If you think Romney is a conservative you must love the Bush Admin’s brief in Heller...oh, and you are “certifiably insane.”
Romney supported the court’s ruling in Heller. So I’m guessing people who support Romney are not all that pleased with the Bush administration’s objection to that ruling.
Romney is much better on gun rights than he is given credit for. He’s NOT a hunter, and shouldn’t have said he was, and he shouldn’t have said he owned a gun. But at least he was trying to show he wanted to be like those kind of people — he wasn’t running away from them.
His current position, spelled out in two press releases issued December 30 and December 31, make it clear he does NOT support ANY new AWB bills, but will support the existing 1934 gun law, and would consider extending it to new weapons that are like those listed in that law, such as hand grenades and RPGs.
