The Romney campaign says the former Massachusetts governor now owns two shotguns purchased in the past five years, since he last ran for president.

Earlier today, per NBC's Garrett Haake, a questioner asked what the candidate would do to protect gun rights (and allow people to protect their families from a tyrannical government).

"I believe in the second amendment," Mitt Romney said. "I’ll protect the second amendment. I have guns myself. Not going to tell you where they are. Don’t have them on myself either, alright."

This raised the question of whether Romney purchased a weapon in the past five years or if he was retelling a tale from his last run for president.

Is the right-wing gun nut club about to flip-out on Mitt Romney?

1. R-Money would never shoot a gun.

He'd have his paid minions do it. He's too inept to know how to load one.

I, however, am not.

2. I wouldn't put it past him to have bought guns just so he can say

"I am a gun owner" this time around.
