Title: Huck vs. Mitt exchange on 2nd Am. in yesterday's debate
Post by: jpr9954 on January 25, 2008, 11:20:57 AM
I just copied this out of the MSNBC transcript of the debate. It has Huckabee asking Romney about his statements on the 2nd Amendment, gun control, and the AWB. I thought since we don't have Fred anymore (sigh), we need to know more about where the remaining few stand or waffle.
John
Huckabee: Mitt, I would like to ask you a question that came up during your interview with Tim Russert on "Meet the Press." And it has to do with the Second Amendment. You indicated that you support the Second Amendment, but on that interview, you indicated that you also supported a ban on so-called -- and I use the term "so-called" -- assault weapons and supported Brady.
For many of us who are strong adherents to the Second Amendment, that's not quite consistent, to say you're for Brady and so-called assault gun ban, but support of the Second Amendment, because we see that that's really a denial of the Second Amendment.
I would appreciate some clarification on, do you support Brady? Do you support the assault weapon ban? And your position on exactly what restrictions government should put on Second Amendment rights.
Romney: I do support the Second Amendment. And I believe that this is an individual right of citizens and not a right of government. And I hope the Supreme Court reaches that same conclusion.
I also, like the president, would have signed the assault weapon ban that came to his desk. I said I would have supported that and signed a similar bill in our state.
It was a bill worked out, by the way, between pro-gun lobby and anti-gun lobby individuals. Both sides of the issue came together and found a way to provide relaxation in licensing requirements and allow more people to have guns for their own legal purposes. And so we signed that in Massachusetts and I said I would support that at the federal level, just as the president said he would.
It did not pass at the federal level. I do not believe we need new legislation.
I do not support any new legislation of an assault weapon ban nature, including that against semiautomatic weapons. I instead believe that we have laws in place that if they're implemented and enforced, will provide the protection and the safety of the American people. But I do not support any new legislation, and I do support the right of individuals to bear arms, whether for hunting purposes or for protection purposes or any other reason. That's the right that people have.

The sad part is over on the Shooting Times 2A forum there is a former Fredhead who can't wait to vote for Romney.

I think Mitt would make a great.........Secretary of Commerce. I just don't know if I trust him as President. For some reason, I just can't see myself going out and having a drink with the man. ;D

Romney, McCain, Rudy, Hillary, Obama. Every stinking one of them are anti-gun. Huck is the only true blue candidate on the 2nd Amendment left, and I just don't think he has the money and support to hang in there much longer. Once again, I am voting Libertarian!

Gov. Huckabee is the only true Pro 2nd candidate we have left that can take on the Clinton Political machine!
Go here to listen to Mike's speech during the NRA "Celebration of American Values" :
"...But they were still concerned that the system could fail, and that we might someday face a new tyranny from our own government. They wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, and that's why they gave us the Second Amendment."
Ron Paul was invited to the NRA symposium but did not attend

It's only common sense~~not rocket science! I'm sure most of you have seen this one, but I thought it was worth putting up anyway... Watch:

Way to go HAZ, when seconds count, the police are minutes away. No offense to LEO's anywhere, you get there as fast as you can, sometimes to help, sometimes to take statements from the survivors, and witnesses.
