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.

If you’re referring to the Brady bill, yes he supported it, as did Ronald Reagan. And as for the assault weapons ban I refer you back to the NRA link I posted. There was no assault weapons ban.
