No. ... Here is Romney’s pro-gun ad.

“Now *these* guns are made for recreation ... hunting varmints ... critters ... like rabbits, which I did a few times back when I was a teenager” ....

Bugs Bunny pops out of a hole.
“Nyaaaa, what’s up doc?”

LOL, here is some support for Mitt from a Mitt Romney for President site. http://mittforpresident.wordpress.com/2007/05/16/second-gop-debate-in-south-carolina/

“”I can think of another position that Romney has that the extreme right does not: He upholds the ban on assault weapons. Notice that I say “extreme right” not “Republican.” I don’t think many Republicans believe that assault weapons are a needful thing - who honestly goes hunting for deer with an assault weapon? No one. That kind of gun power is needed for one thing, and one thing only: To kill humans in large numbers. You can protect your family, you can hunt, you can go take out those varmints that Romney’s fond of hunting, all with just a rifle, or a pistol, or whatever. An assault weapon is not needed. The NRA seems to think that if they give up this small concession, that they’ll lose the war. I don’t believe that. Just like no one in the NRA is fighting to allow the common person to have grenades at their house to use whenever they want, I don’t think they ought to be fighting to allow assault weapons. No one but murderers need them.

So yeah, there’s two positions that I can think of that Romney has, that is not popular with the Republican base/extreme right wingers (and that includes my father. “”
