Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin -- and lost all three by bigger margins than anticipated because Gore's support for stronger gun laws proved popular in suburban areas. Bush lost because of the economy, black vote, and the DUI. Gun laws(in MI) may have hurt him in Farmington Hills and Okemos, but helped him in Shiawasse, NE MI, and the normally democrat UP(where he won). I remember one ad as well that was for Gore saying that Bush would have the Japanese flood the country with enviro friendly cars.
The GOP kept the state house as well, after passing CCW. That includes swing seats.
"while an A rating might work running for governor in Vermont, it won't work for trying to get the Democratic nomination," Johnson says.
No @^#@. Not to mention MONEY. Soros money. Andrew McKelvey money. Hollywood money. Manhatten Money. Ann Arbor Money. Chicago Money.
Democratic leaders have made a commitment to attach amendments, such as one that would close the gun-show loophole, which would be politically unpalatable to many senators.
Heads up!!!!
And I think that has a lot of Republicans really worried."
What worries me is complacency. When gun owners are SCARED, they win.

Ignorance, apathy and complacency. I don't know which is the worst, I don't even care, and I'm not willing to do anything about it. ;^(
The combination of these three is unbelievably common. So few people even vote that it is impossible to tell what the nation as a whole thinks. We MUST get out and vote!

What is this gun show loophole the anti's are always jabbering about? The last time I bought a gun at a show they ran a background check on me. What the anti's are really talking about is banning private gun sales.

I hope the democRATs stay scared of this issue. Maybe our RINOs will learn something too.
OK, I'm dreaming.

What a well-balanced article! Quotes and citations exclusively from gun-grabber groups and democrat operatives.
Yessiree, no bias in the media. None at all.
