If a bear attacks me in woods, I would rather have an assault rifle than a handgun.
“While the NRA has not endorsed Governor Romney”
No, but they got a little to cozy with Harry Reid for my taste. I will add that I am a long time NRA member.
Looks like we all get to shoot ourselves in the foot this year. But at least we get a choice of which foot......
Romney will do what is best for Romney.
What is best for Romney is to support gun rights.
This was not true in MA.
It is true, now.
I am sorry but after the NRA endorsed Harry Reid, they lost all credibility on the issue of being for Gun Owners. They are now just another political fund raising scam more interested in access to political power then the facts.
This is the wrong argument, wrong way to look at it. The second amendment guarantees the government will not infringe on our God given right to self defense. I do not have to justify firearms ownership based on need. That is so important I’ll say it again. We do not have to justify exercising our rights based on need. No one hands you an abridged dictionary and says “sure you have first amendment rights, but you have no need of words over three syllables...” I may never need a magazine fed semiautomatic rifle. But i absolutely need the freedom to own one if I choose to, because the moment we don’t have that freedom, we start surrendering more and more freedoms.
What would ‘President Romney’ really mean for gun owners?

Consider another term under Obama.
Visualize it fully.
Now, contribute to the Romnutz campaign, ‘cause he’s better than Obama - far better.
Don’t forget to contribute to the real conservatives running for local, state, and federal offices.
Only one question needs to be asked....is he better than Obama?
Romney MIGHT have signed it, Obama certain WOULD sign it.
Problem for you Democrats pretending to be “conservative: is a GOP Congress would never pass it a Democrat Congress DID pass it.
But of course it so much easier to spend all your time shooting your allies in the back then ever take on the Progressive Fascists in the Democrat party on anything
Your sort of “conservative” is the useful idiot of the Democrat Party propaganda machine.
JP, I’m voting Romney ‘cause I want to see that skinny black butt leaving D.C. on a cold assed Winter Day. His big ears flapping and his lips talking crap all the way to Chicago.
I don’t expect Romney to even be close to as Conservative as Bush was.
His team wants to balance the budget in 20FORTY! What a damn joke.
Romney MIGHT have signed it, Obama certain WOULD sign it.

Romney signed a "compromise" gun ban. It was bad. I didn't vote for Romney in the primary. I do know this. Romney won't have Eric Holder as his AG. He won't appoint Sotomayer and Kagan. I have a chance with Romney that he'll screw us less. He can't be worse.
At best, no bad things will happen and no bad judges will be picked.
You just cling to your emotion based partisanship then. Fact is the Democrat HAVE done a whole lot to try and regulate gun ownership and have been defied on it by the GOP.
If you are gun owner stupid enough to vote for Democrats thinking they respect the 2nd Amendment, you get what you deserve.
You want to campaign for O fine, but do it on the facts, not on a bunch of lies and disinformation
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) (or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act) was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons". There was no legal definition of "assault weapons" in the U.S. prior to the law's enactment. The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment.
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision. There have been multiple attempts to renew the ban,[1] but no bill has reached the floor for a vote.
Very well, cling to your emotional ignorance but don’t expect any of us to take you seriously.
“I do believe that a ‘President Romney’ would likely be far better for gun rights than a second-term President Obama for the reasons laid out in my previous article about President Obama.”
Then why is the author in this article trying to turn conservatives, gun owners against Romney?!!!!!
Just noticed that YOU actually wrote this article.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
The author missed Romneys recent NRA interview. They asked very specific questions and he gave the right answers. Of course, he’s a politician .....
Mitt Romney on Gun Rightrs: Protect the Second Amendment
http://www.mittromney.com/issues/gun-rights
As the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed, the Second Amendment protects one of the American people’s most basic and fundamental individual rights: “the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.” The Second Amendment is essential to the functioning of our free society. Mitt strongly supports the right of all law-abiding Americans to exercise their constitutionally protected right to own firearms and to use them for lawful purposes, including hunting, recreational shooting, self-defense, and the protection of family and property.
Like the majority of Americans, Mitt does not believe that the United States needs additional laws that restrict the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. He believes in the safe and responsible ownership and use of firearms and the right to lawfully manufacture and sell firearms and ammunition. He also recognizes the extraordinary number of jobs and other economic benefits that are produced by hunting, recreational shooting, and the firearms and ammunition industry, not the least of which is to fund wildlife and habitat conservation.
Mitt will enforce the laws already on the books and punish, to the fullest extent of the law, criminals who misuse firearms to commit crimes. But he does not support adding more laws and regulations that do nothing more than burden law-abiding citizens while being ignored by criminals. Mitt will also provide law enforcement with the proper and effective resources they need to deter, apprehend, and punish criminals.
As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt was proud to support legislation that expanded the rights of gun owners. He worked hard to advance the ability of law-abiding citizens to purchase and own firearms, while opposing liberal desires to create bureaucracy intended to burden gun owners and sportsmen. As governor, he also designated May 7th as “The Right to Bear Arms Day” in Massachusetts to honor law-abiding citizens and their right to “use firearms in defense of their families, persons, and property for all lawful purposes, including common defense.”
As president, Mitt will work to expand and enhance access and opportunities for Americans to hunt and shoot. He also will defend the right of individuals to protect their families, homes, and property, and he will fight the battle on all fronts to protect and promote the Second Amendment.
