He is also posting in the Politics & Activism forum on ar15.com:
His username, Kolob, has its origin in Mormon mythology. Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Draw whatever conclusions you will from this.
Personally, I think it's naive to support a candidate because they share your religion and you perceive that their 'values' are somehow aligned with yours when that candidate wants to take away our right to own certain firearms and take away your ability to sell them to the public. I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but I do not feel that it is right for someone in the firearms industry to support a candidate that is against 'assault weapons', especially when they sell them!

Happy New Year!!! Support Mitt Romney
Happy New Year 2008!!! Support Mitt Romney!!!
As a manufacturer of firearms, we have received countless calls from our customers who are buying because they’re afraid a Democrat will be in the White House a year from now. Based on the 1994 “Assault Weapon Ban”, I completely understand their fears.
In speaking with you and listening to the media, it has been a given that a Democrat (and most probably Hillary Clinton) will win this coming November. I want you all to know that this is not a foregone conclusion.
There are lots of great Republican candidates running for President. I can say great things about each and every one of them. Ron Paul and Fred Thompson are definitely conservative. Mike Huckabee is religious and down to earth. However, there is one candidate who is everything one could want in a candidate and more.
Mitt Romney is probably the most qualified candidate to run for President in decades. He is intelligent, a great organizer, and has the ability to accomplish the impossible. He has proved this time and time again in business, government, and with the 2002 Olympics.
America faces challenges on every side: the War Against Freedom (Some call it the “War against Terror”. This is inaccurate), energy, immigration, and firearm ownership to name a few. We need a leader who can unite Americans and get the right result.
Not only is Mitt the best Republican candidate, he is the most electable in November. There are many moderate Democrats who will vote for him because he’s simply the best leader for America.
Mitt Romney is a strong supported of the Second Amendment. I’ve worked on his campaign and find him to be exactly what he purports to be – a true American with the same values you and I hold dear. He’s running because he knows he can make a big difference. I’ve ask him to put his views on the Second Amendment in writing. They’re attached here. I haven’t seen a stronger written statement from any of the candidates.
Let’s stop worrying and start supporting the man who can and will make a difference. The sooner we all support Romney, the easier it will be to get him into the White House and the more secure our nation will be. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. (Oh, and keep buying our products so I can continue to help campaign.)
Sincerely,
Alex J. Robinson

Romney on 'assault weapons' :
“Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts,” Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen’s groups and gun safety advocates. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
On Gun Control
Mitt Romney supports the strict enforcement of gun laws. He is a supporter of the federal assault weapons ban. Mitt also believes in the rights of those who hunt to responsibly own and use firearms.

This really isn't my fight, I was only making a suggestion because we like XCRM here and I would prefer no harm come her way for her own opinions about where she works. (Which if I'm not mistaken she likes it there.) This is a popular place, and we have no idea where our influences end or how far they reach.
