The big difference, which most of you don't bother to check the facts on, is that Romney "banned" REAL FULL AUTOMATIC weapons.
The federal laws allow them but, have very strict laws regarding getting them and the additional annual costs and documentation.
Obama wants to go back to the Clinton so-called assault weapon ban with greater restrictions.
If you don't know the difference I suggest you do some research before making bigger fools of yourselves.
No, INCORRECT. Romney made Clinton ban permanent in his state. He banned semi-automatic weapons which he thinks are 'assult' weapons and "made for killing". His gun laws are by far the most strict state laws in the nation. A typical AR-15 is against the law according to Romney's laws.
Also,
- Any handgun not on the state’s Firearms Roster is also banned, as are magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds. Certain cities and counties, such as Boston, have additional gun bans.
- Under Massachusetts law, a private party (anyone other than licensed dealers) is prohibited from selling more than four guns in a year, unless the sales are made to a licensed dealer.
- Persons with a Class A license who are carrying a handgun in their car cannot leave their car unattended.
- Possession of a gun without the appropriate license is subject to mandatory sentencing of one year in jail or two and a half years in prison.

I know it's hard for the right wingers, but sometimes it's good to learn facts, and not to keep pushing radical right wing propaganda from fox.
I will dumb this down as much as I can.
You link is a right wing opinion piece.
Obama never stated he wanted to bring back the assault weapons ban. The only thing he stated was that he wants to enforce those on the book.
Willard has passed an assault weapons ban as well and many more anti-gun rights legislation and says he supports tough gun laws.
Though I guess in the right wing world, someone that is anti-gun = pro gun rights and someone that is pro-gun rights = anti guns.
"Obama never stated he wanted to bring back the assault weapons ban. The only thing he stated was that he wants to enforce those on the book."
How does crow taste?
I noticed you conveniently didn't post the ENTIRE quote but, only the piece you thought would support your opinion.
Read it and weep.
“My belief is that, (A), we have to enforce the laws we’ve already got, make sure that we’re keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill. We’ve done a much better job in terms of background checks, but we’ve got more to do when it comes to enforcement.
“But I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don’t belong on our streets. And so what I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced. "

A Romney campaign flyer You're deceiving yourself.
Quote:
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. 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.” - Mitt Romney
LMAO!! I love that a pat on the head and a "Willard was very anti-2nd amendment as governor, but he won't be this time!" is all the right wing sheep need to believe anything they they are told, like how Willard is pro-2nd amendment and Obama isn't.
The right wingers are the most obedient and brainwashed sheep on the planet.
Speaking as a licensed firearm manufacturer, both candidates stink.
Romney signed the AWB legislation in MA.
0bama/Holder implemented Fast & Furious to amp up the number of guns crossing our southern border.
0bama implemented multiple purchase reports for rifles in the border states without Congressional approval.
0bama's commerce department is holding up high-grade steel imports from Germany and Japan on the docks while cheaper grades from China fly right in. This grade of steel is required for precision rifle barrels, and we don't make it in the US any more (that's another rant).
There is no sense wasting any more time with someone who makes claims and then doesn't READ other information about the issue from credible sources.
