Because it has quacks like Ted Nugent on the board. But Dems often do themselves no favors on the gun control front. There are many states that simply will not elect an anti-gun Dem (Montana, West Virginia, etc.), and despite the fact that I'll vote for Hillary if she's the nominee, I worry that her gun control positions will hurt down-ticket Dems. I get the fact that California and New York aren't going to turn red because of Hills' positions, but there are a lot of states between those two that might if the Dems aren't careful - the Second Amendment is taken seriously in states like Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado.
