stan909, the expression "Follow the Money" is often used with politicians. In this case it means that there are politicians that will say and do most anything for the monies from the gun industry, all of the gun industry.
Most US citizens are for gun ownership, fact - but with restrictions.

Your last comment is a common lefty theme, I think to influence those people who don’t keep up with the issue, and I put little stock in it. At least it doesn’t reflect my own experience. If you’re paying attention you’ll notice that many “restrictions” have been removed by legal action the last couple of years. If they researched the “gun problem” well, they’d find that actually doing something effective would create more political problems than they want to deal with. So focusing on the guns themselves rather than the criminal element misusing them is more palatable tactic.
