OMG!!! - Mitt Romney Website FAIL: Alarming Typo On Gun Rights Stance!!!


http://www.mittromney.com/issues/gun-rights

Mitt Romney may be pro-guns, but an egregious error on his campaign website indicates that he's anti-copyediting.

First noticed by Facebook user Han Nguyen and shared over 400 times https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=594184757580&set=p.594184757580&type=1&theater since Tuesday, Romney's stance on his "Gun Rights" page includes a rather startling statement (with our emphasis added):

As president, Mitt will work to expand and enhance access and opportunities for Americans to hunt, shoot, and protect their families, homes and property, and he will fight the battle on all fronts to proect and promote the Second Amendment.

As the poster below pointed out, the error is in the usage, which makes it sound like Romney is encouraging people to hunt and shoot their OWN families. That's the unintentional part.

Remember that book about punctuation. It is obvious that the author of that gem didn't pass freshman comp.
