Control Guns, Say Riordan And Giuliani
[FINAL Edition] The Washington Post (pre-1997 Fulltext) - Washington, D.C.
Date: Nov 29, 1993 Section: A SECTION Text Word Count: 256
Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan said California has a bill with a 15-day waiting period, well beyond the five-day waiting period of the Brady bill just passed by Congress. "It doesn't go far enough," Riordan said. "We need some very strict legislation to get guns out of the hands of teenagers." (1)

Hillary Clinton renews call for gun licensing and registration
NEW YORK (CNN) -- U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton renewed her call for tougher gun control legislation on Tuesday before an audience of newspaper publishers.
"We have to do more to stand up to those who refuse to believe the reality that guns do kill and that common-sense gun measures can make a difference," Mrs. Clinton said during a speech to the Newspaper Association of America's annual convention in New York.
"I believe we need a comprehensive plan to stop gun violence, and it is one of the reasons I am running for the Senate," the first lady said.
Mrs. Clinton, who is running for the seat of retiring Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-New York), added that she supports proposals that would require the licensing and registering of all new handguns purchased in the United States.
"The moms who are marching in Washington this Sunday have it right," she said, referring to the "Million Mom March" against gun violence scheduled for Mother's Day in the nation's capital.
March participants are also calling on lawmakers to pass gun safety legislation that has languished in Congress since last summer.
"We license drivers before they get behind the wheel to make sure they can drive safely. We register cars to make sure someone is responsible for every vehicle on the road. But we don't do the same for deadly weapons," she said.
Mrs. Clinton plans to attend the march with a delegation from New York.
If elected to the Senate, Mrs. Clinton said she'd work with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) on her bill that would require prospective gun buyers to first obtain a gun license by passing a background check and a safety course exam. The bill would also establish a national registry to record all gun sales.
Mrs. Clinton also announced her support for the creation of a "ballistic database" for all new guns, requiring gun makers or sellers to fire guns before sale and send that "ballistic fingerprint" to law enforcement.
Mrs. Clinton suggested that the idea -- proposed earlier this year by New York Gov. George Pataki (R) and included in the government's landmark legal settlement with gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson -- should be implemented nationally.
"What we would have is a national database of these images that law enforcement officers could use to quickly track down the origins of guns found at their crime scenes and the criminals who use them," Mrs. Clinton said.
The first lady reiterated her support to require trigger locks on handguns, to hold adults responsible for their children's use of guns, to raise the youth handgun ban from age 18 to 21, to limit gun sales to one per month per adult and to have the Consumer Products Safety Commission regulate guns.
"It doesn't make much sense that we regulate toy guns but not real guns," Mrs. Clinton said.
New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Mrs. Clinton's likely Republican opponent in the Senate race, shares many of her views on gun control.
For example, Giuliani's campaign staff specified that he also supports handgun licensing and a national registry of handguns. As mayor, Giuliani signed legislation requiring trigger locks whenever guns are sold in the city and outlawing the sale of toy guns that resemble real guns.
Giuliani also supported the federal assault weapons ban signed by President Clinton and supports Clinton's proposal for background checks at gun shows.
The NAA, which hosted Mrs. Clinton Tuesday, is a trade group representing papers responsible for 90 percent of the daily U.S. circulation.
"I'm a great fan of daily and even weekly papers," Mrs. Clinton told the audience, when asked for her professional advice.
"There are many issues that are of long term impact on our people and our economy, and it's very hard to break through all the other information that is out there to get the focus that a democracy needs," Mrs. Clinton said.
"I don't know how we do a better job of that," she continued. "Often times in the public arena, it's hard to muster the concern of people generally because the information is just not getting through."
Texas Governor George W. Bush is scheduled to speak at the NAA convention Thursday.(2)

Like Mrs. Clinton won’t demand gun control. Break time.
Hey pissant good job, but I think you may be beating a dead horse.
Remember just a while back when Rudybots were posting almost every 5.3 minutes? And demanding we follow Rudy as no one else could beat Clinton, and if we didn’t it meant we were not very smart.
I thnk his ship is starting to feel the water coming in, and as others start to announce he sinks more every day. IMHO
They are nearly identical, frankly, when it comes to guns. Except Hillary has not been as loud about her gun grabbing.
Yes, I know. But we have to get all the facts straight to refute his current lies.
Oh yeah, that might work. Just as well as Mediscare, and Social Security that the government controls run so smoothly and cost effective.......
From a practical standpoint, national gun licenses, like national medical licenses, seem a non-starter. That would cut-off money for the states, money with which they would be loathe to part. Additionally, there’s that principle of Federalism. But ... as in boxing and supreme court decisions, you never know.
Riordan was the one who proposed “rounding up guns door-to-door.”
Sorry Guiliani’s version of supporting the Second Amendment is statement of how he reduced crime in New York by seizing guns. See his website!
The only word he can actually read in the 2nd Amendment is “regulated.” And not in the way founders meant it, either...
castration?
LOL
Its an utter embarassment that the leading GOP primary candidate today is worse than Patty Schroeder and Hillary on the 2A.

Rooty is to the left of Bill Clinton on welfare reform. He called Clinton’s welfare reform bill Unconstitutional because it discriminated against illegal aliens.
That's right...tough luck. When the Republicans are serious about winning without compromising Republican values, I'll consider voting Republican. But if the nominee is a RINO, then the Republican Party can go pound sand because they're not getting my vote.
Ok, so the street gangs will register their guns too????
