We are a SCOTUS heart attack away from losing the 2nd amendment. And I hope all of the conservative “crusaders” who stayed home on election night rather than voting for that Northeastern Rino remember that too. There are now four Liberal radicals on the court. One more radical justice and they could rule the 2nd amendment only applies to the “Militia.” This was the most important election in our history, and granted Romney is quite a bit more Liberal than I would prefer, he was a good honest man who in my opinion, would have made a good President.

Mitt Romney on "Assault" Weapons Bans:

I do support the Second Amendment. I would have signed the assault weapon ban that came to his desk. I said I would have supported that and signed a similar bill in our state. It was a bill worked out, by the way, between pro-gun lobby and anti-gun lobby individuals. Both sides of the issue came together and found a way to provide relaxation in licensing requirements and allow more people to--to have guns for their own legal purposes. So we signed that in Massachusetts, and I’d support that at the federal level. It did not pass at the federal level. I do not believe we need new legislation. I do not support any new legislation of an assault weapon ban nature, including that against semiautomatic weapons. We have laws in place that, if they’re implemented & enforced, will provide the protection and the safety of the American people. I do support the right of individuals to bear arms, whether for hunting purposes or for protection purposes or any other reasons. That’s the right that people have

Let us see what else:

The candidate reiterated his support for an assault weapons ban contained in Congress’ crime bill, and the Brady law which imposes a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases. ‘I don’t think (the waiting period) will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect,’ Romney said.

The "good honest man" you spoke of when mentioning Etch-A-Sketch Romney:

"Oh, and also the one about this "lifelong" devotion to hunting, which turned out to mean he'd done it twice. "I'm not a big-game hunter," Romney said, then explained that his preferred prey were rodents, rabbits, and such--"small varmints, if you will."

"He couldn't fathom why the caricature of him was sticking. When Romney's staff showed him the devastating YouTube video, his first reaction was,"Boy, look how young I was back then." Source: Game Change, by Heilemann & Halpern, p.293-295 , Jan 11, 2010

Stop being a GOP sheep and supporting dumbass gun grabbers just because they have (R) after their name. Better yet, stop blasting other conservatives for not voting for the same socialist gun grabber you did. some of us actually adhere to conservative principles vice anonymously post about them on FR with 0 follow through.

Whenever I find myself feeling smug, like after an news artical where the Obummer gets slapped down, I remember the fact that this son of a RED will probably get to name THREE supreme court judges IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS..!!

Then...Well...I guess we'll go to war...Because their is no way on this side of hell I'm going to give up my God given rights to a smuck like that...Or any smuck at all, for that matter....
