Earlier in the day, a few bloggers were pointing to a statement by Mitt Romney that he had flown F-16s and shot Uzis and an AK 47s, “and they’re fun. But I don’t think anyone is suggesting that these kinds of weapons are going to be in the public domain.” The reaction was one of skepticism.

Phil Klein has response from the Romney camp. Yup, the Mitt-ster’s done ‘em. He took the stick on an F-16 flight out of Hill Air Force Base during the run-up to the winter Olympics in Utah in 2002. And the firing of AK-47s and Uzis came during a visit to Iraq last year, under the supervision of military personnel, during a weapons demonstration.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m finding this kind of back-and-forth gotcha games triggering premature exhaustion with this campaign.
