NRA "Celebration of American Values" Brings
2nd Amendment Rights to the Fore...Next >
September 21, 2007--Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani addressed a skeptical but polite audience at the NRA's Celebration of Values conference.  Prior to the conference the campaign sent out a research briefing "Rudy Giuliani: Crime Fighter." 

However, in the back of the room someone had placed three piles of flyers: "What you won't hear Giuliani say when he speaks to the NRA today..." (quotes), "Rudy Giuliani on Guns" (YouTube links), and "Where Are They On Protecting Your Second Amendment Rights?" (a Thompson-Giuliani-Romney comparison piece).  The photo of Giuliani used on the flyers showed him speaking at a Handgun Control event.  Although the source of the flyers was not identified on them, the comparison piece favored Fred Thompson ("has a proven record of supporting the Second Amendment and America's gunowners.") 

In a curious moment, Giuliani took a call from his wife during the middle of his speech.
