Second Amendment voters are not going to back Hillary Clinton against Romney. And nobody with any sense is going to sit the election out.
Given real world choices, we really don’t want a Hillary or an Obama appointing justices to the court system.

In the general election, Romney’s positions will get him the endorsement of the NRA and probably the other gun groups as well.
HE will also get the NRTL endorsement (I wonder if they are going to re-endorse in the primary, or just wait it out?)
A few people will complain about his past favor of the AWB, but the NRA knows a strong ally and don’t get mixed up by personal animus.
