Gun control is the third rail for a lot of elected Democrats.
The Clinton/Gore gun control measures cost Gore both West Virginia and Tennessee. Winning either of them would have made him President.
Lets not forget the successful recalls in Colorado. Or that mass act of civil disobedience in CT, where an estimated 100,000 gun owners refused to comply with registration requirements. Putting their uber-Lib governor (and probable Presidential candidate running on Hillary’s Left) into the position of acknowledging that gun control is a dead issue.
Bloomberg dumping a ton of money into forcing Democrats onto the record in a rock/hard place scenario is just too frikkin’ delicious to contemplate.
And probably Florida, for that matter.
