If a bear attacks me in woods, I would rather have an assault rifle than a handgun.
“While the NRA has not endorsed Governor Romney”
No, but they got a little to cozy with Harry Reid for my taste. I will add that I am a long time NRA member.
Looks like we all get to shoot ourselves in the foot this year. But at least we get a choice of which foot......
Romney will do what is best for Romney.
What is best for Romney is to support gun rights.
This was not true in MA.
It is true, now.
Amen to that. There was a recent bear attack on the news (I can’t remember where) and the details were chilling.
Yap, simple politics. One can’t get rich swimming against the current.
I will give them credit for being savvy on that however. With both houses temporarily in Democrat hands, having the Majority Leader owing you favors is a good thing even if he isn’t your best friend.
When all is said and done I think you pegged it. And in far fewer words than I used. :)
Whatever Romney does is better than what Hillary and Obama plan by giving our gun rights to the UN.
I am sorry but after the NRA endorsed Harry Reid, they lost all credibility on the issue of being for Gun Owners. They are now just another political fund raising scam more interested in access to political power then the facts.
Romney agrees with us 75% of the time, Obama agrees with us 0% so of course you “uber Conservatives” race around here trash talking Romney
Are you people really this politically stupid? Romney or Obama will be the next President. Spending all your time trash talking Romney does one thing, helps Obama
You people are the useful idiots of the Democrat propaganda machine.
I wasn’t ‘trash talking’ Romney. But I was pointing out his past failings where gun rights are concerned. You will note that my conclusion was that Romney will be much better for gun rights than allowing Obama a second term. I believe that!
And I am an uber Libertarian, not an uber Conservative. :)
This is the wrong argument, wrong way to look at it. The second amendment guarantees the government will not infringe on our God given right to self defense. I do not have to justify firearms ownership based on need. That is so important I’ll say it again. We do not have to justify exercising our rights based on need. No one hands you an abridged dictionary and says “sure you have first amendment rights, but you have no need of words over three syllables...” I may never need a magazine fed semiautomatic rifle. But i absolutely need the freedom to own one if I choose to, because the moment we don’t have that freedom, we start surrendering more and more freedoms.
Absolutely.
What would ‘President Romney’ really mean for gun owners?

Consider another term under Obama.
Visualize it fully.
Now, contribute to the Romnutz campaign, ‘cause he’s better than Obama - far better.
Don’t forget to contribute to the real conservatives running for local, state, and federal offices.
I think ‘President Romney’ would mean dozens of federal court judges at all levels who can be counted upon to rule ‘pro-gun’ when the issue arises.
I think ‘President Romney’ would mean we wouldn’t have to spend the next 4 years waiting for the other shoe to drop when President Obama finally turns his gaze upon private gun ownership.
I think ‘President Romney’ means at least 4 years of continued gains.
But I do not mistake that for Romney being a stalwart champion of gun rights. That’s all I was trying to say in the article.
