“Need a definitive definition of what’s an assault weapon. “

Anything that looks “scary” and has big “clips” for the “shells”.

I heard that it was any gun with which you could "spray-fire from the hip"

"If Romney is the GOP nominee, then third party/TEA party/independent will be the only way to go, and let the chips fall where they may, and let the gutless establishment gnashing of teeth begin.

Bears repeating, imho. I will not vote for someone with an anti-Constitutional track record. No Mitt, No way!

They don't have a single principle they will really fight for, they will compromise us right to the gstes of Hell..

It may well be that a majority of voters is open to a marxist based form of government but we can't surrender just to preserve the status quo for the Romney's of the nation.

If they'd been in power in 1776 we'd still be singing God Save the Queen.

Assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts, Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1,,,,,,,

Thanks for the post, I wasn't aware Romney signed this bill almost 7 years ago.

In 2008 I didn't vote for McCain, I voted against 0bama. McCain just happened to be his opposition.

In 2008 someone ask me if I was a republican, I answered "No I am a conservative and no longer a republican"

If Karl Rowe's republicans nominate another RINO like Romney, Huckabee, McCain or others, I will sit this one out even if someone as despicable as Soro's lackey 0bama is on the ballot.

Hear me RNC, I am a conservative.

Curious if Romney has armed security?

Just one more (albeit major) reason in a long list (and growing) of reasons why this man should never be allowed to be President or serve in any other semi-major capacity in government. This Obama-lite populist POS stinks to high heaven. Beware the MSM trying to pick/push this libtard as the Republican party’s next POTUS candidate just as they did with McCainiac in ‘08.

Well, hopefully this puts a dent in Romney for President.

This is not fair.

THEY FORCED Romney to do this.
Romney had no choice.
Just like THEY FORCED him to sign RomneyCARE. [/s]


Romney aide’s bogus badges: Sources detail ‘illegal’ security tactic

" Boston Herald - Friday, July 20, 2007
In an apparent violation of the law, a controverisal aide to ex-Gov. Mitt Romney
created phony law enforcement badges that he and other staffers used on the campaign trail

to strong-arm reporters, avoid paying tolls and trick security guards
into giving them immediate access to campaign venues, sources told the Herald.
They (the aides) knew the badges were fake and probably illegal,”
said a presidential campaign source who asked for anonymity
because the story could damage the individual’s career.
Two additional sources confirmed that the badges - described as bright silver plates with a state seal attached -
were first created and used by Garrity while Romney was still governor." Romney Presidential campaign caught with fake LEOs and fake badges in two states (includes NH).

Myth Romney 2007 campaign's dirty tricks included phoney State Troopers caught in two states
before he was caught using push polls, fake and deceptive stories to the Press about others,
and other dirty tricks on a daily basis.

FAKE TROOPER (and Chief of Operations)

Need a definitive definition of what’s an assault weapon. Machine guns are illegal and have been for over 60 years.

Fully automatic guns are 100% legal to own. They just need to be manufactured prior to 1986, and you have to pay the Feds a $200 tax when they change ownership.

Somewhat agnostic on potential candidates, but almost daily Romney seems to be getting increasingly unsavory.

I won’t say this definitely places him in the NO column, but it is darn close.

Well, no surprise, really.

I consider it a good thing that Romney has put his presidential aspirations on auto-destruct sooner than later.

That whooshing sound you hear is 80,000,000 gun owners running away from Mittens as fast as possible.

I am happy that one of the potential Republican candidates can be eliminated from consideration just off of the issues.

Romney has no chance.

USC Title 18, Sect 242. Deprivation of Civil Rights under Color of Law.

Throw Romney in jail.

I'm dead serious. If there are those who aren't as serious, they are part of the problem.

If it has that shoulder thing that flips up, and maybe a bayonet, then it might be an assault weapon.

Another way to tell is to show a picture of one to a Democrat. If they p*ss themselves, then it's an assault weapon.

It must be made by the same company that makes the "AR-100". The Maryland Assault Weapons code specifically targets the "AR-100", whatever that is.
