“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. 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.”

The above were Mitt Romney's words while signing a permanent assault weapons ban. How "contexualized" do those who care about the Second Amendment need that fact to be?

I notice you tend to post the above quote when asked to provide tangible proof of your blanket charges. The quote speaks for itself, as you say, and doesn't need much context. So, you take an easy exception to redeem your other distortions - a straw-man.

I've never claimed Romney to be pro-gun or pro-assault weapons in his past. Your greatest distortions are on the subjects of health care, abortion, and gays. You're tellingly silent on the subject of foreign policy, taxes, and the economy.

My primary hunting weapon is my FAL .308, a weapon that is always classed by gun opponents as an "assault weapon."

That must mean that if I go hunting, I can only be issued a "human tag."
