So there is one presidential candidate who actively support a full ban on assault weapons. That would be Romney. As governor of Massachusetts, he signed a permanent ban on assault weapons. Here is what he said at the time:
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony 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.”
Like the federal assault weapons ban, the state ban, put in place in 1998, was scheduled to expire in September. The new law ensures these deadly weapons, including AK-47s, UZIs and Mac-10 rifles, are permanently prohibited in Massachusetts no matter what happens on the federal level.
Then during the debate, he claims that automatic weapons are illegal across the US, even though that is false. He seems to favor strict limitations on the 2nd Amendment.

And he was further to the left of Ted Kennedy as well. And he was for an individual mandate on health insurance, even at the federal level. And on, and on, and on. Nothing like having a candidate with conviction.

Really? You prefer someone without convictions, who will say whatever he believes will get him elected, who will change his stances on key issues with the wind, who will sketch himself to be whatever he thinks will get him votes? Well then, Mitt is your man.
