An interesting note, the Democratic platform recognizes the 2nd Amendment as an individual right. They still want lots of restrictions, but it is interesting that the gun grabbers are losing their clout in the Democratic Party.
That's good news, I guess, in a small measure.
Dean actually wasn't too bad on RKBA if I am not mistaken (certainly better than Kerry.) Vermont is a pretty good state in that regard, IIRC (it has pretty good CCW laws and a lot of hunters.)
