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.

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.

I think it has been conclusively shown that taking guns away from legal permit holders does nothing to halt crime - instead, it tends to increase it since criminals are less likely to face an armed target.

According to FReeper Pharmboy, you're DEADWRONG.

Rudy started a campaign to get legal carry permits off the street. I know--I had a legal carry for 19 years in NYC but could not renew under Rudy's watch.
