This year’s election is going to define the future of our freedom, perhaps more than any other in our history. For gun owners, there are a number of areas crucial to the survival of our Second Amendment rights. That’s why I took the time to visit with Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, to find out precisely where he stands on the issues of concern to gun owners.
Chris W. Cox: First, let me start with the most basic question of all. In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, and in the 2010 case McDonald v. City of Chicago, the U.S. Supreme Court—by a 5-4 majority—held that the Second Amendment guarantees the fundamental, individual right of all law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. Do you agree that the Second Amendment protects a fundamental, individual right to own and use firearms for all lawful purposes?
Gov. Mitt Romney: Absolutely, and I was pleased when the Court finally rendered a clear and concise decision on this critical issue. The Second Amendment is essential to our free society. I strongly support the right of all law-abiding Americans to exercise their constitutionally protected right to own firearms and to use them for lawful purposes, including self-defense; the protection of family and property; hunting and recreational shooting.

They talk about Heller, Mitt's Mass gun bill, hunting lands, Fast and Furious, and several other issues related to gun rights and the 2nd Amendment.
Romney’s answers almost seem like he’s reading them from a script. If I’m reading an interview with someone, I want it to sound like the person is actually talking, rather than reading from something.
Unfortunately that’s just what Romney sounds like all the time.
Regardless of wins this fall, conservatives and gun owners will not have an ally in the White House.
Supporting Romney over Obama is “deserting the Christian faith?”.
I’m sure the anti-christ, 12th imam, mahdi, loving stealth Muslim Obama welcomes your support.
Besides that I am not, nor have I ever been a “Mythbot”. I’m an “anyone that can actually win besides Obama-bot”, which you cannot say about your anti-mormon bigotry prevalent by your post in a thread, about an article that had absolutely nothing to do with Mormonism.
You need help. Really.
Take your overly religious, evangelical, biggoted, worthless ass the hell out of here.
If he was truly anti 2A he would not have picked Ryan as VP.
Personally, I’m very skeptical that Paul Ryan will have any influence in a Romney Administration. He’s window-dressing for Romney to shore up conservative support.
Two months isn't a heck of a lot longer.
Why don't you go find yourself a nice rapture thread so that you're with the other members of your cult and park your intolerant ass on it.
Better yet, why don't you go play with a rattle snake and take a couple gulps of arsenic.
