6. Yup. I've been saying that since *2004*, first on the John Kerry Forum/CGCS and then here.

Dems and the Gun Issue - Now What? (2004)

That's a crosspost to DU from January 2005 that I wrote in late 2004, after Kerry got clobbered in several key swing states on the gun issue, just like Gore in '00, and a lot of JK supporters couldn't understand why his talking up hunting and "huntin' guns" didn't defuse it. Some minor details of the landscape have shifted in the last 12 years, but the key points still stand, I think.

I was going to crosspost it here again, but I think I'll start a new thread to avoid derailing this one too badly.
