Of course not... I'd say that most politicians, even the above-average ones, are essentially opportunistic people. All systems of political organization are based around the activities that keep the leadership in power, which in our system means winning elections; actually doing good things for the body politic comes second.

This is a good point.. but at the same time, if you're really bored, then you can come into gun forums and announce how pointless it is for the posters in that forum to gripe about anti-gun politicians. You can't expect any of them to care that you think it's pointless, though.
