Another hour must have passed, because JRochelle (McCain supporter) has posted another lie about Mitt Romney.

The FID card is required even to possess defensive pepper spray. Thus, an impoverished woman who wanted to buy a $15 can of pepper spray was forced by Romney to spend $100 for the privilege of defending her own life.

This is untrue. The fee for the special FID, which were long required in MA for class 4 weapons, including MACE and pepper spray, were not increased. Witness the page of any police department in MA:

Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2003 in Section 34 reduces the fee for first time FID Cards Restricted to Chemical Sprays (Class D) from $100 to $25. Renewals for this restricted FID Card continue to be free. Of the new $25 fee, 50% stays with the town, and 50% goes to the state. The bill was signed by the Governor on November 26, 2003. The wording change in Massachusetts General Laws will occur in Chapter 140, section 129B(9). The $25 fee for all first time FID Cards Restricted to Chemical Sprays (Class D) is now in effect.

Source.

I realize we all disagree with an FID fee at all. I realize we all disagree with an 'assault weapons ban.' I realize many of us would like to reduce the local police department staff and use the savings to train and arm every household with an M16-A2. However, that does not justify lying about Mitt Romney raising the fees on women trying to get pepper spray. The FID has always been in effect in MA, Mitt did not create it. Unfortunately he signed a bill that raised the fees but also did a few good things for gun owners, like extending the terms of the FIDs.

Mitt’s not a gun guy. Period.
Doesn’t own one, isn’t interested, were nothing in his life.
Temperamentally he’s an establishment son, more comfortable at a Harvard alumni smoker than a VFW.
He has and does support Massachusetts draconian gun laws.
I very much doubt that he is comfortable with what I consider what the rubber meets the road definition of the 2nd is about. The violent, killing opposition to government.

So he’s wrong about the price of Romney’s extortion. Myth is still wrong about the Second Amendment.

If you hate the Second, you hate them all.

Myth hates them all.
