Go get him Fred.

Former Senator Fred D. Thompson is not only testing the waters for a run for president – he’s stirring the pot. He took a not-very-veiled swipe at the Republican frontrunner, Rudolph W. Giuliani, for supporting gun control.
Mr. Thompson, who starred in “Law & Order,” wrote on his Web site today: “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.’’
Then he decried a recent court ruling on a gun case, writing that “the same activist federal judge from Brooklyn who provided Mayor Giuliani’s administration with the legal ruling it sought to sue gun makers, has done it again.’’
Mr. Thompson went on to suggest that high gun ownership rates may be related to the low violent crime rates.
The Giuliani campaign, er, returned fire. “Those who live in New York in the real world — not on TV — know that Rudy Giuliani’s record of making the city safe for families speaks for itself,’’ said Katie Levinson, the Giuliani campaign’s communications director. “No amount of political theater will change that.”
