This topic comes from a discussion on the VA boards and I thought I'd put it in general political discussion.
Romney is leading in NH and Iowa and is spending vast amounts of his own wealth to become president. This thread is meant to discuss his various (and I literally mean VARIOUS) views on gun control. Since he's had about 27 different views in the last 20 years on pretty much every issues, this may take awhile, but I think it's a worthwhile effort. Feel free to post the scores of videos of Romney and his various positions on gun control. Also, if anyone could find the video of him stating his support for the Assault Weapons Ban at the second GOP debate, that'd be great.
Any Mittwits feel free to chime in about how he's "changed" and that's why he's all of a sudden a conservative on gun control, gay rights, abortion immigration and taxes...all within the last2 years.

Duct Tape Alert!!!
This started when someone mentioned Romney's religion. I stated that Romney's religious beliefs don't bother me one bit. It's the fact that he's a liar without any guiding principles. It's also the fact that every time he speaks, he sounds like he's repeating words written for him by someone else. It's the fact that every time he repeats those soundbites written for him by his consultants, they contradict what he said just a year or 2 years before. He seriously sickens me. Every time I hear that robotic voice and see that slick hair I want to f***ing throw up.
He also scares me because I have NO IDEA how he would govern as president. His record and rhetoric are so inconsistent that there's no telling what he'd do.
One thing is clear about Romney: HE IS NOT FRIENDLY TOWARDS THE SECOND AMENDMENT
In the second GOP debate, Romney went out of his way to say, "I support the 2nd Amendment, but I also support an Assault Weapons Ban."
see this videoas he's caught off guard and shows his true colors, mentioning hunting when asked about the 2nd Amendment, misstating actual gun laws (saying automatic weapons aren't available to the public) and stating thathe's for gun control.
Now this is what pisses me off!!In 2002Mitt said he supports MA gun control laws andpromised "I support them. I won't chip away at them" saying they make people safe :shock: (I repeat, he said he SUPPPORTED MASSACHUSSETTS GUN CONTROL LAWS AND SAID THEY MADE PEOPLE SAFER). Now he says to the NRA that he "expanded the rights of gun owners" while governor.................
WHICH IS IT, YOULYING^&$#@*^& !!!???You're either lying to us, you lied to them or you're lying to both of us. And if you lied to the libs in your state to get elected, why should we trust you now?
And don't forget that he's a "lifelong hunter"...except he's never actually been hunting buttwice in his entire adult life. Oh, and then there's how he constantly attacked the NRA while he was governor of MA and now carries his "lifetime NRA member" card everywhere he goes. It's IMPOSSIBLE to know where he ACTUALLY stands. That's why he's so scary.
He's done the same flip-flopping, double-talking and LYING when it comes to abortion, immigration, tax-raising and gay marriage.
There is no way in HELL I would ever vote for Mitt Romney. Ever. If the Angel Gabriel came to me and told me I would cast the deciding vote of the 2008 election and it was between Hillary and Romney, I would still write in Mickey Mouse before pulling the lever for that ....ahem...I don't want to call him a man...or a person..... Of all the candidates, Romney is the only one I hate because he's such a transparent liar. It appears he's going to get away with it too.
