NRA: Libertarian VP Candidate 'Anti-Gun'
• Prison Planet by Kit DanielsThe Libertarian Party is running an anti-gun candidate for vice president, the NRA warned.
"As governor of Massachusetts, William Weld supported various gun control schemes, including a ban on semi-automatic firearms," the NRA confirmed. "Unfortunately, and despite being the Libertarian candidate for vice president, Weld continues his anti-gun ways."
Weld recently confirmed his anti-gun stance – and his ignorance on guns in general.
"The five-shot rifle, that's a standard military rifle; the problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon," Weld said during a Revolt.tv interview in August. "And those are independent criminal offenses."
"That's when they become essentially a weapon of mass destruction."
He also attacked AR-15 owners, the NRA revealed.
