It is true that Romney signed the assault weapon ban in MA?  He would never get my vote.

Dupe x 100






























Also:



































1) believes in global warming and wants to do something about it




2) supports Government run/managed healthcare, mandated for all, and signed into law a similar system in MA that is a failure.




3) wants weapons of "unusual lethality" to be banned, and signed into law a permanent "assault weapon" ban in MA.































Thanks to Romney:






















You can still buy an AR in Massachusetts...... as long as it is either in a configuration that doesn't meet the definition of an "assault weapon" (i.e. has a fixed stock, fixed muzzle device, no bayonet lug etc) or was lawfully possessed on September 13th 1994.













You can use that fucked-up AR with a 30 round detachable magazine if that magazine was lawfully possessed on September 13th 1994 otherwise you are limited to 10 round magazines.













In addition to possess either of those items you also need the correct type of LTC (license to carry) which is at the discretion of your local police chief and costs $100 for 6 years.








































Out of office he continued to be anti-gun in the 2007/8 Republican primary campaign:













From "meet the press" during the primary campaign in 2007, where he talks about supporting an assault weapons ban, banning weapons of unusual lethality, and institution background checks for all gun transfers. He specifically and clearly states he will sign a new Federal Assault Weapons ban -






















MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to gun control. Here’s the headline: "Romney retreats on gun control. Romney, who once described himself as a supporter of strong gun laws, is distancing himself from that rhetoric now as he attempts to court the gun owners who make up a significant force in Republican primary politics. In his ’94 Senate race, Romney backed two gun-control measures strongly opposed by the National Rife Association and other” guns rights "groups: the Brady Bill, which imposed a five-day waiting period on gun sales, and a ban on certain assault weapons. `That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA,’ Romney told the Boston Herald.’” "At another campaign stop” "he told reporters, `I don’t line up with the NRA.’” Suddenly Romney decides to run for president and signs up for a lifetime membership in the NRA.













GOV. ROMNEY: You know, it’s, it’s wonderful, and you’ll appreciate this. There is a great effort on the part of, in some cases, my opposition, in some cases, just folks that are interested in writing an interesting article to, to try and find any change at all. And my position on guns is the same position I’ve had for a long, long time. And, and that position is that I don’t line up 100 percent with the NRA. I don’t see eye to eye with the NRA on every issue. I…













MR. RUSSERT: You’re still for the Brady Bill?













GOV. ROMNEY: I supported the assault weapon ban. I…













MR. RUSSERT: You’re for it?













GOV. ROMNEY: I assigned–and I–let me, let me describe it.













MR. RUSSERT: But you’re still for it.













GOV. ROMNEY: Let’s describe what it is. I signed–I would have supported the original assault weapon ban. I signed an assault weapon ban in Massachusetts governor because it provided for a relaxation of licensing requirements for gun owners in Massachusetts, which was a big plus. And so both the pro-gun and the anti-gun lobby came together with a bill, and I signed that. And if there is determined to be, from time to time, a weapon of such lethality that it poses a grave risk to our law enforcement personnel, that’s something I would consider signing. There’s nothing of that nature that’s being proposed today in Washington. But, but I would, I would look at weapons that pose extraordinary lethality…













MR. RUSSERT: So the assault ban that expired here because Congress didn’t act on it, you would support?













GOV. ROMNEY: Just as the president said, he would have, he would have signed that bill if it came to his desk, and so would have I. And, and, and yet I also was pleased to have the support of the NRA when I ran for governor. I sought it, I seek it now. I’d love to have their support. I believe in the right of Americans to bear arms…













MR. RUSSERT: How about the Brady Bill?













GOV. ROMNEY: The Brady Bill has changed over time, and, of course, technology has changed over time.













MR. RUSSERT: But the idea of a waiting period.













GOV. ROMNEY: Well, we have, we have a background check. That’s the key thing. I support background checks to, to–for people who are going into a store or whatever and buying a weapon, I want them to have a background check to make sure…













MR. RUSSERT: But you stand by your support of the Brady Bill.













GOV. ROMNEY: …to make sure, to make sure that the, that the crazies don’t buy guns.




The, the current Brady Bill is, is a different measure than the original. The original had a waiting period because it took a long time to check on people’s backgrounds. Today we can check instantly on backgrounds. I don’t want to cause a waiting period that’s not necessary based upon today’s technology. But my position is we should check on the backgrounds of people who are trying to purchase guns. We also should keep weapons of unusual lethality from being on the street. And finally, we should go after people who use guns in the commission of crimes or illegally, but we should not interfere with the right of law-abiding citizens to own guns either for their own personal protection or hunting or any other lawful purpose. I support the work of the NRA. I’m a member of the NRA. But do we line up on every issue? No, we don’t.































So Romney's position on gun is as follows:






















1) He will sign a federal "assault weapons" ban if congress puts one in front of him




2) He wants all firearm transfers to include a background check (aka "close the gun show loophole", no FTF transfer without a FFL)




3) Weapons of unusual lethality should be banned (defined as weapons that pose a "grave risk" to law enforcement, which could be argued to be anything other than .22 pistols)































Be honest with yourself, you aren't going to convince yourself or anyone else that mittens is pro second amendment as written, or even just mostly pro-gun, be honest and say that you are supporting mittens because he is the front-runner, more electable than Paul, and at least 4 years of continued slow decline and a couple of middle of the road supreme court appointments is better than letting Obama have another 4 years.













A vote for Romney is nothing more than "anyone but Obama" again, it's McCain V2.0, and you have the Liberal media to thank for that due to their successful campaign to find dirt on everyone except the Dems and their chosen RINO Republican.
