Why couldn’t he just be honest

Because he's a politician. Let's review...how do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving. How do you know you're politically niave? You think he isn't. There.

Ok Im gonna guess the two old grits in the back row are the real hunters, and the dude in the middle/front is the lib.

Romney’s just another East coast liberal once you strip him of his BS and pretensions. He means to rule, not to govern. Ruck Fomney.

Pandering always gets you in hot water.

So he's a panderer. Better to know that sooner than later.

My first thought too. I just hope they don’t release any photos with him holding a shotgun. LOL.

Accusing a politician of pandering is like accusing a bird of singing.

“I just hope they don’t release any photos with him holding a shotgun”

If I ever get face time with Mitt I’m going to invite him to a CMP match “where he can meet other shooters”.

Think he’ll show up? He’d look good in a Cordura jacket, blinders, and a Garand! What a photo-op!

Wow...From the liberal press: “send out the “Conservatives” to shoot down their own.”

Some serious hunters out there huh?

When I was a kid I went hunting with my Uncle who was avid. He helped me take my hunter’s safety course and I shot guns and hunted for maybe a year’s worth of my life.

I still to this day consider myself Pro-Gun and Pro-Second Amendment. No where in the LIBERAL article that you got this info from, and you need to admit, that you would have never picked up on it otherwise because you are “Conservative”, does it say that Romney stated that he was against the Second Amendment in the past. While it may have been an error in stating “I’ve been a lifelong hunter”, be honest and quote the whole dialogue and you’ll see that there’s nothing there. Even the article is not that deep. It’s the headline that says more than the article.

Look rather than attacking the other people in the race so that you can prop your guy, why don’t you go to your guy’s campaign and ask why he isn’t doing more? Why is their message only attracting the “Wiley” intellectuals like yourselves?

If you’re attack is based on your hate for Mitt Romney because he’s a Mormon then I suggest you go to the other side where they welcome bigots as long as they can do it without being called on it.

You “Conservatives” need to grow up and leave the left wing propaganda and attacks to them. Heaven forbid that your guy comes to the front and they get shouted out for every little asinine thing they do and to top that off it’s your own that start’s to eat at him. I don’t see you guys licking your chops for Rudy and what did he just say about abortion again?

You assume way too much. That or you posted to the wrong person. Gladiators are supposed to be able to control their weapons but you're just swinging wildly.

Good day.

Rudy is honest about himself!

Yep. He doesn't like guns and will sign legislation to ban them.

#1 reason not to vote for either of them...

LOL! He puts words in your mouth and then attacks you for them.

Conservative Gladiator's quite the slayer of straw men.

No... for that, we can quote Mitt himself.

GOA's take on him

Guiliani and McCain are no better.

“...Romney [never] stated that he was against the Second Amendment in the past.”

Romney, like Hillary and Bill Clinton, Sarah Brady, John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy have always stated that they support the Second Amendment. You won’t find a statement from Mitt to the contrary or from Hill, Bill, Sarah, or Schumer.

He has stated, though, that he is opposed to citizens owning “assault weapons” and supported the federal ban, and supported and signed a permanent Massachusetts ban on “assault weapons” and “big magazines”. He reaffirmed his opposition to citizens owning deadly things like “assault weapons” on Steffi’s show in February (Feb 18?) while affirming his support for the Second Amendment.

He also supported the Brady Act waiting period and background check.

So his support of the Second Amendment includes banning poorly-defined classes of firearms, waiting periods, and Federal background checks.

Add to that his statements that he owns guns, and is a lifelong hunter (without owning guns or being a hunter) and I get a pretty clear picture of Governor Mitt Romney’s stance on RKBA.
