This comment is based in several fallacies- The NRA spends a lot of money, therefore the public is swayed based on (presumably) false information, therefore congress fears negative public reaction to their votes, therefore they vote against what would (presumably) otherwise be a excellent ideas. This implies a baseness in behavior (reacting in self-interest/fear) on the part of the congressmen that reduces them (and the public, for that matter) to mere children- pawns of the manipulation of the NRA.
