Washington Post - Nov 29, 1993 (citing Giuliani's appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press.")New York City Mayor-elect Rudolph W. Giuliani said he advocated a "uniform licensing system with real teeth in it," including background checks, lessons, tests and required renewals every two years to "show you're stable, you're healthy, you're able to handle a gun."
"Anything we can do . . . that will reduce the number of weapons in the country will help cities in particular and help police officers," said Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney. "Handguns should be in the hands of police officers."
And one of those stable police officers went and killed 6 citizens just the other day.
