While I have many issues with RG, I ask any RG supporter to please help me with but one issue........his stand on the 2A!
Certainly, I love and support the brilliance of our Constitution and the guarantees of ALL of our rights. As a patriot, Nam vet, and free law abiding citizen of this country........ I will NOT disarm, regardless of whom the president might be.
The 2A has always been important.....but my God folks, we are at War with much of the world.....a 'gun grabber' would have us naked before our enemy.
Again, I ask RG supporter to please help me with but one issue........his stand on the 2A!
I'm not a supporter.
Freeper Pharmboy had permits for two handguns in NYC for many years.
Rudy squeezed them out of him even though he had never had any problems.
So two gun permits that survived David Dinkins did not survive Rudy.
Not to mention, it would be difficult for any President to go against the second amendment. It's just that logically simple, unless you are one who has very little logic.
He has yet to speak of these things in the context of a Presidential campaign. It's worth noting that GWB would have signed the Brady Bill extension. I think the best you can hope for is a sincere position that it's a state an local rather than federal issue, recognition that it's an individual not collective right, and conservative judges. Of course Alan Dershowitz and Lawerence Tribe take the first two positions, and they'd regulate the heck out of individual ownership. In fairness, the President's constituency isn't the same as a mayors, but he's got explanations to make on this and other issues.
