The term "assault weapon" could be defined to mean just about any modern rifle and they want to ban them all as a "first step." Once you accept the premise there is no logical place to stop.
As was also true with Ronald Reagan, it doesn't matter where you start. What matters is where you end up. Too many start right and end up left.
Look at Romney's personal life for validation. That's where the truth is. He's an enormously savvy businessman whose leadership and policies would bring continued prosperity to this country. He's a devout family man who can be counted on to uphold and strenghten traditional families and protect them from the predations of the left.
On the Second Amendment he is more gun friendly than even Ronald Reagan who, after all, was a strong supporter of the Brady Bill.
And when FR's most notorious social liberal troll, Torie, hates him, you know he's on the right track.
No offense, but why are you so obsessed with bashing Mitt Romney?
And in a related vein, who is your favorite GOP candidate?
A few months ago he was being interviewed on the radio and not only did he support MA's repressive gun laws but he was happy that pellet guns have to be registered as it helped to track down some kids who shot a few windows out.
The poster likely meant that "hunting" is not the reason for the Second Amendment and that pandering to hunters won't do diddley for the pandering candidate, Romney, Giuliani or McLame, whoever...
So we have Romney, McCain, and Guiliani as the front runners. ALL RINOS!
Their staffers are probably super liberals.
There is no true conservative who has a chance of winning the primary.
The Globe is probably shooting for a Pulitzer for their series on why conservatives shouldn't vote for Romney.

I wonder how long it will be before some of the formerly-socialist or communist countries are more conservative than the USA?
You give Mitt such slack, and me none, from your little uber right wing social conservative prism. Why might that be? So tell. :)
First, you have to question anything the Boston Globe prints, since it is likely to be a lie or distortion of the facts.
By the way, you might be careful in trying to sell Romney, as the one the troll liberal Torie "hates," given Torie's actual opinion about Romney:
"I am trying to be fair. Reagan I don't think thought much about the issue, and it became a hot issue after he legalized abortion in California. It became a hot issue with Roe. Romney seems to have had new insights, during the time when the issue was red hot, and as I said, Romney is a very smart and analytical and curious man.
"Romney has many good qualities, no doubt about it, and I suspect it is more likely than not that he would make an excellent president."
And what did I do a chip shot on Mitt about? You guessed it. His dis-ingenuousness on abortion! Yes, that is what the urber liberal troll observed.
I really enjoy have you as an interlocutor. Well, actually not. It is not a fair fight.
In any event, my best advice is to do a mid course correction in your Mitt marketing missives. You are not helping him. JMO.
Absolutely. I'll bet that gun he tells the press about is a two barrel shotgun. This guy is pro-gun the same way John Kerry is pro gun. I guarantee you you will see photo ops of him going pheasant hunting just to show how 'pro gun' he is.
Travel convenience for hunters weighs small against the loss of the prime reason fopr the right to keep and bear arms.
Pandering I'd expect. At least Romney took responsibility for a gun in his house unlike Kerry who disowned the SUVs on his property. I expect Romney either has his own gun now or will shortly. ;-)
The Second Amendment is NOT about protecting the right to own sporting goods.
There's no agreement on what a true conservative is. Only agreement on who they are not and that's not very encouraging.
What's an assault weapon?
