Rudy: "...guns kill many more people than automobiles do..."

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy... You really ought to hire some people to research this stuff for you before you say such silly and thoroughly false things.

If you lived in NYC during the Dinkins administration - THAT WAS THE CASE! More people were dying from gun shot wounds than automobiles. I believe that is what Rudy is talking about. People could not walk the streets without fear of being shot at or mugged during the Dinkins administration. Don't compare the rest of the country with NYC during that time. NYC was a crime ridden hell hole and you were afraid to walk at night.

Understood. But it would be a mistake to support a presidential candidate who wants to treat every gun owner as a likely criminal. Nationally speaking, cars kill nearly twice as many people as guns. And cars aren't a Constitutionally protected right. :-)

"NYC was a crime ridden hell hole and you were afraid to walk at night."

Probably because NYC has laws that prohibit effective personal defense. You do know why the Sullivan Act was enacted and who it protected, right?
