Another GOP Presidential wanna-be flip-flops on guns

12:10am Tuesday, May 29, 2007

By Chad D. Baus Last month, I asked the nation's gun owners if they were willing to be Mitt Romney's cheap date - if they were willing to forget his years of anti-gun philandering and buy into his election-season pandering. "Is it just me," I asked, "or is it incredibly insulting every time a politician expects America's hunters, sportsmen, concealed handgun license-holders and gun owners to fall...
