Giuliani on Gun Control

[letsmoge]

gun control means being able to hit what you are aiming at. like this guy, a well placed 5.56mm round directed at rudys head would make new york a safer and better place.

[kongman74]

Well if Rudy understood the 2nd Amendment he would have done more to reinstate the right of New Yorkers to keep and bear arms for defense of themselves or the nation, especially handguns. Rudy has just told every gun owner in America that he will fuck them over good as president.

[DCUPtoejuice]

Rudy is obviously for protecting your consitutional rights when it is convenient to do so. Thanks Rudy, now F-off.

[troyg19]

UNDERSTAND IT? Ignorant Idiot, Its to protect us from people like you and the government!

[NRAFourever]

Yea, ELGORDON, your rite! The LIBS just use STASTICs and other 'facts' to confuse the issue: OUR CONSTUTIONAL RIGHTS to have as many guns as we wan't to protect oursefves from the getto blacks who want to invad. Wayyne LaPearre is my HEROE!

[Watcher3223]

Your tasteless sarcasm and mock impersonation are perhaps the reason why your account has been closed.

As for statistics from independent, verifiable sources, they tend to favor a pro gun view.

[ElGranChingon]

HERE is the NRA:

"I once had to go from the operating room to tell a couple that their little boy was dead--shot while playing with his father's handgun. The mother collapsed into tears. The father, an NRA member, did not cry but became visibly angry, saying 'I taught the dumb kid how to use it right.'" Hemenway 2004:88

Evil pieces of shit.

[Watcher3223]

Your citations from Hemenway are BS by themselves because it's a source that's biased towards a gun control viewpoint. The data can be skewed to reflect favor to it rather than tell the honest truth.

How about data from an independent source that's neither pro or anti?

The FBI Bureau of Justice Statistics shows data that guns have a positive benefit to society by deterring crime: criminals do not want to get shot at by their victims.

[ElGranChingon]

Hemingway's _Private Guns, Public Health_--all the statistics you'll need for a long time, as well as skilled refutations of the standard gunnutter-cited bullshit 'research.' Read it and weep. Oh, and we'll be coming for your guns soon, very soon.

[ElGranChingon]

"Look it up" WHERE, you moron? You've clearly just heard this around the Neanderthal Retard Asshole grapevine because there ARE no respectable studies on this phenomenon that support the ridiculous claim you make. WHY DON'T YOU TRY READING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WAYNE LAPIERRE'S TALKING POINTS, you ignorant snot rocket?

[job1181]

LMFO... oh well at least he knows everyone down here in Texas won't buy his bullshit. Oh well he can have Texas' guns when he and his U.N. "peace keepers" pry them from our cold dead fingers... after we've mowed down wave after wave of them.

[RoofFiddler]

I love it when people say "I understand and respect the Second Amendment" in the same breath as trying to rationalize their own desire to kill it.

[ElGranChingon]

Please, we're suppposed to believe your fairy tale about saving your family with your gun? The evidence suggests that the vast majority of people who tell such stories are hugely exaggerating or actively misrepresenting the facts.

[yesitsfast]

You might want to check the statistics. Guns used in preventing crimes are disproportionately higher numbers than guns used in the commission of crimes. Look it up. This is a statistic the gun control people conveniently overlook.

[RoofFiddler]

I love people who colloquially cite "the evidence" or "statistics" but then fail to actually do so.

[ElGordo911979]

96.9% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

[waypasthadenough]

I totally agree with rudy. One set of laws for New yawkers and another set for the rest of us. New yawk is overpopulated. Rudy needs to round a few million of them up and put them on the first garbage scow out of town, especially the ones who vote for Hitlery and chuckie.

[hotsauce45acp]

Gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens.

[tatry21]

Rudy is gonna abort the second ammendment.

[peengli]

This is so sad. This liberal wants to take away my right to protect my family. I saved my wife and three children from a burglar one night because I had the right to protect myself with a gun. He wants to take that away. Gun control only hurts law abiding citizens. It empowers criminals by disarming the citizenry. Since when does a criminal or an individual contemplating a crime stop to consider what laws he might be breaking?

[NHRestin]

Sounds like he took a few lessons from John Kerry when he decided to run.

[guitarmole]

Basically Guiliani states New Yorkers are less capable of using their brains and handling themselves and need to be babied with more state and local restrictions on firearms than Texans. I would think New Yorkers would find that insulting and condescending.
