    Default Romney and guns

    There seems to be a lot of conflicting reports, ambiguity, dishonesty, and sometimes ignorance when it comes to Romney and guns. Here are a couple of interesting reads on Romney when he was governor as it pertains to gun legislation.

    http://www.goal.org/newspages/romney.html

    http://www.nrapublications.org/index...nts-column-29/

    Big take away: Romney did not sign an AWB when he was gov. The AWB was already law when he took over (and, unlike the federal AWB, it had no sunset clause). While some of these things may seem small to us, they were big steps in a state like MA.

    I can't tell if these two articles are making excuses for Romney, or genuinely trying to explain what happened. But, what one thinks/does as governor almost a decade ago isn't necessarily a predictor of what one will do as president. Regardless, there's been enough "flip-flop-ish" talk from Romney to lead me to believe he's not as pro-2A as I would like.

    Take it for what it's worth. Discuss civily.
