is and see the truth here. This is the ratmedia providing a massive contribution to Hillary Clinton. She didn’t have to pay for a word. I do op search. Believe me this was NOT an easy report to put together. Someone had to listen to four years of weekly shows of about two hours. This report would have cost 30 to 40 K if obtained legitimately.
