Why are they so stupid they can't understand this? What hold does the NRA have on them?

As far as I'm concerned, the Republicans are pathetic representatives of the people. They are afraid of:

The NRA
Grover Norquist
Koch Bros
The Republican Party, itself

Their families must be awfully proud of how they can't think for themselves, have no backbone and constantly wimp out for the NRA and Norquist, particularly. Why don't the polls have any affect on them? How can they argue against 90% in favor of gun legislation?

What a sick bunch of useless human beings. They should be fired.
