but it's interesting to see that even here on DU Kerry could pick up a few votes literally at no cost. Well, other than his principles I guess.

"Personally, I think the Democrats need to start playing down gun control - there are a lot of single-issue voters out there who's single issue is guns, despite the fact that they actually agree with Democratic party positions most of the time."

I think it's going to take a lot more than just down playing gun control to win over those single-issue voters. At best, down-playing gun control will keep them at home, it isn't going to win you many votes.
