Excerpted from National Association for Gun Rights email blast:
Reports are claiming that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is on his way out the door. The current reports claim that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is Trump’s top pick for a replacement– and that’s terrible news to anyone who believes in the Second Amendment.
Giuliani spent years leading the radical left’s crusade against the Second Amendment, working with anti-gun zealot Sarah Brady’s Handgun Control, Inc.
He backs federal gun licensing, the Clinton semi-auto ban, and he even helped invent the strategy of filing frivolous liability lawsuits against firearm manufacturers. Not to mention his unconstitutional belief that even law-abiding gun owners should be “stopped and frisked” for any reason whatsoever.
The Attorney General is the highest ranking law enforcement official in our country. The last thing we need is a gun grabber in that position, and if we don’t remind President Trump of Giuliani’s gun control past, we just might get one.
As much as Giuliani may attempt to downplay his past radical gun control support, his current positions are more in step with Chuck Schumer than with President Trump.
His latest reported policy position was to allow states and localities to pass radical gun bans at the local level. Could you imagine having to check the gun control laws in every single city you travel through in order to ensure that none of your guns will be illegal?
That’s the world that Rudy Giuliani envisions for you.
Giuliani has spent his entire career working alongside gun grabbers, being instrumental in passing many of the gun control laws that plague our country today. He once even headlined a Handgun Control Inc. press conference standing alongside Senator Chuck Schumer and James Brady.
Giuliani’s gun control past is so well known that then-President Bill Clinton sent him a note praising him on his work to pass the 1994 “Assault Weapons” Ban.
Clinton wrote:
Thank you very much for your efforts on behalf of H.R. 4296, the assault weapons ban . . . With your support and encouragement, the U.S. House of Representatives took a critical step toward getting assault weapons off the streets, out of neighborhoods, and out of the hands of criminals.
Being surrounded by high-ranking advisors, many playing political games, it is sometimes hard for Trump to hear the people who elected him. That’s why flooding his office with these petitions [click here] is absolutely crucial.
