Anything that looks “scary” and has big “clips” for the “shells”.
I heard that it was any gun with which you could "spray-fire from the hip"

Governor Mitt Romney has signed into law a permanent assault weapons ban that he says will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on these guns.
Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts, Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 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.
Like the federal assault weapons ban, the state ban, put in place in 1998, was scheduled to expire in September. The new law ensures these deadly weapons, including AK-47s, UZIs and Mac-10 rifles, are permanently prohibited in Massachusetts no matter what happens on the federal level.
We are pleased to mark an important victory in the fight against crime, said Lieutenant Governor Kerry Healey. The most important job of state government is ensuring public safety. Governor Romney and I are determined to do whatever it takes to stop the flood of dangerous weapons into our cities and towns and to make Massachusetts safer for law-abiding citizens.
The new law also makes a number of improvements to the current gun licensing system...
the version that isn't the smoothbore Airsoft version?

Bears repeating, imho. I will not vote for someone with an anti-Constitutional track record. No Mitt, No way!
It may well be that a majority of voters is open to a marxist based form of government but we can't surrender just to preserve the status quo for the Romney's of the nation.
If they'd been in power in 1776 we'd still be singing God Save the Queen.
Thanks for the post, I wasn't aware Romney signed this bill almost 7 years ago.
In 2008 I didn't vote for McCain, I voted against 0bama. McCain just happened to be his opposition.
In 2008 someone ask me if I was a republican, I answered "No I am a conservative and no longer a republican"
If Karl Rowe's republicans nominate another RINO like Romney, Huckabee, McCain or others, I will sit this one out even if someone as despicable as Soro's lackey 0bama is on the ballot.
Hear me RNC, I am a conservative.
Add Christie to this list.
Both are non-starters as prez candidates.
Curious if Romney has armed security?
Just one more (albeit major) reason in a long list (and growing) of reasons why this man should never be allowed to be President or serve in any other semi-major capacity in government. This Obama-lite populist POS stinks to high heaven. Beware the MSM trying to pick/push this libtard as the Republican party’s next POTUS candidate just as they did with McCainiac in ‘08.
Well, hopefully this puts a dent in Romney for President.
THEY FORCED Romney to do this.
Romney had no choice.
Just like THEY FORCED him to sign RomneyCARE. [/s]
Romney aide’s bogus badges: Sources detail ‘illegal’ security tactic
" Boston Herald - Friday, July 20, 2007
In an apparent violation of the law, a controverisal aide to ex-Gov. Mitt Romney
created phony law enforcement badges that he and other staffers used on the campaign trail
to strong-arm reporters, avoid paying tolls and trick security guards
into giving them immediate access to campaign venues, sources told the Herald.
“They (the aides) knew the badges were fake and probably illegal,”
said a presidential campaign source who asked for anonymity
because the story could damage the individual’s career.
Two additional sources confirmed that the badges - described as bright silver plates with a state seal attached -
were first created and used by Garrity while Romney was still governor." Romney Presidential campaign caught with in two states (includes NH).
Myth Romney 2007 campaign's dirty tricks included phoney State Troopers caught in two states
before he was caught using push polls, fake and deceptive stories to the Press about others,
and other dirty tricks on a daily basis.
FAKE TROOPER (and Chief of Operations)

Romney aide accused of faking badges
Somewhat agnostic on potential candidates, but almost daily Romney seems to be getting increasingly unsavory.
I won’t say this definitely places him in the NO column, but it is darn close.
I consider it a good thing that Romney has put his presidential aspirations on auto-destruct sooner than later.
That whooshing sound you hear is 80,000,000 gun owners running away from Mittens as fast as possible.
I am happy that one of the potential Republican candidates can be eliminated from consideration just off of the issues.
Romney has no chance.
Throw Romney in jail.
I'm dead serious. If there are those who aren't as serious, they are part of the problem.
Another way to tell is to show a picture of one to a Democrat. If they p*ss themselves, then it's an assault weapon.
It must be made by the same company that makes the "AR-100". The Maryland Assault Weapons code specifically targets the "AR-100", whatever that is.
