When you wrote:

America has a problem with gun violence. Our movie theaters, places of worship, schools, streets, and homes are not safe. And it results in more than 32,000 fatalities every year.

Politicians need money for the constant campaign. And the NRA donates a lot of money.

And gun types will inform you that 2/3 of that 32,000 fatalities are only suicides. That diminishes the family suffering caused by suicides in an attempt to minimize the horror of gun violence.

SO the majority of US citizens who want gun control are outweighed by the minority of frightened gun owners and the gun manufacturers who are so ably represented by the gun-whores at the NRA.
