Flip flops, does not know if he is coming or going. Am not happy about my vote this year, but hey I was not happy about my vote in 2008 either

After reading everything on that link, he seems pretty comfortable banning "assault weapons" and items of "unusual lethality" (I'm not too sure what qualifies as unusually lethal to someone from MA).

He was never a friend to gun owners when Governor. He increased the gun licensing and ownership fees and supported the extension of the assault weapons ban at the state level if/when the national ban lapsed...

During his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Romney had been a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban, and had also said he believed "in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms."[92] On July 1, 2004, Romney signed a permanent state ban on assault weapons, saying at the signing ceremony for the new law, "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. 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."[93] The law extended a temporary measure that had been in effect since 1998 and covered weapons such as the AK-47, Uzi, and MAC-10.[93] The same law also modified some other aspects of general firearms licensing regulations.

His record as governor and as a looter at Bain prevents me from voting Republican for president for the first time in 30 years.

I'm sorry to hear that you're an Obama supporter.

Romney had a lot more anti-gun support in MA. Now he has to deal with the whole country and a large percentage of his base being pro gun. He wont do a damn thing unless he wants to go 1 term...which no president wants.
plus we have the house, hopefully the senate and the biggest issue is the next SCOUTUS.

Plus the big items are healthcare, economy and inflation. Immigration and oil are priorities above gun control and with the last 4word years the massive surge in gun and ammo sales sends quite the message.

As opposed to what, an illegal gun runner who blocks justice? Realistically, there is no third candidate who can win, so I can vote for the lesser of the two evils (Romney) who as mentioned before will have bigger fish to fry, or go with Barry, who will have very little to distract him should he choose to go after the Second Amendment.

Did you vote for Bush? If so he promised to sign an AWB renewal if it came across his desk. It never did.

Presidents don't write legislation, they just sign it into law. In its current state the legislature is loathe to consider any gun control laws and after November it'll be even less likely.

No, Mittens ain't perfect but he won't sign non-existent gun control bills into law and he certainly won't sign the UN gun control treaty. Obama will sign the UN treaty and he'll use extra constitutional means to institute gun control through back channels (you know, like killing hundreds of Mexicans to make American gun dealers look bad).
