I won’t follow a ‘leader’ that is anti gun, pro gay rights, and has a penchant for the same sort of personal life ‘adventures’ we witnessed during the Clinton era.

I think Rudy did a great job on 9/11 and afterwards. I admire how he dealt with the bums and crime in NYC as Mayor.

But when Rudy gets bored, personally or politically, he gets himself into way too much trouble.

No thanks. ONe of the keys to effective leadership is Stability.

Rudy’s anything but ‘stable’ as we all know.

What makes you equate some form of gun control such as registration or a permit mean that someone is anti-gun? People who live in large cities can call 911 and get a cop to their door in about 3 to 4 minutes. We have to apply for permits to own handguns. No one knows whether or not you have a rifle or shotgun in your home.

We have 8.5 million people in NYC--many are transient. Most people live in apartments with people beside them, over them, and under them. Urban people usually don't want their neighbors armed since they usually don't really know who their neighbors are. Anyone who wants some oversight over guns is always attacked on this forum as being against the 2nd amendment.

I personally like the idea of an armed citizenry but I would prefer that certifiably crazy people or career criminals not be armed to the teeth. We have a gang and drug posse problem in many areas of our city and we don't want cops and civilians getting blown away in a gang war. Guiliani is not a gun grabber--he enforces laws that citizens of NYC put in place. They are local laws not state or federal laws. Aren't true conservatives in favor of decentralized government and letting people have the freedom to run their own local governments? Do the people of NYC have to subscribe to the same code of behavior as the people of Dallas or the fate of the republic is at stake?
