- July 08, 2004

Governor Mitt Romney has signed into law a permanent assault weapons ban that he says will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on these guns.

“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen’s groups and gun safety advocates. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

I cant believe a company who produces "assault weapons" would support a gun grabber like Mitt Romney

I wont ever be buying a Robinson XCR!!!

Maybe they don't know his stance on the issue. Before we boycott we should try to inform them.

Happy New Year!!! Support Mitt Romney

After posting the following statement in support of Mitt Romney below, on www.xcrforum.com, and www.ar15.com, I've received lots of input, mostly negative regarding Mitt Romney. Much of it could be regarded as hate mail. My email box is so full I can hardly get through it. Though not all of the comments are kindly written, I am very thankful for all who have taken their time to write and post.

Our common goal, if I dare state it, is to get someone in the Whitehouse who will say no to gun bans (and fix the rest of our county's country). Before supporting Romney, I asked his staff for his position on firearms. I was given the statement which I have linked below in July.)

Two of your comments have trouble me: 1) That he did sign a ban of "Assault Weapons" in Mass.; and 2) He stated he would sign anti-gun legislation if it came across his desk on "Meet the Press." I was not aware of this comment on "Meet the Press."

I have forwarded your (and my) concerns to his staff by email. I have asked for a clear statement that he will not ban the assault weapons. I also spoke to one of his top staffers who is in Iowa today. He promises a quick response.

I do still believe that in general Mitt Romney is the most qualified candidate for President. However, if he will not state unequivocally that he will protect and not ban our beloved assault rifles, I will not be able to continue to support him.

I will post any reply I get here. I thank you all for your fervor in protecting the Second Amendment. Be assured that I stand by you in this effort.

I sincerely hope for the sake of America that we can protect this vital of all liberties.

Thanks for posting that letter, Dave.
Makes it much more clear what is going on.

That said
Pretty ironic. an (so called )"assault weapons" manufacturer supporting a candidate that is anti "AW". Wouldn't the candidate's position on AW's be one of the first thing you would check, in that position as an AW manufacturer? LOL
Or was Mitt's campaign signs just prettier than the others? :-/

I'd like to know if Alex J. Robinson is a Mormon?

Only thing I could guess why anyone in the firearms industry/hobby would support Romney.

Either that or cranial rectum inversion.

With all due respect Dave I don't care if Mr. Robinson is a Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, etc. (Note I did NOT list Muslim. I can't go that far.) I also don't think that it matters one little bite that Romney is a Mormon. By the way I a not a Mormon if you are thinking that. I think that the posted letter from Mr. Robinson was well stated and very clear.

I am not sure yet who I will support for president but I sure know a few who I will NOT support in any way.

I love in his letter he says he never knew Mitt would pass any AWB that came across his desk as president

How can you support someone you know nothing about?

aleast Bill Ruger knew what he was doing when he went anti "assault weapons"

[fultonCoShooter]

did you see this?

I just finished viewing Mitt's statements on "Meet the Press." See You Tube Clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=F9Ygw9CQ9po

No wonder the gun owners are so angry with Mitt and me for supporting him. He comes right out and says he'd sign and Assault Weapon Ban and ban any other "weapon of high lethality" or something to that effect.

I hate to say it but what Mitt said couldn't have caused much more damage. All he had to say was that he would protect the lawful ownership of firearms and prosecute those who misuse firearms. He didn't have to alienate a huge portion of his current and potential support base.

Do you realize that the Democrats who voted for the Federal Assault Weapon Ban in 1994 were run out of office in the next few years precisely because of angry gun owners? Do you have any idea how active gun owners are politically? Do your realize that the Department of Justice determined that the 10 years of the ban had no positive effect on crime? The reason the Assault Weapon Ban wasn't re-instated is that most of the Democrats were too scared to vote for it again and the Justice Department found it unenforceable and unnecessary.

Mitt is not running for the Governor of Massachusetts. He's running for the President of the United States. There's no need to cater to the ultra-liberal left. He's not going to get that vote anyway. He seems very ill advised to have made the statements he made.

I've asked you campaign guys several times to clarify this Assault Rifle issue. You guys kept sending me Mitt's statement on the Second Amendment. If Mitt really doesn't feel the Second Amendment applies to Assault Rifles, I wish you would have made that clear when I asked the question at least twice before.

Now I've stuck my neck out in support of Mitt trying to make a small difference in these primaries. I had no idea that gun owners were so angry at Mitt. You cannot believe the email I'm getting from current and potential customers. They've threatened to stop buying our products and sell the ones they have. They've threatened everything short of killing me. I kid you not.

Whoever is in charge of firearms policy for Mitt's campaign needs to talk to me and fast. There's no one in the country who knows more about this subject or who can talk about it more intelligently than I can.
