Is It Time to Replace Romney? Ammoland Inc. Posted on Mitt Romney Official Photo Utah/Washington, DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) has drawn the ire of many Second Amendment supporters with votes to convict President Trump during both impeachment trials. But what about his track record on the Second Amendment? During the 2012 primary campaign, his track record as governor of Massachusetts came under fire, particularly from Gun Owners of America. The reality of Romney’s tenure as governor is somewhat more complicated than GOA’s release paints it. As governor, Romney did not have a very strong hand. How bad was his position in political fights? According to Ballotpedia, the Massachusetts General Court, consisting of a state House of Representatives of 160 members and a State Senate of 40 members, was controlled by Democrats, with the statehouse seeing a roughly 7-to-1 ratio of Democrats to Republicans after the 2002 and 2004 elections, while the state senate had a ratio of 5.66-to-1. Historically, the only time Republicans held even a quarter of the seats in a legislative chamber was when they had 10 seats in the State Senate after the 1994 elections. These are clearly veto-proof margins, and the margins have been that way for almost three decades.
