2nd Amendment: Rights to Bear Arms?

Overall the debate last night was pretty boring. Mike had some good opportunities to explain the FairTax and show the American people that he was the true conservative who instead of borrowing money from China to avoid an economic downturn, believes in investing in America's infrastructure. America are you listening??!!

But Mike did get a dig in at Mitt who supports the Assault weapons gun ban. Mitt emphasized that he compromised with pro-gun and gun-ban groups for the ban. My question to Mitt is, is it a good thing to compromise on the very basic rights that are the foundation of American liberties and freedom? Mitt needs to be held accountable for this.

Mitt Romney also needs to be held accountable for the "whisper" in the MSNBC debate. When asked if he (Mitt) would do what Reagan did with Social Security, a man's voice whispers, "He raised taxes", and Mitt jumps out and says, "I won't raise taxes." Was Mitt cheating with an ear piece? Was an aide giving him the answers? This goes to his very character. It's a little scary that a candidate running for President of the U.S. didn't feel confident enough to answer the questions without the help of an aide.
