Thompson Takes On Giuliani Over Guns

New York Times

Campaigning at Skip’s Gun and Sport Shop in Bristol, N.H., today, Fred Thompson took a swipe at Rudolph W. Giuliani’s record on gun control, saying the former New York mayor “simply supported just about every gun control legislation that came down the pipe.”

Mr. Thompson said the New York City isn’t a model for the rest of the country and Mr. Giuliani should not base his positions on his experiences there.

‘’He relates everything to New York City. Well, New York City is not emblematic of the rest of the country, I don’t think. I think the sentiments of those people in the rest of the country are in support of the Second Amendment — which is where I’ve always been and I don’t think he’s ever been,'’ Mr. Thompson said, according to the Associated Press.
