Funny, you admit that a ban is a ban here.
But then you turn around and try to claim a ban is not a ban by using weasel words.
No sale andy.
"What Romney did sign was an (admittedly noxious) assault weapons ban, which was the price extracted from him by an 85% Democrat legislature"
So Romney is a wuss who can't govern without caving to the whims of a bunch of whiners.
Keep wiggling andy.
Tell me again how a gun ban is not a gun ban.
And by all means, please go on with your silly name-calling while ignoring the fact that you stated something that is demonstrably false. Romney did not ban all guns in Massachusetts. It never happened.
As I explained (and as you choose to ignore), he approved an assault-weapons ban as part of a trade-off deal to make other firearms purchases and licensing requirements less cumbersome.
