Why is it that some of the politicians are complaining about NOT being able to pass more "restrictive" or "common sense" or "reasonable" laws, and blame the NRA; when the constitution, which they are SWORN to uphold, specifies in the 2nd amendment that the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall NOT be infringed.

They also claim the NRA is NOT a responsible organization, when all it wants is for the 2nd amendment to constitution to be UPHELD, AS WRITTEN.
They also ignore the fact that there are already MANY laws regarding the improper use or possession of firearms that are NOT enforced as they should be;
AND the PUBLISHED FACTS FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, including the FBI, that show a LOWER crime rate where the people HAVE firearms.
Could it be simple stupidity, or are they afraid that an armed populace MIGHT throw them out of office when they finally get so far out of line that the people can't stand any more, like the FIRST revolution against England?

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant but that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan.
If you notice the elected officials that have a problem with it represent extremely liberal sections of the country, such as California, or they come from area's with already restrictive gun laws, such as Illinois.
They cannot fathom that other's are representing their districts citizens and what they want, since it goes against them.
Don't try and convince gun control people with facts, because they just don't listen. As to why they hate guns so much, I have no idea.
