Maybe this will clarify it for you , or maybe it won’t . Romney , as usual , is on multiple sides of every question .
Read it and prepare to be confused . Just remember , Flip Romney has banned guns in the past and it sounds like he wants to do it again.

Actually, in 2004 he did not ban guns, and in fact the legislation he signed was pushed by pro-gun groups and hailed as the best pro-gun legislation in the states history.
Romney issued a statement on December 31st that clearly indicated the types of weapons he would consider OK to ban, and they were those like the ones restricted by existing legislation (1934, 1986). He does not support NEW legislation at this time.
Other than his somewhat lukewarm support for banning the sale of a few weapons, he has not been “anti-gun”, which is why he got a “B” from the NRA, which is hardly an “anti-gun” grade.
Of course, we are all confused right now over how our “pro-gun” president seems to be acting regarding the judicial fight over the DC gun ban. Romney is on the side of overturning the ban, which apparently puts him somewhat to the pro-gun side of Bush on this one.
I know this — no single-issue anti-gun voter is going to be pulling the lever for Romney.
Of course, no pro-abortion single-issute voter will ever choose Romney, nor will any single-issue pro-amnesty or pro-illegal-immigrant voter, or any single-issue pro-tax voter.
