So what's the deal with Mitt, is he anti gun or not? I missed that part.

He says he's not anti, but he used to be.

That make sense?

I'm not sure... there's a lot of people out there right now that used to be something else, but now they say they aren't.

I'm still stumped

Look at this for Romney's position on lots of issues, including guns:

Seems to be covering himself for both sides (typical politician). Quoted from above site:

* I support the work of the NRA, but disagree sometimes. (Dec 2007)
* Ok to ban lethal weapons that threaten police. (Dec 2007)
* Supports Second Amendment rights but also assault weapon ban. (May 2007)
* Will support assault weapons bill and Brady Bill. (Aug 1994)

Exactly which lethal weapon could not be used to threaten police?

Threaten the police with a limp noodle and the next thing you know its a full pasta ban

Yeah - because he's a "flip-floper"...

There really are no good choices in a presidential election.

It's like choosing a punch in the mouth or a kick in groin. Given the choice, I'll take the punch in the mouth, but come on. Is this the best we can really do as a nation?

Weapons dont threaten people.
If the man uttered that statement you'd be nuts to vote for him. IMHO of course.

Cant see how anyone who cares about RKBA could not vote for Mr Paul.
Maybe he is nuts, but at least he's an honest nut. The rest may be honest as politicians go, but thats a mighty low standard.

Thanks, our primary is today. I didn't think I liked him from the start. this process is so messed up I think I'll vote for Ron Paul myself just as a protest. I'm not sure it even matters.

John McCain's views seem reasonable. I voted for him today, as did my wife.

You have got to be freaking kidding me. This guys from Mass. He is as anti-gun as it gets. He is running to the middle flip-flopping away and hoping you believe him!
