I just submitted the following comment to the Romney Campaign via their website at http://www.mittromney.com/CommentForm
After I finished that I came to THR and was immediately interested to see this thread in general discussions:

It got locked pretty quick, so I hope I'm not out of line following up on it, but I'm assuming this is an appropriate forum to ask people to drop in on the Romney website and help him see the error of his position on assault weapons bans. Even if you're rooting for someone else, you may as well tell him that he is wrong on this issue. Romney is known for being willing to change his position on an issue. Let's see if we can get him to change on "assault weapons bans."
I think he is getting closer, and I was particularly surprised when I saw him make this statement to Tim Russert during Meet the Press:
Does that mean that he doesn't know about H.R. 1022? Or does it mean that he wouldn't support something like H.R.1022? What sort of weapons does he have in mind when he talks about unusual lethality? Semi-autos? Full-autos? 40 Watt Plasma Rifles? .50 BMG?
Too many questions for one person to address in the 500 characters that they allow on the comment form. So the more of us that hit him on it, and the more states that are represented, the better.

Remember that scene from The Karate Kid where Miagi tells Danny that if he tries to walk down the middle of the road he is going to get "squished like grape?" That is what always comes to my mind when I see Mitt talk about his position on guns. His position is unattractive to everybody that really cares about the issue. A president cannot defend the second amendment and simultaneously support an assault weapons ban. I hope you'll research this issue and take a stand on the side of liberty.

...if there is determined to be, from time to time, a weapon of such lethality that it poses a grave risk to our law enforcement personnel, that’s something I would consider signing. There’s nothing of that nature that’s being proposed today in Washington.
