This is obviously and indisputably false. The gun lobby has made it absolutely clear that they'll accept almost no restrictions on guns. Biden's gun violence bill was pretty weak tea and the NRA still opposed it. Also, no chance that two conservatives on SCOTUS would accept any of that.
I don't think this is going to blow your mind, but the sort of person who lobbies for the NRA is exactly the sort of "lunatic gun nut" who I suggested would never be satisfied
Right, but that also describes ~99% of congressional Republicans. This story from Maine has it all: mainemorningstar.com/2025/04/15/g...
Yes, we are extremely aware that 99% of modern Congressional Rebpublicans are batshit crazy extremists. That's what their party has been filtering for for twenty years.
Yes, and I've known many gun owners in my life who hold their nose and vote Republican because they won't write any more dumb gun laws, even if they otherwise dislike them. I think this is a selfish and short-sighted thing to do, but it's very real.
Yep. It's incredibly frustrating, but I can't entirely blame them when a lot of the Dem establishment modeled their views on Feinstein, and will push blatantly unconstitutional gun bills just to stick it to their ideological opponents, knowing it will be ineffective and stricken by the courts.
