Mitt Romney is saying he will veto any gun control bill that crosses his desk (Hat tip The Corner).
[H]e says he'll veto any gun control bills that cross his desk as President, including a renewal of the "assault weapon" ban . . .
However, in December, he told Meet the Press a different story:
So, once again, Romney has changed positions on an important conservative issue.
I'm still voting for him over McCain (and in fact, did yesterday in vote-by-mail). Even a flip-flopper is preferable to President Maverick.
He's a lying scumbag.
Romney can't change his views fast enough to even appear consistent. Or, maybe his Staff doesn't know this morning's "party line?" Part of me wishes he could lie better.

"Governor Romney does not believe we need any more gun laws in this country. Like President Bush, he would sign a gun law if it was carefully written to target weapons of unusual and unnecessary lethality or power."

Romney says he is a "lifelong hunter". trouble is he's been hunting exactly TWICE. The last time 40 years ago. First he says he will BAN GUNS and then he says he "respects" the Second Amendment. Which is it?

He certainly didn't endear himself to gun owners here in Massachusetts.
