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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
