A video of then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been posted at YouTube with the following caption:
On June 23, 2000 [New York City Mayor] Rudy Giuliani tried to justifiy the gun industry lawsuit to a concerned citizen.
Giuliani claims that gun manufacturers overproduce firearms. Giuliani claims that most police officers are in favor of gun control. Giuliani claims that gun control reduced New York City crime. Giuliani blames the rest of the country for having lax gun laws which let people buy guns elsewhere and bring them into the city. Compare this to the claims currently being made on Giuliani's Presidential campaign website:
Rudy Giuliani is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
The simple fact is that the extremist gun control agenda coming out of New York City did not start with current Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and it is up to gun owners everywhere to make sure it does not end up in the White House in 2008.[/align] _______________
"Rudy Giuliani is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment."
"The simple fact is that the extremist gun control agenda coming out of New York City did not start with current Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and it is up to gun owners everywhere to make sure it does not end up in the White House in 2008."
New York mayors and governors of PRMAhave one thing in common: They are all anti-gun.This Guiliani is one of the worst, right up there with Bloomberg. Neither he or Hillary get my vote. Sincerely hope that the Republican party can put forth a pro-gun candidate in 2008. Someone like Thompson.
This may take some of the wind out of Rudy's sails. His policecommissioner bud, Kerik, theguy he recommended for head of Homeland Security is in trouble with the law.
I agree with CalHunter. I hope that he will come to the conclusion he'll run.
For all the damage the Dems have done to this country in the past 30 years, I'd never vote for one of them.
