The bottom line is destroying the DNAZI.
Then we can worry about third parties and litmus tests.
I have a hard time keeping track of them all, myself. I'm tempted to start a searchable database, but I'd have scaling issues.
As for the gun grabbers doing "nothing" on gun control, you're already behind the times, my friend:
"H.R. 1022: To reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1785142/posts
The guns rights people had a good run there for a few years but now the balance of power has shifted in D.C. Are you seriously telling me Giuliani wouldn't gleefully sign an "assault weapons" ban that a Rat Congress and Senate sent to him?
Joe Lieberman?
If Lieberman had made it through the primaries you bet they would have supported him.
Honestly - I agree with you.
No One - No One - will ever take that right away from me.
No President will ever challange the 2nd Amendment - no way.
FYI - a great new documentary is coming out:
http://www.secondamendmentdocumentary.com/
Make sure all your mates check it out.
Proof that Reagan was, indeed, wrong sometimes.
By the way, has Mitt Romney ever explained in detail *why*he changed his mind on abortion?
The second amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting.
..oh definitley not.....being the the Beltway gives you alot of perspective....but then again....many and I'm not saying "you", in the beltway are far removed from what mainstream American thinks....I thought Rudy was a dead duck but he is totally charasmatic and one of the best speakers out there.....very influential.....
Yeah right. You liberal FReepers always seem to have a difficult time making much sense to us conservatives. Know wonder you zing me, but don't ping me. Best you stay away, chickenlittle.
Oh make no mistake
If it comes between Rudy and Hillary, I will hold my nose, vote for Rudy and hope for the best.
I imagine most everyone else with a brain will also.
Rudy took guns away from long-term permit holders.
No President will ever challange the 2nd Amendment - no way.
Rudy suppored a gun-control bill proposed by Bill Clinton in the aftermath of a shooting at the Empire State Building in 1997.
Rudy seems to think that if we all can go duck hunting, our 2nd Amendment rights are safe and secure. Meanwhile, he took guns away from long-term NYC permit holders - and you know how hard it was for those people to get them in the first place.
well if you are in CA, that you find rudy palatable doesn't surprise me, as with people from NYC. but my roots are in PA and OH where my relatives are, and they are equally unenthused about Rudy and while they worked for Bush [their first political campaigns ever, and i am talking people in their 40s, not young kids] would not do the same for a rudy candidacy. not only is rudy a very flawed candidate with a ton of baggage that WILL be used against him, i don't see him winning against Hillary. The lib dems i know, while not being enthused about her, will vote for her over Rudy.
Ditto.
I understand what you're saying. That's why I said we disagree, strongly. How much clearer could I be. Rudy wasn't a conservative in the 50`s, 60`s, 70`s, 80`s 90`s or here in the 21st century either. By any standards of 50 years ago, or 50 years from today. Got it now? I hope so. Thanks.
Let me guess - you did not live in NYC in the late 80's or the early 90's.
If you had - you wouldn't be so quick to crash on Rudy's moves.
NYC was completely out of control - I challenge you to identify one single law abiding gun owner in NYC whose arms were "taken away"..
No way - it did not happen.
I wonder if everyone here realizes that under Rudy, NYC residents had to apply for permission to own a SHOTGUN to keep in their home? Permits were needed and rather large fees had to be paid.
How many of you in a red state would like to be forced to apply to the government to have a permit to keep a shotgun or a deer rifle in your house, much less a handgun?
And the police could come to your house and seize your gun any hour of the day or night without due process.
Reading the post I responded to should answer that question.
Sorry Jake
It did happen..people with semiautomatic rifles..not just AR-15s and such..but Ruger 10-22 squirrel hunting rifles and other similar hunting rifles had NYPD detectives at their doors to ask them to get the guns out of the city.
