I don’t know that. I know that he is a man who has kept his promises. Not only in government, but in his business life. And his personal life, as he kept his promise to his wife, while many other candidates we have did not.

He has PROMISED that he will not sign any new AWB bills, and that he sees no need for any new legislation.

So unless you are a fortune-teller, you can’t know that he wouldn’t keep those promises.

And given that no anti-gun bill has made it through congress, the risk that he might be lying to you, SMALL as the risk is, is even less a problem.

McCain on the other hand has indicated support for some types of new gun control, in response to various “tragedies” that involve guns but for which his “fixes” will make things worse.

Mitt would have to sign an oath in his own blood to veto ANY anti-gun bill before I’d even begin to CONSIDER trusting him on 2A issues.

" I know that he is a man who has kept his promises."

Whatever that day's promise happened to be, eh?

Charles,
WHERE did he make that promise? Certainly not in his debate statement last night. He was very careful NOT to make that specific promise. As stated here many times by myself and other true 2nd Amendment supporters, that is the ONLY thing that matters. An equivocal statement like he made last night assuages no one's fears except those to whom the 2nd is but a passing interest.
