The Virginia Tech masacre last April should have been a wake up call for anyone against gun rights. The idea of security not being armed is bad! We really have to elect people who understand and respect gun rights. It is a sad fact of life. BUT protecting ourselves against crazy freaks is a reality of life…

Rob, are you hedging your bets on Giulani if Thompson doesn’t get into the race?

Thompson will be in the race on or about September 5th.

If he doesn’t get the nomination, I don’t know what I’m going to do.  I could vote for Giuliani, but I’m hesitant.  He’d be better than any of the Democrat candidates, but I’m a little tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.  He’d be another Bush, I think, from the conservative perspective.  Great on some things, terrible on others.

And evil incarnate to the liberals, naturally.

So if not Thompson, label me “undecided” for the time being on Giuliani.  If neither of those guys make it, I’ll probably not vote at all.  Certainly Romney doesn’t have anything I want, and Huckabee is Dick Gephart with an “R” behind his name.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Logic would have it that if NYC can sue out-of-state gun manufacturers for crimes committed with a gun in NYC--then this follows: any New Yorker who commits a gun crime in the other 49 will allow them to sue the State of New York?  After all, guns do not commit crimes--people do.

Thanks Rob, I too am undecided from my end. Too early anyway lots of time yet.

Rob I will not vote for Hillary under any circumtances, I can’t imagine you would either. I guess I am going to hold my nose and pull the lever for the Rino Rudy. I think the NRA will be out in full force and the thought of losing guns

ANY Legal GUNS

to the defeatocrats is enough to get out the vote. I think the NRA will also warn Rudy hands of our guns…

Rob - ...I’ll probably not vote at all.

You should never say this and worse, never do it. You’re better than that. Candidate choices will always be the lesser of two evils, but that’s kind of a glass is half empty way of looking at it. This is no perfect politician.

Well there goes the Giuliani/Thompson ticket.

Frankly, I find that a little insulting.  The idea of holding the people who actually use guns in crimes responsible for those crimes instead of the people who made the guns is just plain common sense.  I don’t know what “real world” Giuliani and his campaign are living in, but here in America we believe in personal responsibility, not finger pointing.  We also believe in the Constitution, which provides constitutional protection for owning and selling guns.

This is the reason I don’t want to have to vote for anyone but a true conservative. I was in a debate with some of the people of this its our party too. Apparently they didn’t like it when I told them they were a bunch of liberals and that they were better off voting with the Democrats. Being a republican stands for something, there are core believe. I believe pro-life, pro gun are two very important issues…

Isn’t this a New York issue?

Having spent months per year in New York for the past five years, I can report that the obsession with guns in the city and surrounding burroughs is much greater than in places like Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Atlanta, etc.

Any half hour conversation always involves guns at some point and the question is always, “What kind of gun do you have?”, as opposed to, “Do you have any guns?”. You expect anyone that you talk to to have at least one, you are not surprised to learn that it’s illegal, and they don’t have it for hunting.

In the five homes surrounding a friend’s home in a nice area, I learned that there were fifteen guns in total at a barbecue.

Why this is the case is beyond me but, I would expect the local and/or state government to be addressing this issue in some way. Not knowing these things, other states may be shocked at the city’s attempts to somehow get control over gun ownership. This is another situation for Fred federalist ideals.
