That is flat out false. He understands very well that the 2A is about more than just hunting.

On the 31st anniversary of the Gun Owner's Action League, Governor Romney declared May 7, 2005 as "The Right to Bear Arms Day" in Massachusetts to honor "the right of decent, law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms in defense of their families, persons, and property and for all lawful purposes, including the common defense."

The firearms reform bill signed by Governor Romney in 2004 had the endorsement of the NRA, Gun Owners' Action League, law enforcement and Massachusetts gun owners. The bill added several measures these groups favored, including a lengthening of the terms of firearm identification cards and licenses to carry.

Mitt stood his ground the best he could with a 85% liberal legislature.

On the 31st anniversary of the Gun Owner’s Action League, Governor Romney declared May 7, 2005 as “The Right to Bear Arms Day” in Massachusetts to honor “the right of decent, law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms in defense of their families, persons, and property and for all lawful purposes, including the common defense.”


And with the other side of his mouth, Mitt opposes the kinds of rifles that are most effective for many of those tasks, especially the most important one (killing the forces of tyranny.)

At least Rudy is honest about being a gun-grabber. Mitt is a dishonest flip-flopper without any core principles on this issue, other than to do what is popular.

You can’t support the RKBA and oppose “Assault Weapons.”
