It was an issue that got otherwise solidly Democratic gun owners voting for Bush instead of Gore.
This has been rubbed raw over the last decades. And it was still enough to cause people to vote against their own interests.
As a party policy gun control should be left in the dust of history.
Harping on that single issue cost us the countryside. We clearly couldn't afford it.
Indeed, I suggest our rural candidates be required to display some proficiency with firearms. That kills the anti gun accusation when our man hits the bulls eye more often than his accuser.
Even though it hasn't been pressed for years, the knee jerk of the rural gun owner is democrats = anti gun. That has to change if we're to take the country side.
