The L.A. Times reported, "It’s unclear what Romney meant when he said the gunman should not have had “any kind of weapons,” since Romney has repeatedly said he does not believe existing gun laws should be changed.

The 100-round drum that Holmes allegedly possessed would have been illegal under a federal assault weapons ban that expired nearly a decade ago, and it is illegal in Massachusetts under a state law that Romney signed while governor."

Let's not get into the weasel-wording of meaningless quotes and misquotes on what Mr. Romney said. His heart is in the right place and he is a good man. Everyone steps on his tongue now and then. In a Presidential candidate, it is exaggerated most times.
