He made the ban permanaent and now apparently wants a gun ban on the Federal level as well ... why ?!
See post 75 for a good comparison .
“He made the ban permanaent”
NO he didn’t; that is a misstatement of fact, check my previous post on that. That is simply WRONG. He passed a bill that reformed and fixed things in the already existing AWB, a bill the NRA and GOAL supported.
“and now apparently wants a gun ban on the Federal level”
He supports AWB, akin to G W B’s position. point taken. He’s not a 100% progun candidate. He got a B from NRA in 2002, otoh he does support an individual RKBA and wants USSC to overturn the DC gun ban.
Not perfect, but it would HELP if people wouldnt distort Romney’s record and make it worse than it really is.
Governor Mitt Romney has signed into law a permanent assault weapons ban that he says will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on these guns.
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen’s groups and gun safety advocates. “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.”

Romney’s shills are getting shrill trying to spin this away.
