As many politically-involved gun owners are aware, there has been a lot of anti-gun rhetoric coming out of New York City from a man whose name is being mentioned among the bloated field of anti-gun Presidential candidates.

Consider the following quotes:

"In New York City, 90% of the guns that we see come from outside the city of New York."

"We've gone to the 9mm weapon for police officers now so that they can be armed the way that criminals are armed."

"I think the approach to gun control, the approach to assault weapons, at least by too many in the Republican party, is a terrible mistake for cities...terrible mistake for America."

If you read these quotes assuming they were uttered by anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently shed his affiliation with the Republican party in anticipation of an expected independent Presidential run, you would be wrong.

These are the words of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. And as a 1995 interview with PBS's Charlie Rose will show, they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Owning the Power to Control My Destiny

By Linda Walker

I have great respect and adoration for financial guru, Suze Orman. She is an intelligent, financially brilliant and witty lady (If she's anti gun, please don't tell me!) Recently I watched The Suze Orman show on the local PBS channel. The show was entitled "Women & Money". Now you ask, what does that have to do with gun rights? Certainly Buckeye Firearms Association hasn't gone into the financial planning business now, have they? Of course not! But please bear with me in my ramblings.

Ms. Orman proceeds through out the show to explain the "eight qualities of the wealthy woman". Number three is "courage"! Suze explains "courage is the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action." Wait a minute! In my pro gun mind, Suze can't be talking about financial stuff! She must be confused and instead is talking about self defense! These are the type of words I would say to my students as I instruct them in my concealed carry classes.
