To be honest, I don't know much about him, other than he appears to be on the "fence" on a lot of issues. My question is, where does he stand on the 2nd Amendment, AWB, and other gun related issues?

Right where he stands on everything else: wherever the spotlight is, and the cameras can get his "good side".

I respect McCain's military service and his POW sacrifice, but I have no respect for him today. He attacked free speech with his campaign finance report bill, and has ranged from weak to hostile on 2nd Amendment issues. He loves being portrayed as a "maverick Republican", which means he puts on a conservative air and acts gruff, while being on the same side of the issues as the mainstream media.

And now we have Former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, in the race.......

The former mayor is a moderate who supports gun control, same-sex civil unions, embryonic stem-cell research and abortion rights — stands that would put him at odds with the majority of the GOP conservative base.
It doesn't look good for the 2nd Amendment.......
