91. He isn't talking about "single issue voters"
He isn't talking about losing a bunch of single issue voters, he is talking about alienating entire subcultures in the United States.

These are voters that should be ours; hard-working, blue-collar, union members. But when you attack guns you attack their way of life and their culture. They look at what happened in Virginia and see a sick individual. You look at what happened and see guns.

When you go after their guns, you tell them "I think you are the cause of things like Virginia". You insult them, and you drive them away.

THIS IS SUCH A NO BRAINER

Our party has dropped gun control as issue. It is an **election loser**; it is the wrong thing to do; it needs to stay dropped.

For the love of the Democratic party, I hope the Supreme Court comes out soon and finds the Second Amendment and affirms the Parker ruling. Once it is made perfectly clear that gun control is unconstitutional, hopefully we can put this mistake behind us and focus on winning elections and helping the country.
