Reply #49: Um, I'm for Clark, but I think gun control is a huge wedge/losing issue [View All]

For the Dems.
It looses millions of votes for them; it's likely
too late for gun control in the states anyway (as Steve
Earle so often says); and watch Bowling for Columbine.
Number of guns isn't the only reason why there are so
many gun murders in the US. Canada has a ton of guns,
and hardly any gun murders.

This is a poison issue for the Dems. A wedge. No
good can come of it. At least not *now*.

If they do take it on it needs to be years down the road,
when we don't have fascists in the white house.

IMO Dean is being smart on this issue and I think the other Dems
should follow his lead.
