If politicians want to win

If politicians want to win over gun owners, all they have to do is to stop acting like Nazis and Communists. Obey the Constitution.

Exactly Right

The second Amendment does not exist to protect hunting rights. It exists so the people, if the government becomes too oppressive, have the tools it needs to revolt and overthrow.
