Hmm... seems to me that Brian Mackie was running away from having to answer any difficult questions. Goes to show how the 'facts' that the gun-banners present can't stand the light of scrutiny.
Washtenaw county is the home of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, two of the most liberal cities in the state. Ypsi went 73% for Gore, and Ann Arbor(known as the Berkely of the Midwest) 70%. It is represented by Lynn Rivers in Congress, who is to the left of anyone who doesn't have the last name Conyors. That's not mentioning Alma Wheeler Smith, Chris Kolb, and Mackie himself.
