At another point in the interview Weld characterized commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and standard-capacity magazines as potential weapons of mass destruction. Displaying a level of ignorance usually attendant to politicians carrying the endorsement of the Brady Campaign, Weld told the interviewer:
The five-shot rifle, that’s a standard military rifle. The problem is if you attach a clip to it so it can fire more shells and if you remove the pin so that it becomes an automatic weapon. And those are independent criminal offenses. That’s when they become essentially a weapon of mass destruction.

| No I don't think he really is a Libertarian and he is the primary reason I will not consider voting Libertarian during this election cycle and I urge others not to vote Libertarian as well. We do NOT need anti-gunners like William Weld anywhere near the White House. I do not think Donald Trump is the perfect presidential candidate, but he is far better than the alternative. Do not be mislead by the never-trumpers, this country does not need Hillary Clinton in the White House for any longer than a visit to congratulate President Trump after his inauguration. |

No, he isn't. He's a "moderate Republican", kind of like John McCain or Gary Johnson.
Every time it looks like Hillary and Donald are going to succeed in throwing the election to the 'minor parties', Johnson and Weld step up to the plate and throw it back. |

| If the libertarians can't really stand by the libertarian party plank, then can they be trusted? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
