Here is a link to an article on Gun Owners Action League site about Romney's true gun control record in Massachusetts. It seems a lot of people here and on other sites seem to believe only what the media wrote about his signing a AWB in Massachusetts. When In fact we had a AWB in this state since 1994 that did not expire. Overall his tenure as governor actually had a positive effect for gun owners in this state. He did not sign any gun control bill while in office, and actually supported some pro gun bills. He is the only Governor in recent years to actually support and sign pro gun bills into law. The Republican Governors before him caved into the antis demands, and supported more gun control. When looking at his record you have to take into account the general political atmosphere in Massachusetts, which to say in not pro gun. Actually in recent years things have gotten better for us, but we still have to fight for small gains. We are still behind the eight ball with a solid Democrat legislature, and now a liberal Democrat as governor. Now I am only posting this to set the record straight, not to support him. This is only to clear up some misinformation posted on the internet by people who only read one side of the story.

To read the rest of the article click on the link.Legislation: During the Romney Administration, no anti-second amendment or anti-sportsmen legislation made its way to the Governor’s desk.
Governor Romney did sign five pro-second amendment/pro-sportsmen bills into law. His administration also worked with Gun Owners’ Action League and the Democratic leadership of the Massachusetts House and Senate to remove any anti-second amendment language from the Gang Violence bill passed in 2006. A summary of this legislation follows.
