You forget that the NRA owns Congress. At least that's what I keeping hearing from the Chicken Littles on the gun issue.
The fact is that when gun control is at issue, a lot of people in red states become one-issue voters, based on a candidate's stand on gun control. On the other hand, those in favor of gun control are less likely to be one-issue voters and less likely to vote against a candidate solely because of a pro-gun stance.
