I just just read this off a Romney site...And this is well.....More awsome news!
In Massachusetts 1994, Mitt Romney said, "I don't line up with the NRA." A decade later, as governor, he signed legislation making a state assault weapons ban permanent.!!! Romney also supported a national assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill during his 1994 Senate run .... WTF and all I hear is its Obama...Its Romney! ObamaCare came from RomneyCare...Its Romney the Assault weapon Fascist! Great.....Just great. Now this is not a Pro Obama post its a Fact post. Something we need to look into with Romney. |

Where you been? WE KNOW!!! Somehow Romney is better than chocolate Jesus. Something about chess and checkers, supreme court and the R behind his name

The Mass AWB was in place before Romney. He signed a bill that improved conditions for gun owners. Why do people keep spreading lies about this?

So you're saying that a permanent ban is an improvement? Great. OP, you must be new here. The fact that DirectAction moved this topic tells me you posted it in the NRA forum....you really think the NRA wants to talk honestly about Romney's anti-gun record? Ha! |

Oh My God!

@ the OP
Would you rather have the country/economy totally destroyed by an unAmerican Socialist/Marxis? Or have the country and economy revived by an imperfect ProAmerican Capitalist? Unfortunately those are your only choices this time around. |

Quoted: Quoted: The Mass AWB was in place before Romney. He signed a bill that improved conditions for gun owners. Why do people keep spreading lies about this? How does a permanent ban replacing a temporary ban improve conditions for gun owners?? There was no expiration date on the 1998 Massachusetts ban –– only wishful thinking that because the definitions in the Mass Ban referenced those in the federal ban that somehow the entire law would disappear when the federal ban expired. There was no specific "sunset clause" in the Massachusetts law. Since Massachusetts is a hard-Left, Deep Blue state what would have happened is anti-gun cops and prosecutors would have applied the law to any semi-auto they didn't like, including Minis and 10/22s. There was zero chance that the 1998 ban would have been invalidated, and a very, very good chance it would become worse. |

Apparently, Romney was supposed to ignore the will of the legislature and the vast majority of the Massachusetts citizens
Same thing we bitch about Obama with Obamacare |

Do you know how many vetoes of Romney's have been overturned? The NRA and GOA supported this bill so away with you... |

We can own about anything, thing is you need to skirt the rules a bit. True enough anything after 94 can't have a lug or flash suppressor. No big deal. Anything pre 94 is good to go. Yes, the AG has this stupid list on approved handguns but you can bring them in if your moving to MA and sell it and all that. Yup, it's not illegal to ship ammo here either, it's just that companies who do get rousted by again, that asshole AG. It's just all feel good laws. Stupid as it sounds. The thing that's killer is MA is a may issue state. It's really up to your local chief of police to set policies. I live in what's called a red town, which isn't good. According to the licensing officer, it's policy to place restrictions on your carry permit. Unless your a business owner and can prove it or LEO then you get restricted. I like that part, "or LEO", I guess some pigs are better than others and all the animal farm stuff. I'd like a level playing field. We are on our 4th Chief since my last renewal. One was a thief, his replacement was a pervert, not sure about #3. How's that for fair play, and they feel they can judge me. You can only bring them to court for denial, not restrictions. Oh, by the way, I see your in Illinois, also it seems your in Chicago according to your Arfcom name. Hmmmm, glass houses and all that. The part in bold makes it sound as if you've grown quite accustomed to the chains that rest upon you. |

Speaking as a fellow Libertarian, we need to face reality and campaign for the only candidate with "Real American" values still capable of winning, since Ron Paul isn't really in the running anymore. |

The time to settle this was in the primaries. Now it's time to vote against Obama.

Thats why we all need to worry MORE about electing good senators and congressmen in both the state house and federal level.

If you were your clients would probably end up being exectuted for parking tickets. Criminal statutes are strictly construed against the state. "...anti-gun cops and prosecutors..." can't apply the law to anything they don't like. Without definitions, the law would have been unconstitutionally vague and therefore unenforcable. Unlike you, the anti-gun cops, prosecutors and politicians knew this. THAT'S THE REASON THE LAW WAS AMENDED. |

I don't give a fuck what he signed, the people in Massachusetts have less freedom than just about anywhere else in NORTH AMERICA- yet ROMNEY was in charge of that. He could have made real changes but he doesn't give a shit about rights or the Constitution, he only cares about getting elected. You guys go knock yourselves out and support your anti-gun, pro forced healthcare candidate. I'm sitting this election out. Get a real true Conservative to run and then maybe they'll deserve my vote. Until then, let the country suck it. |

Quoted:
States rights. 2nd Amendment was incorporated to apply to states and localities by the recent McDonald case, and as far as I'm concerned has always applied to the states. Anyway, I was a MA resident and heavily involved in gun politics there in 1998. The state AWB was enacted then, well before Romney. Its language had no sunset provision. |

Someone In Illinois is Bitching about a law banning all Assasult weapons that was signed and put in place by Romney in Massachusetts? This makes you Laugh your Ass off? Well in Illinois I can have and own as many assasult weapons as I want, there is no ban here. Now evey time I hear ANY gun news its "Obama is going to take and ban your guns" signed NRA,FOX, Rush, Palin, Any Republican, any "TEA PARTY".....So this is/was news to me, first I've seen of it. So I posted it here because again all anyone hears is Obama is going to ban and kick your door in and take your guns, all while the only one that as a fact has passed any law that says NO guns is Mitt Romney!...So it was very shocking to me to hear/see this because this is the GUY we are told to vote for, because he will not touch our guns......

Picking between these two is like deciding if I want to get punched in the face(Romney)or kicked in the balls(Obama). I will take the punch in the face.

How's that conceal carry working out for you? I know plenty of folks in Mass with ARs and AKs. Is it an ideal situation, fuck no, but it worked for the state at the time. Not defending it as I think the restrictions are retarded, but it is what it is. Now, I have to do some shopping for the new place. I have to decide what I want to carry today as my Mass Class A LTC provides me reciprocity here. ETA: and what the fuck is that part in red about? |
