The Empire State Building is such an important landmark... such an important symbol of America that, like so many other places in New York City, when a tragedy happens there, it receives a great deal of attention in the media.

Because of this transformation of perception, when this latest tragedy occurred, instead of having to defend New York City, we were able to focus national attention on the real problem, which is GUN CONTROL (emphasis mine).”

Rudy used this tragedy to push his gun CONTROL agenda.
Exactly. I keep asking the Rudy-Apologists what would Rudy do different than President Bush (or any other Republican)?
Push more gun control?
Sue gun manufacturers?
Expand sanctuary cities?
Encourage more illegal immigration by telling illegals that they are not really illegal?
Allow gays to openly serve in the military?
Make solid appointments to important positions like his recommendation to President Bush of Bernie Kerik to head Homeland Security?
Put an emergency command centers in the most likely targets (like he did in NY)?
It's absolutely outrageous to think that we need a LIBERAL to aggressively and successfully fight the WOT.
