After all didn’t Guiliani support the Patriot Act and hand gun control while Mayor of NYC? Those are two prime examples of the government "controlling your life."
What is his position on the seatbelt and helmet laws?
Does he intend to get rid of that nanny government legislation if he is elected President?

He opposes raising taxes, but has no problem raising "fees." Some high lights or low lights depending on who you ask include or would have included…
Also under Romney’s plan, the state Department of Mental Retardation would have charged a fee of 0 to determine a client’s eligibility and the Department of Public Health would have charged for initial tuberculosis tests. Another 0 fee would have been assessed for those who tested positive. Those proposals were ultimately rejected.
Prisoners also would have paid more. Romney’s plan would have hiked the cost of a phone call from behind bars to from 86 cents. The price is still 86 cents.
Under Romney’s plan for Massachusetts, the cost of registering firearms would have jumped from to . He also called for increases in the cost of firearm identification cards, application fees for a license to carry firearms, and gun dealer fees.
In all, then-Gov. Romney proposed creating 33 new fees and increasing 57 others — enough, he said, to pull in an extra million for the cash-strapped state.
"It’s a shell game," said Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. "He can still say he didn’t raise taxes, but fees are taxes by another name. It’s a trick."

Another news headline involving a shooter, another tragedy that could have been stopped had people in the building been carrying and trained. How many more tragedies have to happen before people wake up and realize " If we carry firearms lawfully and am competent/trained to use it then we could stop these acts before innocent people die" ?

Our couragous lawenforcement men and women can’t be everywhere at every second, it’s fiscally irresponsible for us to depend on someone else for safety and more so to not be prepared to help others.

If they were worried about laws, they wouldn’t be criminals in the first place. All these unconstitutional laws do are make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves.

Or do you think maybe just maybe Chicago should spend time going after the criminals first and enforce the laws on the book now rather going to fight this new law in the courts.
