The National Rifle Association was even harsher.
“This is an election-year conversion for Wendy Davis. Voting records speak volumes. As a state legislator, Wendy earned an F-rating from the NRA by voting against the Second Amendment repeatedly," said NRA spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen. "Her about-face lacks credibility. Texans know that.”
The Abbott campaign issued a written statement questioning the move, saying it would not help her "be a straight shooter when it comes to the facts of her anti-gun record."
As a member of the Fort Worth City Council, Davis fought a lonely battle to require background checks at city-held gun shows, and she told the Tribune in the summer that she would “happily” sign a bill making that mandatory statewide if elected governor. She also opposed efforts opening up college campuses to people with concealed handguns licenses.
Anyone believing Wendy Davis would sign ANY pro gun legislation as Governor might be interested in one of the few remaining beachfront lots I have for sale in the Florida Everglades.
Don't listen to a word these politicians say prior to the election. Instead, look at what they have voted for and supported before. That record is set in stone and they can't dig it up and change it.

past performance does not guarantee future returns
Of course not. Especially when you have a politician with as little regard for the truth as Obama. Let's look at what that man has promised in the past.
Obama quotes:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration.
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I’ll resign if I don’t cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
“I am against SuperPACs”
"I'll unite the people of this great country."

I wish somebody in front of the cameras would just call him on it.
