CROWLEY: Governor Romney, how would you deal with assault weapons?
ROMNEY: Gosh, marriage, of course.
Was anyone else taken aback by his bizarre, meandering answer to that question?

(881 posts)He's trying desperatly to appeal to the gun rights voters and not be portrayed as a gun grabber. It's obviously a subject he knows little about and was half remembering talking points his handlers had fed to him.

Of course forgetting that the Aurora, CO shooter, the Columbine shooters, the AZ Giffords shooter and most other mass killers like them all came from two-parent homes. Typically with professional working parents.
And they were all educated, not drop-out slackers who went from sitting at home playing video games to becoming mass shooters.
So his points don't hold up.
