Via FoxNews, “Gun rights groups now aligning solidly behind Romney“:
“Gun-rights groups perceive President Barack Obama as a threat to unfettered access to firearms. They once had qualms about Mitt Romney, too. But times and circumstances have changed for Romney, the GOP presidential nominee now in tune with the National Rifle Association and similar organizations, whose members are motivated voters …”
What do they mean “once had”? Gunnies still do have reservations about Romney, lots of them. He’s not “in tune” with NRA either. NRA appears to have gotten some assurances from Romney on SCOTUS nominees and H.R. 822 which, along with not making Romney into the second coming of Charlton Heston, have quieted people down somewhat.
While the membership can be motivated to vote, I have not heard a single person say they’re excited about voting for Romney because of his latest positions on gun rights. Fortunately, with the economy such an overriding issue this election, the gun issue isn’t high up on peoples list of concerns right now.
