Anyone who actually cares about gun control would attack Republicans who are the real threat, not a Democratic candidate who has always supported gun control.

They would be aware of his record and realize that lying about him being a "gun humper" who "is with the NRA" would make it obvious to anyone paying attention that this isn't about gun control at all.

Especially if they went on to attack him for being a "socialist" and not a real "Democrat" when called on their bullshit.

If they really cared about the issue.
