Hunter wins over Romney as Hunter gets an A+ rating from Gun Owners of America. Romney gets an F.

Please provide a link as I don't think that is correct. Romney's NRA rating is a "B" and Kayne Robinson is not opposed to working with him as POTUS. I imagine their electability ratings would be in reverse. And then, the question is: Would you want Hillary, Edwards or Obama (all gun-grabbing F's) or Romney with his B?

Romney on guns:

“Americans should have the right to own and possess firearms as guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. I’m proud to be among the many decent, law-abiding men and women who safely use firearms.” - Governor Mitt Romney, 01-12-2007,2005

Also, in 2005, Romney designated May 7 as “The Right to Bear Arms Day” in Massachusetts to honor “the right of decent, law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms in defense of their families, persons, and property and for all lawful purposes, including the common defense.”

I haven't used the NRA's rating in a decade. They care more for "hunting" than for actual Second Amendment Rights.

Governor Mitt Romney and Firearms Policy According to his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney “is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms.” July 1st, 2002 Mitt Romney signed a permanent ban on Assault Weapons. “Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony with legislators, sportsmen’s groups and gun safety advocates. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

Whoops... So much for Mitt having a clue about what the Second Amendment is for.
