Here is some advice for the Democratic Party.

Pretty simple, steal the issue of Guns right out of the Republican's hands. Getting yourself on video and picture going hunting like all Gun owners really want is to be able to hunt is stupid, pathetic, and it works against the Democrats. There is a massive clump of single-issue voters and incredibly well organized and powerful lobbies that are ripe for the picking but nobody is really picking them. They, I should say we as I am one of them want full acknowledgement of the right to bear arms and the important purpose of such a right on an individual and national level. The Republicans don't really do this and it is pretty easy to paint the Democrats as anti-gun (They invite it really) and so they become the party for Gun owners even though they aren't as pro-gun as most would like to think.

The Democrats have an opportunity to completely take this taken-for-granted advantage that the Republicans have. Get some balls and cut out the greatest weakness that the Democratic Party has. Bring those Theocratic Repubs to their knees by saying "We believe in the right to bear arms so as to allow the people the ability to defend themselves and to insure that this country is always free and sovereign."

Good god, the shock that would be felt around the country would be amazing. Gun-grabbers would whine a bit but they certainly aren't going to vote for the Republicans, and after passing out from the shock, the almighty behemoth that is the Gun-rights enthusiasts and their powerful lobbies would be slavering at the jowls to propel the Democrats to power. With a little reluctance, sure, because most of us don't like the Socialistic trends the Democrats have, but such an incredible opportunity would not be passed up.

How does 55, 60, 65 percent of the National vote sound? You like that? You want that? Then get a Shotgun for Burglars, a Handgun for Muggers, and a Service Rifle along with anti-tank and air weapons for Tyranny.
