Republican support for gun restrictions is slipping a year after Congress passed the most comprehensive firearms control legislation in decades with bipartisan support, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

That’s led to a gap between Democrats and the GOP on the issue of guns that has widened in the last year. Democrats have consistently outpaced Republicans and independents in their belief that gun laws in the U.S. should be strengthened, but GOP support has dropped even further behind, the poll found.

      They haven’t represented the will of the people for 35+ years. The only people the represent are big corp lobbyists.

      It’s all about the Benjamin’s, aka pay me a $4,000,000 fee and I will make a bill to propose your desires.
