Mit Romney would have been on the side of Gov. Gage in 1775 as "assault weapons" in civilian hands were the start of our war of independence.

On April 19, 1775, British and American soldiers exchanged fire in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord. On the night of April 18, the royal governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, commanded by King George III to suppress the rebellious Americans, had ordered 700 British soldiers, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith and Marine Major John Pitcairn, to seize the colonists' military stores in Concord, some 20 miles west of Boston.

Absolutely right. Concord and Lexington were about gun control. They are now two of the most PC towns in a PC state.
