Thanks for your reply. Your Salt Lake Tribune link leads to an error page so the assertion that Romney at any point claimed to have only hunted twice remains unproven.

As I posted before, this NY Times article explains in detail the sequence of events that took place here. Romney told a story about two instances when he went hunting and the AP ran a story portraying those two instances as being the only ones. In response, romney clarified that those weren't the only ones and that was the end of the matter.

Look, I don't know if your problem with Mitt Romney is personal or you just happen to be backing someone else. Now you claim without presenting any evidence that he has an anti-gun political past. Untrue.

Maybe you should check what the NRA had to say about him when he was governor. These make for much better sources on this subject then the Salt Lake Tribune.

I’ve read the machinations his campaign has tried to make since they first told the SLT that he had only been hunting twice. I even referred to a Boston Globe story on this in my piece, which it is important to note was written way back on April 9.

Thanks for the NRA links - speaking of the NRA, as I noted in my piece, Mitt Romney supported the Clinton Gun Ban in 1994, telling the Boston Herald “that’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA. I don’t line up with a lot of special interest groups.”

And in 2002, Romney signed into law what is described as “one of the toughest assault weapons laws in the country.”

Ultimately, I don’t care how many times he has gone hunting, just as I didn’t get snowed by John Kerry’s goose hunting trip here in Ohio. The Second Amendment is NOT about hunting!! I DO care deeply about his attempts to ban semi-automatic rifles, and you should too.
