Fred Thompson "doesn't like" New York City gun laws.

No wonder Putzy has a mancrush on Fred: (updated)
Mr. Thompson, who starred in “Law & Order,” wrote on his Web site: “When I was working in television, I spent quite a bit of time in New York City. There are lots of things about the place I like, but New York gun laws don’t fall in that category.”
Legislation should be judged on its effectiveness, not on one's personal ideological biases. I can't quite believe this is happening, but I agree absolutely with Rudy:
“When he was mayor of a city suffering an average of almost 2,000 murders a year, he protected people by getting illegal handguns out of the hands of criminals,” the site says. “As a result, shootings fell by 72 percent and the murder rate was cut by two-thirds. But Rudy understands that what works in New York doesn’t necessarily work in Mississippi or Montana.”
Thompson either needs to come up with a reason why NYC's gun laws have failed, in actual real life terms, or STFU.

"Not liking" laws isn't good enough.

UPDATE

Naturally, Putz declares Thompson the winner.
