Mitt Romney<\/a> was asked about guns at yesterday’s GOP debate<\/a>. \u00a0His response<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c… I know that there are people who think that we need to new laws, we need to find new ways to restrict gun ownership \u2026 I disagree with that. \u00a0I believe we have in place all the laws we need. \u00a0We should enforce those laws. \u00a0I do not believe in new laws restricting gun ownership and gun use …\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This doesn’t inspire much confidence. \u00a0Given Romney’s lukewarm reception at NRA meetings, he has to know he’s not 2A advocates favorite candidate, but he has to come up with some answer to the question so we get this. \u00a0He should avoid the issue as much as possible as he won’t make any new friends talking about it.<\/p>\n
