National Rifle Association President David Keene is predicting a Mitt Romney victory in the 2012 Republican presidential nominating process , and working to burnish the credentials of the liberal former Governor of Massachusetts.

Here's the problem:

As Governor, Mitt Romney banned guns. 

From July, 2004:

Governor Mitt Romney has signed into law a permanent assault weapons ban that he says will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on these guns.

"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts," Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety advocates. "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

Like the federal assault weapons ban, the state ban, put in place in 1998, was scheduled to expire in September. The new law ensures these deadly weapons, including AK-47s, UZIs and Mac-10 rifles, are permanently prohibited in Massachusetts no matter what happens on the federal level.

I'm thinking that perhaps NRA members, and anyone else who cares about the protection of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, might want to ask Mr. Keene how much money he and/or the organizations he represents have received from Mr. Romney and his closest allies.

Because, the way I see it, such considerations are the only thing that can explain why the head of the nation's largest gun organization would be shilling for someone who banned exactly the sort of weapons that in 1775 the British went to Lexington and Concord to seize.

I don’t care who endorses NittWitt Mitt. There is NO WAY that I will ever vote for him.........He is a leftie RINO Fraud. An Obozo meme.

And I am not alone.

[Navy Patriot]

I agree, no Romney, or no vote and no dough.

The Mitt Romney Deception

[BlackElk]

You have a verrrry accurate view of what usually motivates David Keene.

[Texas Fossil]

Yep, if the National Republican “leaders” try to force NittWitt Mitt on us, it will be the END of the Republican Party.

I do not want a 3rd party to run. It probably would insure that Obozo is re-elected.

BUT, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITT!

[Gator113]

NRA lost me when they endorsed Reid. This is topping on the cake.

However, I wouldn’t vote for Romney if he promised an AR with lifetime free ammo to every registered republican.

[caver]

Keene is not the NRA President.

[DesertRhino]

Romney and none of his 5 sons served in the military. Assault rifles aren’t something they remember from days defending the nation. According to the DOD, Utah’s rate of enjoyment is only higher than DC, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

Screw that gun banner and any NRA that supports him.

[Vigilanteman]

In the waning days of the 2008 campaign when it looked like the late porker John Murtha might be beaten by a real American patriot, the NRA pumped hundreds of dollars into radio ads to support Murtha. It was then and there that I resolved they would never get another dime from me. I joined Gun Owners of America instead. They do what the NRA once did.

[EternalVigilance]

Yes, he is.

Thanks

Command P, save as a pdf. for MAC users. Pass it around

Last year the NRA endorsed supported Harry Reid. Previously they officially endorsed him.

[savedbygrace]

David Keene? Will the NRA be the next org he ruins? (OK, I know the NRA was ruined before David Keene, but still . . . . )

[donozark]

He was recently elected NRA President

[BlackElk]

Like his “brainwashed” daddy before him, Mittens is a corporate whore and lusts for power at any price and Mittens in his own right has proven again and again that he is an enemy of social conservatism and a serial liar on the subject. No wonder that the lamestream press and David Keene regard him as the frontrunner for the GOP nomination.

[DesertRhino]

that’s Utahs rate of enlistment. (droid auto fill)

[DeaconRed]

"And I am not alone."

Not at all, there are a lot of US.

[MeganC]

NFW am I voting for this a-hole and I’ll ask the liberal Republicans not to waste time torying to convince me otherwise. If this POS end up with the nomination I’d rather vote for Obama and at least have a President who’s HONEST about being a liberal.

[Servant of the Cross]

David Keene, and his buddy Grover Norquist, are clearly the "enemy within". From CPAC, ACU and now the NRA, these two are nefariously attempting to hi-jack the GOP platform to appeal to homosexuals, islamists and illegals. These are contrary to and incompatible with conservatism.

No surprise that Willard is their man. H*ll NO to Romney, and Keene/Norquist.
