Dear Editor:

It looks like the Obama vs. Romney race is about to begin. Gentlemen, start your engines!

Let’s get the show on the road with the guns and Second Amendment issue. Mitt Romney spoke some powerful words at the recent NRA convention. He declared that he stood for firm protection of the NRA philosophy. Gov. Romney added that in his presidency, he will defend the Second Amendment for the people. I wonder if he supports the “stand your ground” laws that are sweeping the country?

He attacked Obama, by saying that the president, in his second term, has a secret plan to take away guns from Americans! What Romney failed to tell the NRA boys is that as governor of Massachusetts he signed legislation which permanently banned assault weapons in his commonwealth. He neglected to say the President Obama signed into law the right of National Park visitors to carry concealed guns — subject to state laws!

Time for a truth check. Gov. Willard Mitt Romney is fast becoming Mr. Flip Flopper.
