At the end of a long answer to the question, What has your administration done or planned to do to limit the availability of assault weapons? Obama said this:
My belief is that, (A), we have to enforce the laws weve already got, make sure that were keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill. Weve done a much better job in terms of background checks, but weve got more to do when it comes to enforcement.
But I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters dont belong on our streets. And so what Im trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced. But part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence. Because frankly, in my home town of Chicago, theres an awful lot of violence and theyre not using AK-47s. Theyre using cheap hand guns.

But Romney is the only one of the two that has actually signed such a a ban.
Shouldn't you be more worried about his history, rather than Obama's words?
I think Romney has said
I'll paraphrase
"what worked in my state as governor will not work in other states."
In that case, how do the incredible achievements that he's had in his state (budgets, bipartisan co-operation, education etc) give him more credibility that anyone else to run the country?
How can he argue that his experience at state level qualifies him to save the country?
