Rudy is dying here. Yikes.
Rudy lawyers the gun question, good idea in a Democrat debate it gets booed here
I have to agree with Rudy on the fact that insane folks should not have guns...and criminals should not have guns.
Rootie is taking a real beating tonight.
Rudy’s up.........on gun control.........”pass a written exam” mmm..........I am for aggressively enforcing gun laws that DO exist..........government CAN enforce reasonable gun control laws......
I am NOT liking his answers.......NY can have tougher laws than say Kentucky..........HUH?
Time for a REAL HUNTER in the White House!
I don’t use spices. I eat food naturally.
Criminal background, rootie? I had a carry permit in NYC for 19 years until you took it away from me and 27,000 other non-criminal NYers. You are a LIAR!!!!
“The answer to Romney is if you hire a company that uses illegal labor jobs will keep going to illegals.”
That is such an ignorant statement. I had (through Marshall Field Company that subcontracted a service to do in-house rug cleaning) for about 3 years the same guy come out to steam clean my rugs. He was Mexican, and it never ever once dawned on me when he came to clean my rugs whether he was legal or illegal. I figured, just like I am sure just about each and every one of you, that the company that hired him, hired a legal citizen. The last time he came to clean my rugs he was very agitated. I asked him what was wrong. Marshall Fields (a Chicago based chain of department stores) was being taken over by Macy’s out of New York. Macy’s had requested that the legality of all employees be verified and that included the subcontracted by Field’s rug cleaning business. He was mildly hysterical that they were doing so. He wouldn’t admit why, but I then knew why. He was one of them. He was an illegal alien who had lived in the U.S. for many years, had a family, and was about to be found out and lose his job. Now, you tell me how I, or Mitt Romney and his yard workers, or any of you would know whether someone was illegal or not, without asking each Mexican (or Polish, or whatever) worker whether they were legal or not, and then, I’m sure, if they were, they’d never tell you they were. They’d lie. So get off Mitt Romney’s back, especially when you spout such an unthinking, illogical, unkind attack on an honorable man who in no way was intentionally hiring illegals.
Rudith “I HATE GUNS!”
Booed a little bit.
It is going terrible for Rudy tonight.
Next question to Rudy on gun control: In 2000 you said that anybody who wants a gun should pass a test. Why do you think Americans should need to pass a test to exercise their RKBA? Rudy waffling on “reasonable regulations.” Criminal background....waffling....if regs go beyond that, they would be unconstitution. Ny might go beyond Kentucky.....2nd amd going to SCOTUS now, don’t believe it applies just to militia....
Overall good, but waffling.
“Rudy—getting booed on “reasonable regulations”.”
As he should be.

“ENFORCE” the Second Amendment...good job, Rep. Hunter!
Dear Mayor Giuliani...if tests are required to exercise gun rights, do you support tests to exercise voting rights?
Rooty doesnt understand one state cant tell you you cant own a gun..the 2nd pertains to all the states, not 49 of them.
Giuliani is a gun grabbing SOB!
Go Fred GO!
