owning guns, it would seem that there are fewer and fewer "gun loving" citizens in those states represented by politicians who are owned by the NRA.

I believe that the American people will voluntarily reduce the number of guns in this country long before the political process catches up with the gun violence epidemic. As it is, only the hard-core Second Amendment absolutists are the loudest (and most idiotic) voices clamoring against sane gun control legislation -- and they are a distinct minority of both gun owners, AND American citizens.

Even the NRA can't legislate the mandatory purchase of lethal weapons, and their bought-and-paid-for politicians will turn on them when the money stops flowing (like the "honorable" people they are).
