Lesson from September 11th:

The people need more guns!

See Giuliani explaining to the NRA how he went from "the gun is also the source of a very big problem. And the NRA's, in essence, defense of assault weapons and their unwillingness to deal with some of the realities here that we face in cities is a terrible, terrible mistake." "The NRA, for some reason, I think goes way overboard" when he was Mayor of New York, to supporting the second amendment fully when he's running for President:




That link above is to an excellent NYT piece showing his comments through time, including this one:

"I believe that we should treat the possession of a handgun the way we treat driving an automobile, and therefore, a person who wants to possess a handgun should pass a written test, should be able to pass a physical test in the actual use of the gun and should have to demonstrate good moral character and a reason to have the gun."

Since when do you have to demonstrate good moral character or a reason to drive in order to get a license? Also, what would be on the written test? (It is a good idea to shoot people: True/False)

Anyway, he also totally bizarrely interrupted his speech to take a phone call from his wife (that was totally unplanned!), which is the kind of stunt I bet the NRA is totally behind. They like pistol whipping guys, not pussy whipped ones, dude.
