Giuliani - Friend or Foe to the 2A?

Giuliani claims his gun bans helped lower crime for New York city, yet claims to be a friend of the right to keep and bear arms... and says he will oppose the Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

On the OTHER hand...

The facts are on the side of gun rights, and I have little doubt that Giuliani will face a tough run in both the primaries and the general election if he doesn't have the support of the NRA and the gun rights voters.  It comes as little surprise to me that he is trying to woo the NRA and the gun rights vote by claiming opposition to the Assault Weapons Ban. 

(And FYI for all you uninformed retards, if the assault weapons ban expired, 'machine guns' would not be made legal suddenly - those are covered under *different* laws, and when you pull the trigger on an 'assault rifle' *ONE* bullet comes out.  They are ordinary guns.)

I hate punishing everyone for the bad few. There seems to be guns everywhere and not everywhere is as bad as New York City. Taking guns away seems to be a knee jerk reaction by socialists/democrats. The government can't help you if someone breaks into your house or if theres a major natural disaster (New Orleans for proof). I wish democrats would relize this, but they want to take away power from the individual and give it to the government (which is what they are all really about anyways). The way the government deals with simple things like illegal immigration and spending our money should be a big clue that you shouldn't rely on them. Socialist democrats suck my balls.(not that republicans are much better now a days)
