Isn't the gun lobby one of the most competent and powerful interest groups in the nation?

I think you can trust that the normal interplay of politics will not make this an issue during the term of any President in the foreseeable future, so I would not make it affect my Presidential vote.

I am against gun control but I will admit it's far from my number one issue.

That didn't stop AWB1 from getting signed into law in 1994 and AWB2, which is even worse, has already been proposed. The Rats will send it to the White House for the president's signature, guaranteed. We can't afford to have someone in the White House who will sign it and I have no doubt that he would. I consider gun control to be the most important factor in deciding on who to vote for, because without the Second Amendment, the others can be taken away from us at the whim of any politician.

Considering the ongoing loss of rights over the past generations, I'd say the answer is a definitive NO.
