Why can't we win the NRA vote? (A new prespective on gun control) [View All]

Lets say a Democrat walks out and says they want to protect Americans' right to own a gun. He says he will require background checks (as almost all politicians will agree with this). But what most politicians don't do is talk about the results of this beyond criminals not getting guns. Criminals not getting guns = people not getting killed = gun control activists not running ad campaigns and sueing gun manufacturers because criminals are killing people. Now lets say the government starts encouraging locking devices being included with guns. Guns locked = kids not shooting themselves = gun control activists not running ad campaigns and sueing gun manufacturers because kids are shooting themselves. Now I'll admit this is MUCH easier said than done and it's not a perfect solution but doesn't it make sense somwhat. A few simple regulations meant entirely so that criminals cant get guns means less gun control activists and if there's one thing the NRA can't stand is gun control activists. Granted I don't think any solution proposed by a Democrat could get the NRA to change it's position on which party to support but I think it could make either a big decline in it's membership or at least get a nice chunk of it to vote democratic.
