79. Wayne LaPierre's theory has two big holes in it
The "big gun states" are also low-electoral-vote states.

The first hole is, all the "big gun states" went for John McCain in 2008. You will notice that John McCain is still called Senator rather than President.

The second hole is, the "big gun states" combined have fewer electoral votes than California and New York. IIRC the last time California and New York went red was in 1988, when Ronald Reagan won 49 states.

The 2012 election is going to come down to the same two or three swing states it came down to in 2000 and 2004.
