The same as Mitt's. Unacceptable.
Courting the NRA seemed to be the last thing from Romney’s mind during his unsuccessful 1994 bid to oust Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.In an interview with the Boston Herald during the 1994 campaign, Romney positioned himself as a moderate outsider, warning special interest groups to stay out of the race and saying he supported a ban on assault rifles and the Brady gun control law.
“That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA,” he said at the time. “I don’t line up with a lot of special interest groups.”
It’s theme that would carry over into Romney’s 2002 campaign for governor.
During a debate with Democratic candidate Shannon P. O’Brien, Romney said he would do nothing to change the state’s firearms statutes.
“We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them; I won’t chip away at them; I believe they protect us and provide for our safety,” he said.
And as governor, Romney signed one of the toughest assault weapons laws in the country.
The state ban mirrored a national ban set to expire at the time.
It seems you are willing to risk losing the right to gun ownership entirely, rather then accept less than 100% of what you want. I am not.
Mitt doesn't have anything I want. Pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, anti-gun, pro-illegal alien/Shamnesty, 100% pandering liar.
I'll take a less than perfect position on guns, rather than lose the right altogether.
We'll be lucky if we still have the right to the second amendment in 2012.
