Here is the operative part of Romney's answer, the one that governs what he will do as President:

But which is in conflict with his record, and not so distant past statements.

I for one don't trust "campaign eve" "conversions. If he'd been making such statements even since leaving the Governors office, I'd feel a lot better about them.

My gut says he's saying what he thinks he needs to say to get the nomination. Notice he says he "does not support new legislation", but does not say he would veto any sent to him, as a violation of the "right that people have".

And maybe the others would say so — but I haven’t seen the word “VETO” on any of their web sites relating to gun laws.

Huckabee has a LOT of veto threats on his web site. Pork barrel spending, trade with Cuba, line item veto, but not guns so far as I can find. And he’s supposedly the best candidate left on the gun issue. (other than Ron Paul).

I guess if guns were the only issue I cared about, and I wasn’t worried about running the country or someone who could put together a good team and implement a conservative agenda, I might vote for Mike Huckabee.
