Re: Are we de facto in more danger from Republicans than Democrats in regard to 2nd Amendment?

I'm becoming cynical as I get older, but I think both parties are using voting blocks (gun rights vs gun ban in this case) for fund raising and election purposes and could care less about really supporting the issue. It's about the campaign money and the votes. If the GOP actually voted like they campaign we would see a myriad of changes that are in conservative/libertarian favor regardless of the issue.

But what does that benefit the person running for office, especially on hot button issues where you have reliable blocks of voters turning out election after election if they actually solved something? How could they reliably count on the large block of issue voters still voting for them?

I seriously think we're being used and that we the people are more committed to principles than many of those representing us.
