Reacting to a shooting that left three dead and several wounded near Texas A & M University -- the latest in a string of multiple shootings across the nation this summer-- Mitt Romney on Monday ruled out new gun laws and said the nation must collectively figure out how to prevent such tragedies.

But when asked whether prevention measures should include looking at the nation’s gun laws, Romney said no. When he was governor of Massachusetts, Romney supported some gun control measures and signed the first permanent state ban on assault weapons. He now opposes a federal ban on assault weapons.
