I have a very hard time figuring out how someone who claims to have a libertarian philosiphy could be a supporter of the gun-grabbing Arnold and Rudy.

I've already dealt with these issues 7 ways to sunday.
I didn't claim to be a libertarian. The only philosophy I claimed to have was a neoclassical one. Don't tell me what my priorities are.

The only "gun-grabbing" I've ever seen Arnold do has been in the movies, right before he blows some dude's head off.

As for Giuliani, I'm not an expecrt on all of his policies as mayor of NYC. But it's NYC for crissakes. Not much legitimate huntin' there. I know that Rudi cut crime down by more than half.

If the 2nd Amendment is not a litmus test of libertarianism, I don't know what is.

If you're talking about broad interpritation of the 2nd Amendment by extremely loose constructionists who want to use it as justification for owning any type of weapon imaginable in any environment, then no, I don't think that is the litmus test for libertarians. That is the litmus test for gun nuts who don't understand or respect constitutional law.
