A Conservative Review report by Rob Eno, a Massachusetts Republican activist, on Thursday asserted that Weld has taken “statist positions that should make libertarians run” from him. Eno listed the former governor’s support of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, Weld’s backing of affirmative actions policies and his stance on gun control.
“Weld, a first-term Republican who opposed a ban on assault weapons when he ran for governor in 1990, said he had changed his mind because of the growing number of teenage murders and weapons on city streets,” a United Press International report said in September 1993. That position stands in stark contrast to the Libertarian Party’s official platform in 2014. |

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 |
