Battle at the NYC Corral --- I Put My Money on Thompson

Thursday, August 23, 2007

And so the games have begun in earnest it seems. Rudy and Fred. I suggest a drawdown at Times Square.

Fred has finally drawn the line in the sand on Rudy’s gun control. Of course, Rudy and his minions come back with “look what I did to make NYC safe.”

MY QUESTION: “Who has the guns in NYC today?

ANSWER: The criminals who outnumber the law-abiding public and law enforcement officials --- that’s at least 10-1. Do you think I feel safe in NYC? Rudy, if you are serious about being president, an office I am not sure you could run if you got it since it is far above the challenge of NYC, then as a Southerner you best understand we value the Second Amendment and Fred Thompson understands that.

From Newsmax.com today’s story on the “dust up.”

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's campaign took aim at Fred Thompson, after the former senator posted a blog on his Web site criticizing New York City gun-control laws and singling out Giuliani by name.

"When I was working in television, I spent quite a bit of time in New York City,” Thompson wrote, according to The Hill newspaper. "There are lots of things about the place I like, but New York gun laws don’t fall in that category.

"Now, the same activist federal judge from Brooklyn who provided Mayor Giuliani’s administration with the legal ruling it sought to sue gun makers, has done it again. Last week, he created a bizarre justification to allow New York City to sue out-of-state gun stores that sold guns that somehow ended up in criminal hands in the Big Apple.”

Giuliani’s campaign reacted on Tuesday:

"Those who live in New York in the real world - not on TV - know that Rudy Giuliani’s record of making the city safe for families speaks for itself,” Katie Levinson, Giuliani's communications director, said in response to press questions. "No amount of political theater will change that.”

Until next time.
