Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has said that when he campaigned, he promised to not vote in favor of any federal gun control legislation because he believes it is the role of state legislatures, which are closer to the people.

“I said, I was not going to vote for new federal gun legislation, that states are open to adopting legislation as they feel appropriate, but that the federal government should not tell Alaskans, that what they do relative to what New Yorkers are going to be told what they do,” Romney told the Salt Lake Tribune on Tuesday.
