    Bill Clinton: Democrats Must Respect Gun Rights, Culture

    Clinton, speaking to a group of Democrats at the Obama National Finance Committee Saturday, said gun control gets a special emotional response from people in rural states, and dismissing pro-gun arguments can backfire.

    “Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them,” Clinton said, Politico reported.

    “All these polls that you see saying the public is for us on all these issues — they are meaningless if they’re not voting issues,” Clinton said.

    WASHINGTON — The last time a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress banned civilian sales of military-style assault weapons, it took American voters just seven weeks to rebel.

    They handed Republicans control of the House and the Senate for the first time in 40 years.

    One of the casualties in the backlash was Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Beaumont, who sponsored the ban and then promptly lost his seat in Congress in 1994 after 42 years of service.

    And Bob Ehrlich was elected to the House of Representatives.
