Being from Pennsylvania, I can tell you why Gore won the state despite the abundance of hunters here. Gore was campaigning here recently and promised that he would not take away guns from hunters and sportsmen. Notice he said nothing about self defense. So the hunters and sportsmen feel confident (many of them are probably union members too)because of the "they're not after my guns, why should I care" mentality. ALL gun owners, regardless of whether they own hunting rifles, shotguns, "assault" weapons, or handguns have to stick together. The antis cannot outright ban our firearms, they will just chip away at them and count on apathy to do the rest.
