I'm aiming logic. Big difference.
I understand why you think so, but lets try to conceptualize the absurdity of the situation some other way. If their were a mayonaise wedge issue..in us politics, an organization like the nra would exist to put up videos of some nutter talking about the clenched fist of justice around our sacred mayo...or we'd all end up in the gulags. If you make mayo illegal, they will shout the same crazy shit harder.
Because people -not- having mayo is the only thing that could make their dog and pony show even more effective. Win win, for them.
Expending effort or political capital to address them is a massive waste of your time and whatever legislation you might cobble together under pressure. The real gun lobby..meanwhile, has bipartisan support. If you got rid of the mayop nutter nra..you'd have to -start- the fight against a much better lobby on that actual issue, rather than wedge maintainers. All the while, it;s not like we have to deal with either to address our problem. It;s not as if laws aren;t on the books at the fed and state level that broadly control guns.
We don;t enforce them. Too busy kicking out bad hombres for bad tail lights and locking up potheads. Murica.
