Romney = POS
2nd Amendment says nothing of recreation and self defense. If Mitt cannot understand ‘shall not be infringed”, the he is not qualified for any public office. Near as I can tell, he’s the same as Obama except for the islam.
Mitt Romney made it abundantly clear as Governor of Massachusetts that either he has no grasp of the constitution, or doesn’t care. Either way - and for a great many other reasons - he’s a poor choice for the Republican nomination.
What the hell is a Mac-10 rifle?
***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.***
Um... they are designed for self defense. That is their purpose.
I am a constitutionalist 1st, then a conservative, then a republican, but never a RINO like Romney. So why should I vote for him?
Obviously, he´s never been in the service.
Need a definitive definition of what’s an assault weapon. Machine guns are illegal and have been for over 60 years. But what an assault weapon. The devil is in the details.
Are there any Mittwitts left on FR?
Big, bad guns make the mayonnaise sandwich “shiver” with fear!
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts, Romney said”
As opposed to ‘assault weapons’ that just make you go “Owie!, that stings!” when you get shot with them?

“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense.”
I dunno. Last time I emptied a magazine from my uncle’s AR-15, I enjoyed the heck out of myself!
***
“They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
Be vewwy vewwy qwiet, I’m hunting my fewoah man, huhhuhhuh!

“and Mac-10 rifles”
I honestly didn’t know there was a carbine version of the Mac-10. I might have to get one now!
What the BLOODY hell are we going to do if the pubbies put this ass hat up against BO in the next election?
Not knowing much about guns but I never thought a MAC-10 was a rifle. So these people get those guns out of state where law abiding people in the state can’t buy them or I guess own them.
I don't generally believe in political litmus tests, except for issues like the right to keep and bear arms. I simply could never vote for Mitt Romney based on his open betrayal of the Second Amendment. If this is the best the GOP establishment has to offer, then let Obama have his second term.
I've had enough of the establishment candidates from BOTH parties.
If Romney wins the GOP nomination, then it just won't matter who wins the general election.
If Romney is the GOP nominee, then third party/TEA party/independent will be the only way to go, and let the chips fall where they may, and let the gutless establishment gnashing of teeth begin.
Romney's authoritarian socialist stench is simply too much for this conservative libertarian to hold his nose for...
Make no mistake, fellow patriots: the GOP establishment appears to be hell-bent on fomenting Mitt Romney, or someone indistinguishable from him, upon Republican voters.
there goes any chance he ever had of being president
First: "assault weapons" used to be categorized as fully automatic - machine guns...which have needed a major permit to own for decades. The term has been distorted.
Secondly: like most in California, people confuse machine guns with their similar looking semi-auto (one squeeze; one shot) weapons. CA has outlawed many semi-automatics just because they have the configuration of a fully auto, but allow other semi's.
Thirdly, and most important: a simple .38 revolver or a 9mm can and IS used to "hunt down and kill people". It happens almost every day in the inner-cities. Mostly, the gangsters use 9mm, but .38 revolvers are still easier and cheaper to obtain. The pansy gun idiots don't realized how easy it is to eject the mandatory (CA) 10 round magazine and insert another for a 9mm. The way 9's were built, with the slide going back once the mag is empty, tells anyone holding it's time to re-load (unlike the stupid movies where they just pull the trigger and click after click and realize it's empty).
It takes a couple/few seconds to re-load a 9. Sheesh, even a novice could do it, once they see the slide back. So the bad guy obeys the law (as if) and only bring 10 round mags? Okay. Guess they won't bring more mags in the pocket. Right?
Fourth: a Garand M-1 with a clip can fire multiple rounds is also a hunter/killer that could be use to ... you get the point.
Fifth: THE most deadliest weapon is a simple shotgun, depending on the gauge and circumstances. Oops, probably shouldn't have let BATFE know that. 12 gauge and OO shot will be next on their list.
The "assault weapons" debate is built on what the unknowing paranoid believe to be machine guns. They know NO difference between fully automatic and semi-automatic. Why is this never the point of debate? Hell, even a bolt-action can be used with little practice to "hunt down and kill people". This can gotten beyond ignorant.
Romney is the consumate urb, he should be confined to some city and ignored beyond the city limits. He isn't much different from Bloomberg, maybe a little less mouthy.
I don't think those people even belong to the same species I do, I don't want them running my life.
They can stay where they are and community organize until Hell freezes over but they need to leave Free Americans out of their schemes.
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.
