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.

    Also the GOP is a contrarian party. They oppose access to healthcare… just cause. Even when democrats presented a republican governor’s plan for the issue l, the GOP started up with the whole “socialism” and “death panels”.

    They have no point or purpose, they just oppose progress for the highest bidder.
