Rudy Giuliani: No point to gun-control laws since criminals break laws.

[Eric J in MN]

Giuliani on Fox News recently:

"People who rob stores, people who rob banks and people who are insane and want to go ahead and murder don’t follow the gun control laws. It’s the behavior of people, it’s not the guns.”

Giuliani as NYC mayoral candidate:

In 1993, he joined those calling for a national system of gun licensing, “with stringent but realistic criteria.”

Giuliani as NYC mayor:

In 1998, he proposed a law to require New York City gun owners to buy trigger locks.

And in 2000, he said New York would file a federal lawsuit seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages from gun companies as compensation for the injuries and deaths caused by their products. The Times headline: “Giuliani Joins the War on Handgun Manufacturers.”

1. He's right of course

maybe we could all save time and just shoot ourselves.

[Fred Sanders]

8. Or remove the laws against murder and arson as murder and arson still happen!?

The childishness of the logic is unbelievable....yet the zombie logic is equalized by the media with actual living logic....that is half the problem and the solution is to remove that problem.

14. The weird thing right now is that these murders

are taking place in no gun zones. That to me pisses me off. These murderers are trying to make a mockery of a good and necessary law and they need to be stopped.

2. No point for Rudy to talk anymore because nobody gives a shut what he has to say.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. OK, then; let's repeal the laws against drunk driving.

It's the behavior of people, it's not the cars.

[TexasProgresive]

4. I guess that makes Rudy Ghouliani an anarchist. Who knew?

[yeoman6987]

15. He did clean up New York City for sure

So I'll give him that.

[Yavin4]

5. The inconsistency of their logic astounds me

He says this about guns, but when it comes to drugs, we have to continue this stupid drug war.

[Fred Sanders]

9. Yet it lives! Not only in Fox but through the entire media. Astounding. I am sick of the stupid.

I am tired of my intellect being daily assaulted.

The NRA assault on intelligence is creating a societal cesspool of illogical and stupid and evil.

"A gun is comparable to a hammer". There is NOTHING to compare if your frontal lobe neurons are more than 5 years old!

The insanity of it all is no longer funny when insanity is being used to justify policy.

[Koinos]

6. Who then needs laws of any kind?

Since criminals break laws, laws are useless.

If we had no laws, no one would be able to break laws.

We would have no lawbreakers.

Absurdity piled on absurdity.

Has Giuliani ever heard of "enforcement"?

[Hoyt]

7. Sadly, if we'd listened to him back then, some of these tragedies might have been avoided. Might be

less gunz too.

[Eric J in MN]

19. Yes, if we had "stringent" criteria for gun licenses

...as Giuliani advocated in 1993, we may have averted at least one of the mass shootings since then.

[rickford66]

10. Mass shooters have been mentally ill, not criminals.

[LiberalElite]

11. Ok why stop there

drunks will violate DUI laws. Let's get rid of THEM. And so on and so forth.... Asshole.

12. No point in taking a shower tonight Rudy.

You'll only get dirty again tomorrow.


OMFG

[PowerToThePeople]

13. Rudy Giuliani: Dumbass.

[eppur_se_muova]

16. Oh, good, just think of all the money we'll save on traffic signs !

Not just speed limits, but especially those pesky stop signs ! Those things are everywhere, and criminals just ignore them anyway !

[tk2kewl]

17. He is despicable

[olddots]

18. ...um excuse me Rudy ?.........j

could you stick your head up your ass and bite for air ??
