Romney, 65, also backed a ban on certain assault weapons in a 1994 federal anti-crime bill.

Ahead of todays speech, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweaked Romney using similar lines of attack as Santorum.
The presidents record makes clear the he supports and respects the Second Amendment, LaBolt said in a statement, referring to the constitutional measures protecting the right to bear arms. Mitt Romney is going to have difficulty explaining why he quadrupled fees on gun owners in Massachusetts then lied about being a lifelong hunter in an act of shameless pandering. That varmint wont hunt.
