ugghhhh, why did you have to do that to me, Mitt?

I would sugget you investigate what really happened with this law in MA. The PRO-firearms groups were on board with the whole gig.... That being said (and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils time and again) make your vote count for Romney.

Bullit you are correct the largest organization in Mass. is on record talking about this, They already had an assault weapons ban and many other very strict gun laws on the books when Romney took office. The bill that Romney signed actually reduced the impediments to gun owners, this was a bill requested by the firearms community and did away with many problems caused by the conflicts in all the other laws. Would they have liked to do away with the assault weapons ban, yes, but they knew there was no chance of that getting through their state house.

Sorry, but that's gotta make most everyone laugh.
Particularly in context of this conversation.
The bill changes renewal time from 4 years to 6.... cutting the cost from $25 a year (annuitized) to $16. I'll grant that's kind of nice.
Grants a 90 day grace period on getting things renewed. Seems a bit 'meh' to me - I can't do that with my driver's license, vehicle registration, etc.
Peace officer provides a receipt of taken firearms (handy).
Review board: not a huge fan myself. Having recourse is handy, but who makes up that board ? Who's to say they aren't all anti-gun peoples etc ? They do seem to be pulled from all sorts of bureaucratic offices, though... so that may or may not be good.
There's a bit dealing with prior criminal history. It's a bit... confusing to read sadly. From what I've gathered on it, it allows juvenile offenses to no longer be an immediate no ?
Continues the 'assault weapons ban'.
.... This is is deemed a huge win, how ?

As for those that love Romney and hate Obama, I have a very simple question:
Can you name 5 policy differences between the two ?
