First thanks for calling me "loopy."

Second you said "Mayor of NYC Rudy says nothing about Muslim aliens, or aliens at all. "

Please re-read the following from the Giuliani archives which demonstrate that Mr Giuliani was focusing on two important (to me at least) factors 1) the shooter was a Palistinian from Gaza and 2) an alien aka 'not a US citizen':

....................

"Good morning. It has been a week since the terrible tragedy that happened last Sunday at the Empire State Building. And even as we grieve for the families and our hearts and prayers go out to them, perhaps we can use this senseless tragedy to re-energize the fight for gun control.
A man came to this country from Gaza City on December 24th of last year. Ali Hassan Abu Kamal first arrived in New York and then traveled by plane to Melbourne, Florida, where he checked into a motel."

snip

"To purchase a gun in the State of New York you have to give your full name, your date of birth, your residence, your occupation. You have to prove that you're a United States citizen..."

That's a better than the NYT article previously posted which doesn't mention the palestinian connection.

Still, taking the facts you cite, Rudy didn't call for increased enforcement relative to aliens, he called for federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions -- and really stronger ones -- that exist for driving an automobile....The United States Congress needs to pass uniform licensing for everyone carrying a gun. . Ban the ugly looking rifles, restrict handgun ownership, and license all gunowners. Nothing about aliens in the solution. And from his statements last week, he'd do the same thing today. Though it may get him some votes in the general election, not many since this is the dem position, maybe a touch to the left of it, it is a loser for Rudy in the primaries.
