I thought this is a good article with some interesting facts on the two presidential candidates when it comes to gun control. A few highlights:
Obama:
Passed legislation to allow concealed carry in national parks
Passed legislation to allow concealed carry on amtrak trains
Received an "F" rating from the Brady center to prevent gun violence (anti-gun association)
Has passed no legislation to ban or restrict 2nd amendment rights.
Willard:
When running for governor in 02', supported the state's "tough gun laws". The NRA gave his democratic opponent a better rating
Quadrupled the state's gun licensing fee as governor
After the federal assault weapons ban expired, Willard signed a state level assault weapons ban.
During a presidential debate, said he would sign a federal assault weapons ban if it hit his desk as president.
The interesting thing is Obama has been a pretty staunch conservative when it comes to gun laws, where Willard is strongly liberal.
A question for Romney voters, will having him being pro-gun control while Obama being strongly pro-freedom affect your vote?
