For Giuliani, 9-11 did change everything (including logic)
This is really pretty incredible sophistry by Giuliani.
Would someone please ask Mr. Giuliani how Americans with guns would have stopped planes from flying into buildings?
If the argument is that an armed populous might somehow thwart terror attacks, doesn't that also mean that the terrorists can buy assault weapons more easily that they can carry into our schools?
(I have no strong position on guns, but I do stand firmly against bullshit arguments like this.)
(Giuliani) said the September 11 attacks made him believe more strongly in the constitutional right for Americans to possess weapons to defend themselves -- but he pointedly left himself open to changing positions if elected.

Archie Bunker logic - if everybody on the planes was armed, they coulda shot those terrorists before they got control of the planes...

Right, but then the terrorists would have been armed, too, right?
And, wouldn't that make it easier for them to get assault weapons and take them into a school?
The was an old SNL skit where everyone in a town carried a nuclear bomb under their arm.
