Via FoxNews, “Gun rights groups now aligning solidly behind Romney<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“Gun-rights groups perceive President Barack Obama<\/a> as a threat to unfettered access to firearms. \u00a0They once had qualms about Mitt Romney<\/a>, too. \u00a0But times and circumstances have changed for Romney, the GOP presidential nominee now in tune with the National Rifle Association<\/a> and similar organizations, whose members are motivated voters …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What do they mean “once had”? \u00a0Gunnies still do have reservations about Romney, lots of them. \u00a0He’s not “in tune” with NRA<\/a> either. \u00a0NRA appears to have gotten some assurances from Romney on SCOTUS<\/a>\u00a0nominees and H.R. 822<\/a> which, along with not making Romney into the second coming of Charlton Heston<\/a>, have quieted people down somewhat.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0Fortunately, with the economy such an overriding issue this election, the gun issue isn’t high up on peoples list of concerns right now.<\/p>\n
