Rudy Giuliani will speak to the National Rife Association to “clarify” his position on gun rights. He said of the meeting:

“There are certain agreements and disagreements with every single group,” noted Giuliani, talking about the event with reporters in Reston, Va. “When I go before the NRA, I’m going to try to emphasize areas I think in which there is a great deal of agreement. And as I have said many, many times, my 80 percent friend is not my 20 percent enemy.”

Giuliani has been under attack for his previous actions and positions on guns for which the former mayor hasn’t always been seen as a ‘80% friend’ by the NRA. As mayor and a federal prosecutor Giuliani enacted legislations that put restrictions on gun purchasing. His initiatives were seen as important steps in curbing violence in NYC but were vehemently opposed by the NRA.
