Yup. They're concerned that the mere conversation never takes place. With 3.2 million spent on lobbying, close to a million in contributions and more than 27 million on outside spending (in one election cycle alone), the NRA certainly has efficiently and effectively persuaded their congressional employees to attempt the prevention of the discussion from happening.
