Guns

The audience went wild when the moderator asked Giuliani whether the Virginia Tech shooting might have been averted if the students had been carrying guns. NH is a reliable pro-2nd Amendment state.

Giuliani says he'll let states make the decision about who can carry a firearm.

At last, Paul is being asked a question, about whether 9/11 might have been averted if the passengers had been armed. Goler is asking this question, asking whether jumpy passengers can be trusted with guns. He's misquoting Paul, and Paul is now pointing that out: the airlines are responsible for the passengers, and they, not the federal government, should make the decision. We shouldn't assume the government is going to take care of us.

"Here is one example where the federal government was involved. They messed it up." Paul is getting huge applause. I suspect it'll be another 20 minutes before he gets another question.
