Is the Gun Lobby a Problem in the GOP?

Every single democrat in the senate would support things like expanded background checks. A lot of my colleagues think that you need the endorsement of the gun lobby to win a republican primary today. I've been, you know, charley brown, kicking a football that gets pulled out from under me over and over again enough times to know that maybe this won't turn out differently. But i owe it to the families in texas, the families in my stay in sandy huck, to give it a try.
