So I see you've clarified your original assertion about a general "gun ban" that did not exist. What Romney did sign was an (admittedly noxious) assault weapons ban, which was the price extracted from him by an 85% Democrat legislature (and the policemen's union) for relaxing general gun ownership requirements. Of course, we all know that "assault weapon" is a euphemism for "whatever looks kinda scary", so that was a cop-out on his part.

Most states (including mine) wouldn't stand for that kind of nonsense, and in fact I own several weapons that are still absolutely forbidden in Massachusetts. I agree with you here: Romney's 2nd Amendment record is far from exemplary. I don't even think he rates a "C" grade. But Obama gets an "F" across the board because he'd ban them all, given a chance.

Obama sure seems to like to think big picture about gun banning, hence F&F. So far, his Ratly Senate hasn’t dared bring forth anything of that nature to be run around the political football field — has it?

Andy, a gun ban is a gun ban.
You can parse it and dance all you want, it’s still a gun ban.
And it banned semi-automatics.
It was a gun BAN, get it?
You said that I lied.
Where is the lie?

“which was the price extracted from him by an 85% Democrat legislature “

So Romney is a wuss who couldn’t govern Massachussetts, and you expect him to do any better in Washington?
What’s the definition of insanity again?
