I think the GunIssue© is a microcosm of what the Democratic Party must go through as a whole so that it can appeal to far more people than its present coastal base. In other words, the change to a more liberal progressive outlook will be fought tooth & nail by Beltway Democrats. To paraphrase Freud in his reference to syphilis: Those who know how to reconcile the Democratic Party's gun issue knows how to change the Party.

(He who knows syphilis knows medicine.)
