Rudy has said he supports the 2nd Amendment, but also thinks guns are a bad idea in a heavily concentrated urban environment like NYC. He really did clean up NYC, and he has the balls to stand up to the rest of the world if need be to fight terrorism. He believes in low taxes and more individual freedom. While I would much prefer the gun views of Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo, neither of those guys have a chance to gain the nomination. I personally believe that if he gets the Republican nomination, he will not push for gun control so that he can gain the support of the NRA and most pro gun voters. Don't fool yourself about Hilary or Obama, both believe that you have absolutely no right to own, let alone carry firearms and both would actively work to take your guns away. Both are big government socialists who hide their positions so as to seem more reasonable to the middle. I think Rudy will be good for America, and will likely not get into gun issues if he can possibly avoid it. If you don't like Rudy, you could just support Hilary or Barack by wasting your vote on the Libertarians or some other fringe, powerless third party.
