We'll have to agree to disagree about MI being full of rednecks. I think the Left should give up its preoccupation with guns. The Left has lost on guns to the same extent that the Right has lost on social issues. Guns are a separate issue form crime, and crime would basically go away if economic opportunity were available in the inner cities. People don't turn to violence for the most part when they see a future. I think, strategically speaking, that guns are hurting Democrats more than they're helping them. I suppose this is a non-starter for a lot of people in the party, however.
