The NRA is gonna say “the Democraps are taking yer guns” regardless of what gun policy we propose. We might as well fight for what we believe in.
Voters respond better to candidate they disagree with that’s leveling with them, than one that’s pretending to agree with them to win their votes. Look at Kander in MO and Beto in TX. They did as well as they did because they ran campaigns based on what they believed in.
I was surprised to see McCaskill do worse then Kander but since she voted against Kavanaugh, the GOP took advantage of that.
