One more rancid tidbit from the article:

"These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense," he (Romney) was quoted as saying. "They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

Hmm, sounds like the U.S. Army should be interested in these instruments of destruction, because they apparently autonomously hunt down and kill people.

On a political note, I had been expecting this move from Romney. He is a man who believes in nothing except the pursuit of personal political power. Let him try to spin his past anti-gun positions whichever way he can, but once his signing of the Mass. "Assault Weapons" ban in 2004 is widely publicized in New Hampshire, his chances with the gun people will be completely destroyed.

To be fair, he is talking about assault weapons.

Politically, I can understand why a politician would take that position, but anything beyond that is a big red flag for me.

On gun control, I am not a single issue voter, but as long as he keep his hands off the 2nd amendment, I can pull the lever for him.
