Thanks for the poing garv.
Dervish, thanks for demonstrating the pro-Rudy people are as loopy as the anti-Rudy people.
No, I don't want to give firearms to Muslim aliens, or any other kind of alien.
I asked for information because it's my sense that shoud Mayor G truely become the Mayor of America, he'd use incidents like the Utah shooting to increase firearm regulation.
I've excerpted a bit from garv's link below, and I'm open to reading more.
Mayor of NYC Rudy says nothing about Muslim aliens, or aliens at all.
He contends that it wasn't a security issue, NYC apparently never having heard of metal detectors, rather Florida's fault. And he calls for stricter regulation. Without mention of aliens. I mention that again because I don't care if aliens are barred from purchasing firearms, let them become citizens and then the 2nd amendment will protect them.
From the little bit I've read, as someone who splits his time between Illinois and Wisconsin, I think Mayor of America Rudy would do the same thing as Mayor of Chicago Daley in the wake of the Utah incident. Use it to increase regulation.
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."
