Unfortunately for the Governor (Romney), someone had also wrongly briefed him about the bill. As a result the Lt. Governor and the Governor made statements at the bill signing ceremony that angered GOAL members.”
really ??? sounds more like the gov didnt even know *what* he was signing, and then he tripped over his own johnson to proclaim that 'assault weapons' dont have any purpose other than to hunt down and kill people...
just like 'w' promised, *if* the CONgress gets AWBII to his desk, he'll sign it...
not to mention the midterms and 2016 that could likely undo the gains in place, or the 'bi-partisan' bills that will sail through because 'R' CONgresscritters will back the prog pres...
Gilb, this country WONT exist if Romney loses....so it doesnt matter,
You hear that one yet?
I've heard it, and I reject it; it is not because of "who the people choose" [as a leader] that the country is destroyed, but the heart of the country itself. -- IOW, God destroys countries because of their injustice, because if they sought Him they would not fail utterly to do justly.
I must admit that even I don't have a crystal ball to tell how things will work out. And I do well with predictions.
I see the Dems on MSNBC are making an argument that the economy is getting better and the next POTUS will inherit that, and it better be Obama.
I am naturally very skeptical looking at the deficits, national debt, real job numbers (not the phony ones). Will the next guy drown or glide?
BTW Gilb, I got called a Obama-operative a few hours ago, can ya beat that? today?
He is clearly on record as supporting the Federal Assault Weapons ban and said that he would have signed the renewal if it hit his desk. I can fetch the footage of him saying it if need be. Do you deny that those were his words?
On second thought, I will just go ahead and post the vid. Go to about the 1:00 mark and listen to his reply to Russert.

Amen, Brother. Go down the page and see posts 26 and 27.
“Leave it to Mitt Romney to shoot himself in the foot with the gun he doesn’t own.”
Ouch / appropriate.
Your posted article does not come close to explaining his actually history and prior positions and is, in fact, a whitewash of his history.
I am a professional gunsmith. I own a gunshop, and renew my FFL every three years. Do you really want to challenge my position and credentials on this issue?
I posit that once he is in office he will do whatever is in his heart. You may claim to know how easy he will be to “push” and I hope you are correct. However, I am a bit cynical based on my knowledge of the FACTS of his history and prior positions. Keep your sophistic propaganda and I will continue to look at the facts.
OK; I admit I was, I’ll buy into it, but I will still be watching every 2nd Amendment move he makes, including USSC appointees.
If he doesn't promote or sign any anti-2nd legislation, nor state any anti exec order, second worst is good enough. And a damn sight better than first worst.
I think the chances of any gun control getting passed in a Romney administration is about zero. Why would he go there?
I am not challenging your credentials. They do not have much to do with the issue. The people who were on the ground in Massachusetts say that Governor Romney worked with them to reform the gun laws there for the better.
I was not there, they were. Politicians make lots of statements. Actions are what count.
Exactly the right attitude. The more pressure we bring to bear, the more we get what we want.
