Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.   J. F. K.

"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts.... 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."...in 2004 after signing the first state level assault weapons ban, basically making permanent in Massachusetts the federal AWB which was sunsetting ... He is now trying to convince all of us he is a friend to the 2A movement. This pandering has to stop, and we have to stop tolerating it.

I agree that he needs educating, and is not the best person for the job, but Barry Obama is certainly worse.

While I agree Governor Romney is better, the lesser of two evils is still evil. I truly don't think education is what he needs, he will and has continued to point whichever way the wind blows.

I agree, Romney is no friend to gun owners.  He's just less of an enemy than Zero is.

David, that's exactly why I will vote for Romney even though I don't like him.  He's less likely to appoint another Sotamayor or Kagan.

I don't know about y'all, but i am getting darned tired of holdin' my nose and voting for the Lesser of Two Weasels.....
The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

Gary Johnson looks appealing.
