NRA restores Romrell endorsement after magazine comments

[SecularMotion]

The National Rifle Association’s political arm restored its endorsement of Rep. Paul Romrell, R-St. Anthony. A spokeswoman said the group stands firmly behind the legislator.

Amy Hunter, regional spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund said the group had “suspended” Romrell’s endorsement for two days while it reviewed comments the two-term lawmaker made about high-capacity magazines.

In a late-April interview with IdahoReporter.com, Romrell clarified his stance. He said the high-capacity magazines give him “heartburn” and wondered why gun-owners might want to own them.

“Sportsmen don’t need 200-round magazines,” Romrell told IdahoReporter.com. “Someone who wants to kill a lot of people could ask for a large magazine.”
