Did you ever see a headline: “Giuliani delights anti-gun backers?”

"When Thompson visited Miami earlier in the day Friday, though, it turned out not to be the best day for his Second Amendment pitch. On Thursday, a Miami-Dade police officer was shot to death while making a traffic stop, and three other officers were wounded, by a man wearing body armor and firing an assault rifle." Well, the media would love to spin it as a "bad day" for Thompson to announce his support for the 2nd amendment, but I think it's a GOOD day. It underlines the importance of every citizens constitutional right to bear arms and protect themselves from the nut-bar Islamo-wacko cult the multi-cult(ure) liberals have opened the doors of this nation to.
It shows us all that we are only as safe as we make ourselves, and if that means strapping on a shoulder holster, buckling a rig around our waists, or a woman slipping a snubby in her purse, it's our RIGHT. It is NOT a right for every crook and terrorist in this country to feel safe knowing that the general public isn't capable of defending themselves, a dream only backwards thinking liberals think is a perfect world.

I'm sure this guy is on Americas most wanted list! Criminals carrying illegal firearms have nothing to do with the 2nd. Or unregistered.

Thompson didn't waiver from his stand when asked about the shooting. "I do not think that abridging Second Amendment rights is the answer to street crime in America," he told reporters in Miami. "To disarm law-abiding citizens" won't help, he said. I agree with you, Nathan. When I see a story like this shooting in Miami, I do a mental inventory of my guns and ammunition, and wonder if it is enough, not whether it is too much.
Disarming the law abiding citizen is not going to help matters when the criminals pull out weapons and start blasting away.

No no no, Fred once voted in a manner that might, out-of-context, be construed as an anti-Gun vote, so this article is obviously a complete frabrication. La la la I can’t hear you.

That’s our problem right there. We aren’t pro-gun. We are pro-Bill of Rights. No politician who can’t read a simple sentence and can’t comprehend it’s meaning doesn’t deserve the position of president and it’s complexities.

Well said. The 2nd Amendment is as much about power and trust as it is about the right to arms. If you trust the people and believe they should have power to counterbalance the powers of the government, then you support an individual rights view of the 2nd. If you distrust the people and only want government employees to have power then you ignore the plain language of the Constitution to infringe on the people’s rights.

Isn't an assault rifle an illegal firearm? The whole assault rifle thing is made up by anti-gunners to make people think that semi-automatic rifles are full-auto. Then the sheeple who are frightened of a .22 caliber revolver are terrified of these imaginary rifles that can fire 1,000 rounds a minute, hit a postage stamp a mile away and shoot down airliners.

Thompson spoke at the county party's Reagan Day fundraising dinner to a packed room at Spartan Manor in New Port Richey. LOL Yeah, I bet that room was packed alright.
