Reply #24: Tell them no matter his gun rating the NRA will savage him [View All]

in '04!

NRA will be passing out the Bush/Cheney stickers in '04, not Dean with his A NRA rating.

If this one issue prevents them from voting for Dean or any other Dem then we're going to lose.

With a Repug congress a Dem president is going to have a helluva time just keeping the current laws intact.

Dems have to let go of this issue for awhile. And Dems also need to get better educated on firearms. Sometimes we pass dumb gun laws - I think the assault weapon ban was a "feel good" law that made no sense. Same thing with the idea of keeping test bullets/casings(one can easily alter that). I'd rather see that every gun sale has a background check, that straw purchase are prosecuted, that firearms can be better traced to a criminal, etc.

And have they been listening to Dean? He said we're not going to agree with everything he says!
