20. We should completely

abandon the entire gun control issue as a party. At least for the time being. In all of rural America we are now known as the party that wants to, "Take our guns away!" This is so counterproductive. There are so many more more pressing issues that middle America agree with us on to allow gun control to destroy potential support.

The gun control issue is killing us in rural America. I know, I live here.

Allow them to have as many guns as they want, with as big as magazine as they want. Just never mention gun control again. Rural folks can see where we Democrats are right on most every issue but they have been led to believe by decades of NRA propaganda that the lefties want to take away their guns. I understand that sounds simplistic but it is true. On the gun control issue alone the party support could increase tremendously.
