I'm not going to dispute that the seats may prove impossible for the GOP to hold. That may well prove to be the case.
My assertion is that the recall election was a victory for gun rights because it demonstrated that, when a close election is taking place, the RKBA can carry the day
when it's the #1 issue on the ballot.
That said, it's disputable to what degree the results were determined by partisan die-hards who were less concerned with the RKBA than with which party would win.
Of course,
any outbreak of foot-in-mouth by Bloomers goes in the "Win" column.
