Did you happen to see my post, #25?

And to add some anecdotal evidence, I work in a factory in the Twin Cities, MN, a very progressive state. Our factory is part of the Teamster's Union, so most of my coworkers are vote Democratic (though I'm probably one of the most liberal ones working there). I have heard so many of my coworkers bitching about feared gun bans and the need to stock up on ammo and magazines before they're outlawed, it's just crazy. And these are men and women I know voted for Obama in the last election.

Like I said, it's only anecdotal, but it makes me worry about other states here in the Midwest that have a strong tradition of unions AND a strong tradition of hunting and gun ownership. Even if new gun laws just discourage moderate Democrats from going to the polls in frustration, that could still be enough to swing a close election.
