Romney, Huntsman Stonewall Gun Owners

January 10, 2012

Printer Friendly | Email |

(GunReports.com) -- As South Carolina voters get set to head to the polls, Mitt and Jon Huntsman continue to ignore requests from gun owners that he return the GOA candidate questionnaire.

Thank to member efforts, the organization has heard from most of the Republican candidates, including Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. But, according to GOA, Romney and Huntsman continue to turn a deaf ear to the Second Amendment community.

GOA says:

Romney’s stonewalling is no surprise. After all, he is on record supporting a semi-auto ban and waiting periods for gun purchases. Still, he has the audacity to travel around the country claiming to be a supporter of the Second Amendment.

If he truly has “changed his spots,” then why not commit in writing to support specific Second Amendment issues?

For instance, would he veto a semi-auto ban, something he signed into law as Governor of Massachusetts? Will he reverse the Obama administration’s support of the massive UN small arms treaty? And what


GOA wonders if Mitt Romney would veto a semi-auto ban, something he signed into law as Governor of Massachusetts?
about executive orders, gun owner registration, and a host of other issues important to gun owners?

Jon Huntsman views on gun rights are largely unknown, but as the former Utah governor creeps up in the polls in New Hampshire, gun owners are becoming increasingly interested in his positions.

Huntsman said over the summer that he would “absolutely veto” a semi-auto ban, but he has not elaborated further.

Please contact the Romney and Huntsman campaigns and urge them to complete the GOA candidate questionnaire.

When it comes to politics Mitt is no differant than OB. It won't make a bit of differance if Mitt takes the presidency after all we have Romney care in Massachusetts the model the Obama administration used for Obama Care and if there's anyone out there who thinks he gives a rats' a** about the second amendment I have a bridge for sale.

Romney is a weasel. You cannot trust anything he says. If you cant trust that, why vote for him or anyone else the is untrustworthy (Obama).

This weasel has a position on firearms. Just look up Mass laws! Were any changed while he was gov? NO! so more Kalifornia style, Mass style, New York style etc could very well coming our way. Be alert and watch this weasel very carefully. If you find out something please post it for all of us to read. Thank you

We may never see a truly fair and square candidate make it to the ballot in our lifetime. At this point our choice appears it'll be a vote for Romney to unseat Obummer and prevent a truly horrible constitution destroying lame duck term -or- toss your vote elsewhere in a meaningless show of personal protest. Yeah, Mitt's just another snake disguised as a game show host but I don't think he can grow the stones to destroy our country in his first term. Oblamo has absolutely gotta go at the risk of just about anything!

We already know that stonewalling is almost invariably a tactic of the guilty. Our cultural insistence on 'proof' is what lets so many of them skate. Let's call these guys what they are until they prove otherwise - gun-grabbing weasels who are NOT to be trusted. Remember Toad Hall!

Dragonchow - I like that "snake disguised as a game show host!"

Thanks, PVB. Every once in a great while I let slip something worthwhile.

Would you buy a used car from this man? Or any of them? Romney is the front-runner and purportedly the Obama-beater. He can't really afford to offend anyone. Getting a clear statement from him about guns (or any other 'hot button' issue) is going to be like pulling teeth. Besides, who cares what he says? Mitt is a consummate politician. How can you tell one is expediently lying? His lips move. Sorry, I guess my cynicism is showing.

"Would you buy a used car from this man?" Wow, I was just teleported back to the Nixon administration! That was a common poster in those days, and I think a T-shirt too.

I thought that line was about Nixon circa 1960. In '68 it was the very pregnant woman holding a "Nixon's the One" sign at the Republican convention (wasn't Mitt's daddy also running that year?). In '72 it was the T-shirt/poster, "Nixon was the One in '68, He'll Be a Bigger One in '72."

You may be right. I was young, but there, both times. At this point, they're not that far apart in my mind... although the difference between Nixon '60 and Nixon resigning was a long time to me back then. Heck, the difference between Nixon inaugurated and Nixon resigning was a long time - I thought it would never end.

I believe that Obama is such a serious threat to American liberty, the American economy, American foreign policy, American customs and traditions, etc, that I am sold on the idea of ABO in November.....Anybody But Obama. No matter who that ABO might be, I believe that leaving Obama in power is the worst possible outcome, and we must all make certain that we publicize this idea as widely as possible.

I agree Sir!

ANYBODY BUT OBAMA...Have we a concensus? Given a unanimous decision here and I'll get the bumper stickers and T-shirts on order.

Id sport an "Anybody but Obama" bumper sticker,,,but not a Gingrich or Romney sticker, go figure
