So we see that Governor Romney's actions in Massachusetts have been misrepresented. I doubt that many here on freerepublic will admit that they were fooled.

They revoked the right to keep and bear arms for a simple misdemeanor?! WOW! I’m glad they clarified all of this, but I’m not comfortable with any language that revokes Second Amendment protections except in the case of violent crime.

I’m still holding my nose to vote for Romney, esp. considering that I’m an issues voter on guns, but I’m glad this article marginally clarifies what happened in Mass.

The two choices that we have... one man wants all handguns and semi auto firearms banned... one has vowed to the people and to the NRA not to make or sign any new gun laws. We have two choices ONLY.

The article says “Crowley shifted away’ from Fast aand Furious. Obama had nodded to her twice to get her to cut off what Romney was saying and she evidently didn’t see the nods from him. Then he said “Candy” and she stopped Gov. Romney in his tracks about Fast and Furious. You have to read the audio portion of the debate to make sure you heard the Pres. say her name; and watch the video to see him nod his head.

President Barack Obama ... would like to see “if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.”

Wouldn't it make more sense to ban shooting people except in defense of self or others?

Of great interest for those who don’t trust Romney on GUNS.
Good clarifications here without msm spin.

Gun laws are working so well in Obama’s home town of Chicago.

If we want less killings we should ban those doing the killing. Yeah we know who they are.

So we see that Governor Romney's actions in Massachusetts have been misrepresented.

Unfortunately for the Governor (Romney), someone had also wrongly briefed him about the bill. As a result the Lt. Governor and the Governor made statements at the bill signing ceremony that angered GOAL members.”

really ??? sounds more like the gov didnt even know *what* he was signing, and then he tripped over his own johnson to proclaim that 'assault weapons' dont have any purpose other than to hunt down and kill people...

just like 'w' promised, *if* the CONgress gets AWBII to his desk, he'll sign it...

He is clearly on record as supporting the Federal Assault Weapons ban and said that he would have signed the renewal if it hit his desk. I can fetch the footage of him saying it if need be. Do you deny that those were his words?

On second thought, I will just go ahead and post the vid. Go to about the 1:00 mark and listen to his reply to Russert.

OK; I admit I was, I’ll buy into it, but I will still be watching every 2nd Amendment move he makes, including USSC appointees.
