There are a lot of people around here who might be amiable towards a populist message but will not look beyond the message of the most aggressive Democratic party affiliated voices speaking in favor of restrictions. Many of my neighbors are very anti-wall street, anti-war, and generally feel exploited. But they will not listen at all to any politician with a D after their name as long as the Democrats have a reputation as 'gun grabbers'.

We have a severe image problem IMO.
