Yes he is. If I accept the NRA and GOA membership as true believers, expand the membership of 4.3 million to 5 million, how do we convince the other 75,000,000 gunowners that it is an important issue, one that should impact their vote.
Heck, throw out half as Dems, how do we convince 37,500,000.
My suggestion is that it's not through demonization, the jackbooted thugs analogy, simply through facts, the "I grabbed 30,000 handguns from law abiding citizens" analogy.
FR seems to prefer the former, but I doubt it will convince many of the 75,000,000
