"...there are a significant minority of pro-gun dems who must be considered on substantive gun control measures (like our Boucher).In the Senate,it matters less who is "in charge."But eliminate the pro gun dems in the Senate now and you wouldhave the filibuster proof block of anti-gunners that many on this site fear."
I believe you have a good point here. Not allDemocrats are interested in gun control. The sticker, however, for many on this site and, I confess, for myself to a somewhat lesser degree, is this quote buried in the first page:

For a long time party politics has ruled the day. Do we need to get past that? Yes. Will the Democrats who profess to be pro-gun side with their party in a legislative battle...? I don't have an answer at this time...but history is not reassuring on this point.At the end of the day, I dont trust any Dem to not side with the party over support of the second amendment.
