    I don’t think it’s even because of that. About 70% of Americans support measures like psychiatric evaluations or waiting periods, maybe even more. NRA is also not that powerful as a lobbyist, most politicians would be fine without it’s support. The only issue is that it would require some actual work and they wouldn’t gain anything from it and American politicians simply aren’t used to doing anything useful anymore.

      Yeah but if that was the case then good laws would have been introduced in the past.
