19. I don't think it's as much the easy money as they bent over so much to the "gun culture"

yahoos, they are afraid if they change their mind the single issue voters would vote them out. So many of us have a whole list of things that make us like a candidate and if they not 100% from our list, we vote for them anyway. But the single issue gun or single issue anti-abortion, that's where your rabid primary voters come in. And the militias, well, you probably can't get more gun culture than that and if you sign onto a gun safety bill, you're gone. And so many politicians, especially RW jobs, they would sell their soul to keep their jobs. They money might not be great but the power, it's like a drug.
