" It has been mostly dormant since autumn 2000, when Al Gore decided he was less interested in it than in carrying states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania: "Gore Tables Gun Issue as He Courts Midwest" [New York Times, Sept. 20, 2000]."
If that is the case then Al Gore, the NYT, and/or George Will are morons.
Michigan is about as pro-gun as a state could possibly get.

I think that was his and the Times point. Gore dropped the issue because he feared losing Michigan and Pennsylvania because of it.

He wasn't less interested in gun control, he just wasn't interested in harping on it while campaigning there. He's still all for it, as far as I can tell.
