good point. I remember bill clintons second term. all the proposals. Remember the proposal for "arsenal licensing" what was it? Licensing required for over ten guns or over 500 rds of ammunition including primers and rimfire as I remember.

I didn't like McCain either but he wouldn't have green-lighted the UN gun control work or appointed Supreme Court justices who take their cue from foreign courts rather than the Constitution. Romney won't either -- I understand why some people don't like him however anything but voting for Romney is a vote for Obama. Those who abstain or vote third-party are even more guilty than the Obamaniacs IMO if he gets a second term.
Um, McCain co-sponsored the NDAA. Makes me sick that I compromised and voted for that bastard in 2008. I don't want to think about what kind of unconstitutional shit he would have signed into law if he had won. He is specifically the reason I will not play the "lesser of the available evils" game again.
In the wake of todays horrible events, Romney will have his hands full, he supports the AWB and there will be another call for one in the coming days/weeks.
He has not convinced me to vote for him yet.
If he supports a new AWB he'll lose ... at this point he needs every single conservative vote he can get and AWB support will cause a not insignificant percentage of conservative to say screw it and stay home.
So basically your choices are between someone who MIGHT want to take away your guns and someone who is actively attempting it through deception and subversion of the law. But you're not convinced to give the person a try who MIGHT change his mind and want to take them away?
Believe it or not, the majority of Mormons are extremely interested in maintaining the Constitution as it stands, 2nd Amendment and all. I doubt he would want to be the one disarming all the LDS gun afficionados. Not that they'd do anything, it just kinda goes against their belief system. If anything, I'd say he probably had to toe that kinda tough line while governing a liberal state, but IMHO I doubt he'd try to inflict that kinda policy on Western states like Utah with a history of sport shooters (John Moses Browning, etc).
Just my thoughts there. Barry can't be trusted. I'd give Mitt a chance, though.
Either way, time to stock pile the 30rd mags....
As much as I dislike Romney... he is still better than the current disaster-in-chief....
