I don't think Romney WILL support liberty anymore than Obama. However, I've never been a big fan of Obama's foreign or fiscal policy. I actually don't like Romney's (or the republican party's) social platform. Things like gay marriage and abortion. The reality is though, I still believe America is in a crisis fiscally, so the social values, in my book, have to take second place. If the economy were where I'd like it to be, I'd probably vote dem. Though they'd have to stop targeting my guns as public enemy #1. I understand this may upset some of our "political regulars", but please don't argue this one with me simply because they are opinions, purely subjective. |

I'm just on my phone here and about at where I need to be, so I'm going to hit the broad sweeping points: Assault weapons != automatic weapons. Without ~$15,000, I cannot get an automatic weapon. There are annual licensing fees AND they can't be of post 1987 construction. Going hunting with a machine gun is a misconception. My M1A is considered an assault weapon. It is used as a designated marksman rifle in the military today. Obama's party and objectives have always been anti-gun. If he goes after guns, it's acceptable. If Romney does, his party disowns him. Romney was playing within the framework of US law to make the most money as possible for his businesses. Now, his business is to make the most money for the US. Like I said, Romney was never my first choice. |
