However, his gun control policies did not contribute to that. The proof is in the fact that those policies have not been successful elsewhere.
Fred said there were a lot of things to like about NYC, but the gun control policies were not among them.
Rudy's response was really nonresponse. It was particularly unresponsive because the lawsuit against gun companies was tossed out by the higher courts, so it is hard to see how he is claiming that lawsuit as a successful crime fighting policy.
Rudy’s none-response speaks louder than words about what he REALLY thinks about the Second Amendment (its up to the states), and the Bill of Rights.
If the Right to keep and bear arms is up to the states, so is Freedom of speech, religion, etc.
An attorney who twists the argument to please his position!!
I lived in NJ during those years. After Mayor Dinkins, NYC was the murder capital, bordering on anarchy.
Rudy was the right man at the right time. He was electable, but still conservative enough on crime to save the city from its own liberalism.
Rudy gets no credit from the majority of New Yorkers. By the time of 9/11, Giuliani's approval rating was in the toilet and Dems were ready to take back Gracie Mansion.
However, the United States is not in the same shape as NYC. We do not need Rudy.
