The other day I listened to a talk show where the pitch was that that Giuilani's abortion stance was the critical issue. The truth is that people who hold proper moral values won't opt for abortions, and it has always been, just as abortions will always be in demand and provided, ilegally or not. Abortion is a moral dispute. Laws can and will be raised against it, but it is only through right values that it can be battled.
The freedom to protect yourself, your country, your loved ones, and your property through means of bearing arms is about rights. It is only through the passing of laws that rights can be battled. We'd better be careful who *cough* schwarzenegger *cough* we hand power. I'd love to trust Rudy, but the right to bear arms trumps all.
Abortion is not a legal issue. The right to bear arms IS. There is no comparison between the two, and the Second Amendment question is the important thing Republicans AND conservatives (whoever's going to vote to keep the Democrat out of the White House) should weigh.
Very nicely stated. While one can't prove a negative, in the art of rhetoric, from where does your conviction that Mayor Giuliani opposes firearm possession come?
Being Chief Exec of the USA does not necessarily carry the same powers as those of the NYC Mayor. I would like to think Mr. Giuliani has already made this differentiation.
