Fred! on the 2nd

September 21st, 2007

Speaking to the NRA, via AP, via Geraghty:

“Some believe that the Second Amendment has different meanings in different places, and that the gun rights of citizens in, say, New York City and Chicago can restricted more than the gun rights of those in Tennessee and Montana. Do you agree?”

Thompson responds with a deep, rumbling, slow, “Noooope.” Then he follows with absolute catnip for gun owners: “It’s never seemed to me to be coincidental that the places that have the highest crime rates tend to be the places that have the most restrictions on gun ownership in America.”

Will he appoint an Attorney General who shares his opinion of the Second Amendment. “Yes.” More applause. “I think we’re winning on the interpretation of the Second Amendment. I have a complicated position on this: The Constitution means what it says.” He gets another standing ovation.

As well he ought to. This is one of the reasons why Rudy simply does not have a hope in hell of being anything other than a fine Veep for President Thompson. And here’s another example of the Fred! juggernaut just rollin’ on, baby.

    Heh. Reminds me of one of our regional managers, speaking to all the location managers in the region.

    "Our return policy is as stated. Do not invent your own."

    And it was about time somebody said it. Our poor electronics sales force was going nuts trying to keep up with ever shifting policy.

    Right up there with Sonny Bono's statement on Illegal Immigration. "It's illegal."
