"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
-Mitt Romney
Under the HR10/22 bill regulating gun sales my Ruger 10-22 semi automatic .22 caliber rifle (amazing coincidence that the bill has the same designation) will be designated an assault weapon. If Romney is anti gun I’m anti Romney.
I like Mitt but that is a retarded statement from him.
Reagan also suppported the Brady Bill and AWB. Romney holds the same position as Reagan did. The NRA endorsed the bill in Mass Romney signed.
"You do know that I'm a member of the NRA, and my position on the right to bear arms is well known...But I want you to know something else, and I am going to say it in clear, unmistakable language: I support the Brady bill, and I urge the Congress to enact it without further delay." Ronald Reagan
"Listen to the American public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the further manufacture of assault weapons.” Ronald Regan
“As a longtime gun owner and supporter of the right to bear arms, I, too, have carefully thought about this issue. I am convinced that the limitations imposed in this bill are absolutely necessary. I know there is heavy pressure on you to go the other way, but I strongly urge you to join me insupporting this bill. It must be passed.” Letter to former Rep. Scott Klug (R-WI) Ronald Reagan
