what would Romney do?

[Great-Kazoo]

that is what this thread makes me wanna do. I don't think Romney is some sort of 2A hero, but I don't think he'd be trying to ban guns right now either. If Romney hadn't of signed that bill in MA, you'd all be bitching about what a tyrant he was as governor.

That i would not have done. My concern is as president he would have signed "reasonable" laws that both parties agreed on. yes he would have dragged his feet in doing so, however no matter who is in office, they would sign some form of gun ban.
It's the fashionable thing to do, like being "environmentally conscious"

This.

Hes a Mormon, and your not taking the Mormons guns.

I am sure there are no Mormons in Ma that were effected by his AWB.............

You probably ought to do your research. That legislation was enacted by thier State Senate, as a joint effort between the pro-gun groups and the anti-gunners. Romney merely acted as an moderator between the two groups. He had no input, did not support the actions other than to help the two groups in an official capacity, and did not take further action. He is PRO-GUN people, always has been.

That's why he signed an assault weapons ban bill then? As a Gov he has a right to veto a bill put on his desk.

He would have been the very same or even worse than Obama is going to be (he might have tried to "please" the other side). If you look back in history, more and worse gun control measures were signed by Repub presidents. The states are the ones to really worry about right now.

See, there is this thing where, as supreme executive leader, they can either sign the bill, or they can not sign the bill.

I wouldn't expect his response to be much different from Obama's. Romney was, after all, a moderate.

"Democrat" and "Republican" are just two sides of the same coin . . . and the individuals flipping that coin have wanted "justification" for disarming the People for a very long time. Fairly obvious this gun ban was planned out years in advance, and it is doubtful Romney would've objected much given his history as governor.

Do you all think Ron Paul would have been much better?

You forget any sarcasm tags?

I thought with my post sarcasm would have been known.

I have a hard time believing Romney would have been worse than Obama. Obama has hit the road encouraging people to pressure their reps into signing new gun legislation.. That's pretty extreme. You really believe Romney would be doing that? I doubt it.
