LIBERTY ALERTS, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA
As New Hampshire voters get set to head to the polls, Mitt and Jon Huntsman continue to ignore requests from gun owners that he return the GOA candidate questionnaire.
Thank to your efforts, we’ve heard from most of the Republican candidates, including Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. But Romney and Huntsman continue to turn a deaf ear to the Second Amendment community.
Romney’s stonewalling is no surprise. After all, he is on record supporting a semi-auto ban and waiting periods for gun purchases. Still, he has the audacity to travel around the country claiming to be a supporter of the Second Amendment.
If he truly has “changed his spots,” then why not commit in writing to support specific Second Amendment issues?
For instance, would he veto a semi-auto ban, something he signed into law as Governor of Massachusetts? Will he reverse the Obama administration’s support of the massive UN small arms treaty? And what about executive orders, gun owner registration, and a host of other issues important to gun owners?
Jon Huntsman views on gun rights are largely unknown, but as the former Utah governor creeps up in the polls in New Hampshire, gun owners are becoming increasingly interested in his positions.
Huntsman said over the summer that he would “absolutely veto” a semi-auto ban, but he has not elaborated further.
There are some 100 million gun owners in America. It is outrageous for ANY candidate for elected office to ignore this vast segment of the population.
ACTION: Please contact the Romney and Huntsman campaigns and urge them to complete the GOA candidate questionnaire.

One can still purchase a Hi-Point 9mm semi-auto long gun in MA. It just has none of the above features.
I really hate that guy and I hope NH voters give his smug arse the smack down he deserves.
Thanks for sharing the info and e-mail addresses. I’ve asked Romney to answer the questionnaire, stressing no votes for any candidate who supports gun control laws that would be ignored by criminals.
Also reminded him that his silence on the questionnaire will be interpreted as “something to hide”.
Further proof that Romney is not a Conservative. When is the NRA going to come out with an endorsement? I know it’s not going to be Romney or Huntsman.
"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."
Yep, if I didn’t keep mine locked up...
There is no telling what mine would be going around and doing while I wasn’t watching!!!
Oops, almost forgot...

Whew, that was a close one...;-)

Funny, I use mine for killing ground hogs and it is quite effective for that purpose.
You would think that it would be absolutely useless for killing varmints if it was designed to kill an animal about 20 time larger.
