Low information voting?
I wish it was that simple, then we could just teach people into thinking / voting like us. Reading any sites by groups opposed to our views you might find similar thoughts about what's wrong with us. While low information I'm sure makes up a large group of voters, I suspect you will find the group split between both sides. How evenly it splits, I certainly don't know.

I think it would do us a disservice to under estimate those who might oppose us politicly by assuming they are unintelligent (I know you didn't say that) or uneducated. It seems like with gun issues, like many other political issues where there are deep and frequently close to 50/50 divides in the country, there are smart, educated people (as well as everthing else) on both sides. We just don't see eye to eye on how to implement policy given a set of facts / history / economics etc. It seems on many big issues there are some very fundamental divides on how society should function and how individuals should relate to each other and with government. This makes it much harder to deal with. It gets scary when trends move in the direction of our side (and pick your issue, even beyond gun rights) falls to the minority side of the population.
