He has a long history of supporting gun control legislation up to and including him calling for a new "assault weapons" ban tonight. The expansion of carry rights that everyone brings up was attached as a rider to an unrelated bill by a republican that the president didn't want, but also didn't want to kill the entire bill. Not that Romney has a better track record. On gun rights, they both suck.
