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.)

Giuliani supports the 2A seemingly unconditionly sometimes, and sometimes he supports weapons bans. It depends upon his audience at the time.

Either way, he'll have a relatively tough time with this issue when running for the presidency, because the conservatives are going to look at his position and deem it liberal, and the liberals are going to look at it and deem it conservative. Giuliani really appeals to moderates, because that's what he is, and truth be told, if every American would look at his positions and decide for themselves wether or not to support him, he'd gain quite a lot. Sadly, however, the majority of Americans let various news channels (I'm looking at you FOX) decide for them.

Giuliani's said he supports the 2A, just not uncondtionally in heavily populated areas (such as NYC, and other urban areas). The best thing for everyone to do is look at what he's said and decide for themselves whether or not he's a "Friend or Foe to the 2A."
