Oh, crapolla! Don't try to make it somehow seem that Romney is pro-gun because he SAYS he supports repeal of McCain Feingold. That's like whizzing on our boots and telling us that it's raining.

FACT: Romney, as governmor of MA, signed an assault weapons ban into law and boasted about his state's tough gun laws.

All the spin and flip-flopping in the world isn't going to change that.

What I said remains a fact. Romney has said he would repeal CFR .
The two issues do go hand in hand , like it or not .
I’ve never said, nor implied, that it negates anything that Romney has or hasn’t done in the past . Was the NRA wrong in endorsing the legislation that Romney signed ?

CFR repeal is an important issue to gun owners and I have yet to hear if Thompson would repeal CFR . He has acknowledged that it was a bad bill, would he repeal it ?

I’m NOT satisfied with Romney’s answer regarding renewal of AWB . I also have not seen a definative answer stating Thomspon’s position on renewal of AWB .
It’s a far different issue than skeet shooting at a charity event .

“FACT: Romney, as governmor of MA, signed an assault weapons ban into law”

Correction: NOT FACT.

Quote from the NRA:

Despite the efforts of some (including The Boston Globe) to spin this bill as an extension of or creation of a new “Assault Weapons” ban, the bill makes no net changes to the Commonwealth`s laws regarding those types of firearms.

Good’ol Fred voted for the Domestic Confiscation gun ban though:
