Romney is a democrat.
Romney signs off on permanent assault weapons ban
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony...“These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
And you are deliberately distorting the facts. Romney is NOT a Democrat no matter how much you wish he was. That was only a snippet of what he said as he signed the law, which was PRO-GUN and actually eased the restrictions. GOAL (Gun Owners Action League) in Mass was lobbying for the bill and is backing Romney solidly on his protecting the 2cnd Amendment.
GOAL statement:
“During the Romney Administration, no anti-Second Amendment or anti-sportsmen legislation made its way to the Governor’s desk.
Governor Romney did sign five pro-Second Amendment/pro-sportsmen bills into law. His administration also worked with Gun Owners’ Action League and the Democratic leadership of the Massachusetts House and Senate to remove any anti-Second Amendment language from the Gang Violence bill passed in 2006.”
