their supporters will just make that go away by...er..exercising their "right to bear arms".
Count on it.

They continue to play to the right-wing base and achieve their coveted primary victories. THEN swing vote moderates, wary of their extreme antics, will help defeat them in the general election, flipping Congress in the process.
