Author Topic: Romney's "Pro-Gun" Record??? (Read 1058 times)

He's on record as supporting "assault weapons" ban, and a mandatory 5-day waiting period to purchase in the past. He also claims to be a hunter, but he's never held a hunting license in any state. Just wondering....

YEA!........ But he's sorry he did, and would have bought a hunting license if he could have afforded it

So really, what's the point? No one on this forum chose Romney as their first choice. Most of us live in the real world where we understand that Romney isn't perfect, but we also understand the differenc between "not perfect" and Obama.

Anyone who believes that Obama is gun friendly and respects the Second Amendment is either stupid, or really stupid. Most of us also realize that there is a lot more at stake than assault weapens (whatever that might be) in the next election.

Don't even try to go after me about owning guns. I have more guns than God --including assault weapons enough to start my own war and I'll not surrender them to Romney, or Obama.

So really, what's the point? I think the point the poster is making is.....Romney's beliefs are very much in line with Liberal views. No one on this forum chose Romney as their first choice. Most of us live in the real world where we understand that Romney isn't perfect, but we also understand the differenc between "not perfect" and Obama. The OP never mentioned Obama!

Anyone who believes that Obama is gun friendly and respects the Second Amendment is either stupid, or really stupid.Again...No one said anything about obama being gun friendly! This thread is not about Obama! "Read the heading" Romney's Pro-gun record. If you want to start a thread about Obama's stand on gun ownership and the second Amendment, you can do so.Lets try to keep this on topic without name calling! OK?Most of us also realize that there is a lot more at stake than assault weapens (whatever that might be) in the next election.

I have to agree with magooch on this one. I AM going to vote for Romney. Almost any one is better than what we now have.

Romney isn`t perfect...Huh he`s taken both sides of every issue in politics and life how could he be anything but perfect...He's a pathological liar devoid of truth or conviction...He said he`s a hunter yet has never hunted...He says he knows how to create jobs..yet he destroyed thousands to fill his pockets with millions...He`s a vulture
His compassion is for him and his cronies pocket books...He supports corporation's ability to cancel a employees health care if the said employee gets cancer or other serious diseases...His so called budget would add 5 trillion to the debt by giving trillions to the rich and corporations...while gutting Social Security....Medicare...
So go vote for the jerk but don`t start crying when your gasoline goes to $10.00 a gallon....and alll your utilities triple...and you lose your health care or you cost triples...
He hides his money out of the country and takes $77.000 deduction for a horse...how nice ...
He`s the biggest liar in history worst than the crook bush....

There is not much to wonder about, he was governor of Massachusetts, then represented them at a higher level in the senate.
Did he do anything for gun owners in that State? I would not be allowed in that state with what guns I legally own here and would go to jail for using them in the same manner I use them here. Far as comparing him to Obama, who is worse and all that, all I have to say is man, the republicrats sure scraped the bottom of the barrel again. Ya...OK Obama is worse in more ways. So now what? Who's the next republican pick gonna be? Not a lot to look forward to no matter how you cut it.
So now the Romney supporters need to also admit they will go to the polls with their heads hanging down and a frown on their face...you really can't be feeling all that good about pulling that lever for Romney.

These things might happen under Romney but they WILL happen under Obama.

So tell me, all those that think Romney is so bad (and I am not saying he's not) but tell me, who are YOU going to vote for? Obama? Someone who stands no chance of getting elected, who ever that might be!
You want 4 more years of what we have had and maybe more so.
Romney may not be any better but he might be, who knows?
To be honest it's the rest of the idiots in congress that you really should be worried about.

The "real" conservatives on this forum get awful uptight and defensive if you post anything bad about Mitt Obamney. Those defensive posts will never negate the fact that Romney is a tried and true liberal.

jimster · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:16:59 PM »

It's getting to the point where the republican party scares me almost as much as Obama does. They been headed left for some years now, give them a few more years and both parties might as well blend in together and come up with a new name.
For the people who are republicans, and conservative at all, I don't know how you can stand the pain of watching this. I personally wash my hands of it. I listen to democrats tell me conservative is a bad thing, and republicans tell I'm the reason they can't win.
I already won...I walked away from all of it. I don't need republicans telling me Obama is my fault. I'll find a way to survive without republicans. As far as republicans telling me my vote don't count...I think it does, or they would not be begging for it. They are in deep trouble I think. Again...not my fault. I'll wait for things to get much much worse...that's when things will get better. I'll survive somehow. We need a real revolution to get things right again. There is really no other way, and I think some of us know it. We have seen this all over the world, and it's happening here now again. You all know it deep down. The corruption from within is too deep, and there is too much money and power at stake for you to vote your way out of this mess. The republicans pushing Romney on us just shows they are at the end of their life cycle.

Well that clinches it. I'm going to have to vote for His High Exultedness this coming election. Yep you have convinced me. Four years of economic disaster be damned I'm going over to the European Socialist Party ( Democrat ), cuz that Romney has said bad things about guns in the past. Never mind the fact even Dear Leader admits he could not run through an anti gun agenda if he wanted, not the votes in House and Senate.

After the four years under this fool my business can't stand another four, I would be bankrupt.
If it weren't for my savings accounts I would be there now.
You all can vote for whom ever you like but I am voting for the only one who stands a chance in beating the current LIAR IN THE WHITE HOUSE and that is Romney.
Do I like him? Not really.
Will he be any better? Only time will tell.
All I know is I will never vote for the fool that is in there now, no third party candidate stands a chance at this time, and I will never give up my right to vote for whom I wish.
If we weren't trying to get this nut out then maybe I could vote for someone else, but not this go around!!!

Romney didn't just say bad things about guns, he SIGNED A PERMANENT BAN ON "ASSAULT" WEAPONS IN MASSACHUSETTS. He SIGNED a 300% increase in CCW and FID permit fees in Massachusetts.

In his 4 years as governor of Massachusetts Romney violated the 2nd Amendment more than Obama has in 4 years as president. Any 2nd Amendment loving American should be ashamed of themselves for voting for either one of these two gun haters.

I would advise you to not become a citizen of Massachusets.

This Second Amendment is the US Constitution is it not? The document that says what the Federal government can't do? As far as I am concerned a State can pass laws as it sees fit. I do not feel like we should be picking and choosing what we want from the US Constitution. This is how we can be rid of the damnable health care legislation and so much other Federal meddling in the affairs that States should be in charge of.

By law the Federal Government can not pass laws restricting the right to keep and bear arms. This crap of where is the comma or surely the framers could not envision... is plain and simple horse crap. By God they could envision, and it would seem to me that as soon as the revolutionary war was won they would have hurried around rounding up all the muskets... if that is how they intended citizens to live.

If we in fact hold our elected officials to their oath we will have no need to worry about what their desires are. What they did as State officials has little bearing on what they are allowed to do as Federal officials. Worry about the erosion of States rights, worry about the Fed's usurping their role. Make sure it stops, elect Congressmen who will do exactly that. The President should be just about the most useless elected official. Okay,

Obama does pass the most useless test.

Lest you think me stupid I understand the concern, but it's again too late. You have two choices (two ends of the crap sandwich) And I know which end I'm starting on... the one I haven't tried.
