Comments on: Giuliani Will "Clarify" Views To NRA

Presidential Hopeful Seeks To Improve Contentious Relationship With Gun Group

I thought you liberals were all about choice? You don''t want to give me a choice on where to send my kids to school. And you certainly don''t want to give me a choice to own a firearm to protect myself and my family. What is it with you people? Firearms certainly aren''t for everyone, but neither is having kids or driving a car. Do my background check, and then BUTT OUT !!! As long as someone is not prohibited from owning a gun (i.e. felon, mental health history, illegal alien, etc...) it''s none of your *** business if I own a firearm. Lock me away for life if I commit a crime with it, but until then, don''t give me this public safety garbage. You libs simply can''t choose not be a part of something and then let it be. If it''s something you don''t like, you have to try to make it illegal. Look in the mirror the next time you call someone a fascist!

gkc99-so let''s assume you''re right and the forged documents were planted by some neoconscum....Dan was "rather" stupid to have run with the story without verifying the info wasn''t he? Oh yea....Bush brought down the twin towers too I suppose???

You ppl kill me....he hasn''t even spoken yet and you''re aleady salavating that he''s going to flip flop. I hope he doesn''t....it''s about time a politician stands for his/her beliefs regardless of the endorsement it may lose. If I''m right and he stands his ground, I''ll be back later for an apology.

Rudy will be listened to politely, as all candidates are when they are invited to speak before the NRA, but he will be viewed with a very skeptical eye and ear. Yesterday''s actions speak louder than today''s words. Gun owners of both parties have been flat out lied to for decades by most politicians. If Rudy is going to say that local jurisdictions should be in charge of deciding gun policy, as the story suggests, then he will be dismissed as a candidate as soon as he leaves the room. Local ordinances made by idiots who don''t understand or respect freedom is the reason why gun owners are legal in some places, but a felon just down the road. States, not Congress or cities should decide their own gun laws based on a SCOTUS affirmation of the 2nd Amendment as a civil right, which will be coming shortly. You nazi libs better prepare yourselves, because despite your best socialist efforts, FREEDOM will soon prevail once again.

Guns kill people like the delete button deletes data. Neither of those are true. It takes a person acting on the delete button to delete data. Having the delete button is very beneficial, and it is only when the idiot behind the delete button uses it unwisely that harm comes.

Sorry to confuse your thought process with logic.

The NRA did not oppose any bill which only "made it harder for felons to purchase guns." The bill(s) in question had serious flaws which made purchase and ownership of guns by law-abiding citizens more difficult and clearly "infringed" on their rights. The media likes to portray such events in a way to demonize the NRA. The NRA is truly the most effective CIVIL RIGHTS organization in America and has consistently supported ENFORCEMENT of the thousands of gun laws regarding criminal possession and use of firearms while protecting the rights of the law-abiding citizen to have the means of self-defense. The NRA is also the largest and most effective group in the nation in regard to gun safety education and firearm training.
Giuliani cannot get away with his suggestion that gun laws should be determined locally. An American citizen does not and must not lose his rights depending on where in the nation he happens to live or visit. Giuliani is guilty of abusing the rights of citizens in New York City by enforcing extreme restrictions on firearm ownership and use and he did an extreme disservice to our nation by being party to lawsuits against legitimate firearm manufacturers and dealers for the criminal misuse of their products. If continued, such lawsuits would effectively put every firearm manufacturer and dealer in America out of business in spite of making and selling a legal product under the most extreme regulation imposed on any industry or business in America.
