When Democrats won on guns

9. That's not entirely true

Many of these gun freaks are hicks who otherwise wouldn't bother to haul their drunk asses out of their lawn chairs to go vote. To them, the Republicans are "just as bad as the Democrats." BUT, they will go out and vote IN FORCE when anti-gun legislation is being considered and in their simple minds are convinced that some federal gov't agent is going to break down their trailer's door in the middle of the night and take their guns.

Countless Democrats who represented rural districts lost their seats in '94 because they voted for the assault weapons ban. In 2000, the gun issue cost us precious votes in Florida, Tennessee, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Just look at the disasterous consequences our country experienced because we lost those elections.

He wasn't lying.
