“didn’t Rudy use that as an opportunity to enforce more gun control measures?”
You are sounding more and more like a liberal. When you have no answer to the subject, simply change the subject and address an issue that was not brought up in the discussion.
How typical of an unarmed man in a battle of wits.
I'm referring to how Rudy responded to this.
Ten years ago this month, on February 24, 1997, a Muslim identified as Ali Abu KAMAL waged his own jihad from the 86th floor observation deck at the Empire State Building. KAMAL, a 69 year-old Palestinian from Ramallah "made some sort of statement about Egypt" before he began shooting at tourists killing one person and wounding six others. He then shot himself in the head and died 5 hours later at a New York hospital. Witnesses stated that during the shooting spree, KAMAL asked potential victims whether they were from Egypt. Then-mayor Rudolph Giuliani attributed the actions of the gunman to his mental state of mind, while police officials later concluded that KAMAL "acted out of rage at monetary loss."
"The Mayor was concerned about gun control issues, and determined that this was a case that cried out for stricter gun control," she said. "After discussions this morning at the meeting, he had the staff reach out to Congresswoman McCarthy, and to other gun control advocates. A few calls were made, and advocates pretty much organized themselves to come. They have an extraordinary communications network."
This very incident was referred to in his address to the Citizen Crimes Commission.
"And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts."
So in response to a shooting by a Muslim terrorist, Rudy's response is to call for stricter gun control? Yeah, that's the ticket.

How is referring to Giuliani's response to an actual shooting by a Muslim terrorist changing the subject from Rudy's record on terrorism?
