If Rachel Maddow were a Pro-Gun NRA member, yet still as Liberal, would she appeal better to Republicans?

Depends. Are we talking about a Republican like the first poster, who could be dying in a gutter but if a liberal stopped to help them they would refuse because lord knows if they touch it they might catch the lib-germ? Or are we talking about the typical Republican that just happens to fall in line mostly with Republicans viewpoints but can still have an even discussion and be understanding of different viewpoints?
