Rudy Giuliani was in California this last weekend and explained his support for gun control. Rudy probably felt pretty comfortable discussing the topic in that state. Trouble for him is that California is one of the last states in the primary line-up. Republican primary voters in early states like New Hampshire, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota, Utah, and Florida might not agree with Giuliani that gun control is such a great idea.

The article about his trip to California quotes Rudy as saying “I understand the Second Amendment.” He claimed his past actions would have no effect on hunting. That is strange. I did not know the Second Amendment had anything thing to do with hunting.

It’s not like the other leading contenders are much better on this issue. McCain got a C in 2004 from the NRA Political Victory Fund (PVF.) Romney got a B from NRA-PVF when he ran for governor in 2002. For an A rated governor running for president you only have to look next door at New Mexico where Bill Richards was enthusiastically supported by the NRA-PVF in his 2006 race (that he won.) Maybe those crafty Democrats are on to something.
